Workshop on SHAring and Reusing architectural Knowledge (SHARK 2012)

Abstract

Architectural Knowledge (AK) is defined as the integrated representation of the software architecture of a software-intensive system or family of systems along with architectural decisions and their rationale, external influence and the development environment. The SHARK workshop series focuses on current methods, languages, and tools that can be used to extract, represent, share, apply, and reuse AK, and the experimentation and/or exploitation thereof. In this seventh SHARK workshop we will focus on current approaches tackling the problem of supporting the software engineering tasks driven by or producing architectural knowledge.
