Topic

Making architecture design decisions in practice

Abstract

The importance of architecture design decisions in software engineeringhas been highlighted over the past ten years, where a significant amountof research has been done. Several methods, models and tools have beenproposed and the state of research reflects mature knowledge on thetheory behind architecture design decisions. Still, the state ofpractice lags behind significantly, as industry is reluctant to adoptthe proposed technologies mainly because of the involved cost. In thistalk we will focus on addressing this problem through pragmatic,evidence-based and tool-supported approaches to assist architects inmaking architecture design decisions within the complex realities ofindustry.

Vita

Dr. Paris Avgeriou is Professor of Software Engineering in the Johann Bernoulli Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Groningen, the Netherlands where he has led the Software Engineering research group since September 2006. Before joining Groningen, he was a post-doctoral Fellow of the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM). He has participated in a number of national and European research projects directly related to the European industry of Software-intensive systems. He has co-organized several international conferences and workshops (mainly at the International Conference on Software Engineering - ICSE). He sits on the editorial board of IEEE Software and Springer Transactions on Pattern Languages of Programming (TPLOP). He has edited special issues in IEEE Software, Elsevier Journal of Systems and Software and Springer TPLOP. He has published more than 130 peer-reviewed articles in international journals, conference proceedings and books. His research interests lie in the area of software architecture, with strong emphasis on architecture modeling, knowledge, evolution, patterns and link to requirements. He champions the evidence-based paradigm in Software Engineering research.
