- Architecture-Based Development
- The development of a software architecture is a critical step in the development of large software-intensive systems. A software architecture is fundamental for the development of software produce lines where multiple systems with different functionality are created from the same basic architecture. Even with this emphasis on architecture, the process...

- The Four-Domain Architecture: An Approach to Support Enterprise Architecture Design
- Managing an enterprise architecture is a challenging task. While careful planning typically goes into its design, an enterprise architecture actually emerges as a result of implementing individual projects. It is this de facto architecture, not the conceptual one, that provides the capabilities for executing business strategies, and understanding this emergent...

- Lessons Learned in Applying Architecture to the Acquisition of Air Force Command and Control Systems
- The extension of architecture use into system design has been somewhat less successful - largely due to the fact the contractors' existing processes have not traditionally been architecture-based. Further study on how to incorporate architecture data into existing development processes will be needed to make improvements in this area. Architecture...
