FoSADA '15: Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop on Future of Software Architecture Design Assistants

In order to deal with performance of software systems, it is important to introduce approaches and tools that work in the early phases of the software life-cycle, even before the code is developed. In fact, if performance requirement violations are ...

NoSQL databases create tight coupling between data model, deployment topology, and application architecture, and so this technology selection must be one of the earliest architecture decisions. The NoSQL technology landscape is large and evolving ...

Designing a software architecture is a highly complex task and associated with a high degree of uncertainty. There are a variety of reusable and established solutions, but they differ in their impact on the system's functionality and quality. The ...

Software architects use so-called software architecture design assistants to get tool-based, (semi-)automated support in engineering software systems. Compared to manual engineering, the main promise of such a support is that architects can create high-...
