Software architectural models are widely used to represent the structure of software systems. Software systems need to evolve continuously during their life time, for instance, to adapt to new requirements. Dur- ing the evolution various change requests have to be implemented. However, analysing the architecture of a ...

We report on our experiences and observations from the automotive industry on a multi-year evolution of a complex telematics system that provides remote ac- cess to connected vehicles.

Compared to UML-based modeling, domain-specific languages (DSL) offer many advantages such as simplified tooling and lower costs. When migrating existing UML models to DSLs, however, it is difficult to guarantee that the same source code is generated afterwards. Due to the fact that existing UML models and the former ...

Code Smells sind Strukturschwächen innerhalb von Programmcode, die einen negativen Einfluss auf die Verständlichkeit und Wartbarkeit eines Softwaresystems haben können. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen vergangener Studien, wurden in den letzten Jahren verschiedene Werkzeuge zur automatischen Erkennung von Code Smells ...

Software architectures are the conceptual tool to share information about key aspects of a software system and to enable reasoning about the principal, most fundamental, and often most difficult-to-change design decisions of the system. Studies of failed software systems give evidence that architecture drift, erosion or ...
