    IEE Proceedings - Software
    Special Issue on Relating Software Requirements and Architecture

    http://www.iee.org/Publish/Journals/Profjourn/Proc/sen/

    Requirements Engineering and Software Architecture have become established areas of Software Engineering research, education, and practice. Software requirements engineering is concerned with discovering the purpose of a software system and the contexts in which it will be used. Software architecture is concerned with the study of the structure of software, including its topology, properties, constituent components and their relationships and patterns of combination.

    Since significant research advances have been made in both areas, exploring the relationships between the processes and the products of these activities becomes a high priority. This requires a better understanding than currently exists of the relationships between

    An improved understanding of the relationships between software requirements and architectures will have a significant impact on the quality of a range of industrial software applications. There is a need to deal with changes and variations in the requirements, which must be accommodated by explicitly designing architectural flexibility and variability. For example, the successful development of software product lines depends on an understanding of the stable aspects of a product's architecture in the face varying product requirements. Similarly, managing the evolution of software systems successfully depends on ensuring stability of software architectures in the face of volatile requirements, some of which can have detrimental effect on such stability.

    This special issue seeks to bring together key research contributions to bridge the gap between software requirements engineering and software architecture, research and practice. This includes contributions on the alignment of software architecture with business architecture. Archival quality novel paper submissions are invited that address topics, which include, but are not restricted to:

    Call for Papers and Evaluation
