	abstract = {Architectural decision modeling aims at supporting the software architecture design process by capturing a reusable body of architectural knowledge. Whereas significant progress has been made towards this vision, there still remains a number of open problems. This paper outlines selected research challenges and opportunities related to knowledge capturing and sharing, model evolution and verification, and the integration of the architectural design process with existing software development methodologies. Our goal is to start a discussion on a roadmap for future research on reusable modeling of architectural decisions.},

	abstract = {Recent technology trends in the Web Services (WS) domain indicate that a solution eliminating the presumed complexity of the WS-* standards may be in sight: advocates of REpresentational State Transfer (REST) have come to believe that their ideas explaining why the World Wide Web works are just as applicable to solve enterprise application integration problems and to simplify the plumbing required to build service-oriented architectures. In this paper we objectify the WS-* vs. REST debate by giving a quantitative technical comparison based on architectural principles and decisions. We show that the two approaches differ in the number of architectural decisions that must be made and in the number of available alternatives. This discrepancy between freedom-from-choice and freedom-of-choice explains the complexity difference perceived. However, we also show that there are significant differences in the consequences of certain decisions in terms of resulting development and maintenance costs. Our comparison helps technical decision makers to assess the two integration styles and technologies more objectively and select the one that best fits their needs: REST is well suited for basic, ad hoc integration scenarios, WS-* is more flexible and addresses advanced quality of service requirements commonly occurring in enterprise computing. },

	abstract = {Capturing and sharing software architecture design rationale has always been particularly challenging in complex application domains such as enterprise computing. Facing the ongoing acceleration of technology innovation and economic forces such as outsourcing and offshoring, conservative knowledge management practices and existing tools are no longer sufficient, offering only rudimentary support for knowledge exchange and collaboration on the Internet. In this paper, we present ADkwik, a Web 2.0 collaboration system supporting the cooperative decision making work of software architects. We describe the realization of ADkwik as a situational application wiki and discuss initial evaluation results. Thanks to its ease of use, ADkwik has already shown concrete benefits to its users, including rapid team orientation, tangible decision making advice, and simplification of asset harvesting.},
