- 2. Towards High-Quality Software Architecture through Collaborative Design Decisions Marcin Nowak PhD candidate at University of Lugano Research advisor: professor Cesare Pautasso
- 3. Context Software Architecture The fundamental abstraction in software design Set of architectural design decisions 4
- 4. Context Software Architectural Knowledge Design Artifacts + Decisions 5
- 5. Assumption The quality of each design artifact is linked and therefore, in order to get predictable quality of the final product, one needs to be able to estimate and control the quality of the artifacts in the chain. 7
- 6. Concerns about complexity Limited expertise and overwhelming complexity Misalignment of available and required expertise 10
- 7. Concerns about process Expensive changes in design Misestimation of the design progress Envisioning Support Planning Deployment Development Stabilizing 11
- 8. Research Problems 1. Decision Quality Estimation 2. Collaborative design decisions 13
- 9. 1. Decisions Quality Estimation You cant control what you cant measure Tom DeMarco Research Questions: Q1: What is a good design decision and how to recognize it? Q2: What are qualities of software architectural knowledge? Q3: How to define, quantify and measure qualities of software architectural knowledge? 14
- 10. 2. Collaborative Design Decisions Research Question: Q3: How to support collaborative software architecture design? 15
- 15. SAW Benefits - analytics Misestimation of the design progress Late and expensive changes in design Plan Predict Know your knowledge and know what you dont know 36

Editor's Notes
- #2: capitalization
- #3: capitalization
- #4: Put AK on the slide AK=D+D
- #5: Reference to the architecture definitionRethink division between architecture and AK
- #6: Reference to the architecture definitionRethink division between architecture and AK
- #8: Proof colorsHypothesis: better decisions lead to better design output
- #9: You cannot even build a house out of that
- #10: Concerns and context get into the analysisAnalysis produces requirements for synthesis and evaluationSynthesis produces architecture candidates which need to undergo evaluation
- #11: Make more slides on those
- #12: Make more slides on those
- #14: Motivate collaboration by saying that it should improve quality
- #16: Make a figure out of that and pin-point interesting scenario
- #21: Last but not least
- #34: Make some nice SS of SAW
- #35: Work on warehouse paradigm and think where actual action happens
- #42: State the purpose motivateName ADD modelsHighlight on the data input. Make it fairly fast here. Make explicit three parts persistence, metrics and co.
- #48: Make a figure without decisions
- #49: Make single alternative active
- #51: Drop decision symbols
- #52: Do not use static referencing structure
- #53: Make example of the unknown much simplier by adding it to the small exampleRemove the big space
- #54: More horizontal SS of visualization
- #55: Emphasize interactivityShow SS of simple knowledge model which I have introduced earlier
- #60: Remove capitalization
- #61: Emphasize outcomes of the evaluationExpress industrial interest, time dependence
- #67: Four slides to represent the content
