A Concept Graph Based Knowledge Model for Software Architecture

Software Architecture is a subject that undergoes fast development. Nevertheless, there is little work done to structure the related knowledge. This paper attempts to set up a concept graph based knowledge model for disciplines and applied the model to Software Architecture to gain an integral view of the knowledge. Compared to the results by ontology, our approach reveals richer structure and closer inter-relationship for Software Architecture knowledge.
