USC Center for Software Engineering Focused Workshop on Software Architectures: Issue Paper

The Center for Software Engineering (CSE) at USC is currently involved in research on software architecting and architectures. The main objective of this workshop is to calibrate the CSE architecture research strategy to the Center Affiliates’ needs and priorities. This includes identifying and prioritizing the most critical architecture research issues; clarifying the nature of, and defining the interactions between the architecture subdisciplines (representation, style, domain specific software architectures, process, and infrastructure); and calibrating the maturity of emerging architecture infrastructure technologies with respect to Affiliate-scale needs.
