| Abstract |
|
Industrial systems are examples of complex and
often long-lived systems in which software is playing
an increasingly important role. Their architectures
play a crucial role in maintaining the properties of
such systems during their entire life cycle. In this
paper, we present the results of a case study based on
a series of interviews and a workshop with key
personnel from research and development groups of
successful international companies in their Swedish
locations. The main goal of the investigation was to
find the significant factors which influence system and
software architectures and to find similarities and
differences between the architecture-determining
decisions and the architectures of these systems. The
role of the architect was an important subject of the
investigation. Our findings result in recommendations
relating to the design and evolution of system
architectures and suggestions regarding areas in
which future research would be beneficial.
