Presented by Peter Eeles of IBM UK. The idea of the talk came from the book “How to measure anything”. The short version of the talk is that successful architects share common personal traits; successful architects have repeatable practices; these
ECSA 2017: Control of Self-Adaptation under Partial Observation: A Modular Approach
Presented by Tobias Olsson (because the author didn’t get a visa in time) The idea of the paper is that while transforming you can have bad states that you do not want to reacah, maybe because the system is unstable
ECSA 2017: Automatic extraction of design decisions from issue management systems: a machine learning based approach
Presented by Manoj Bhat The idea of the paper is to use machine learning, especially classification, from issue management systems. Why are we looking at architecture design decisions (ADDs)? We all know the advantages, but it is not yet well
ECSA 2017: An Architecture Framework for Modelling and Simulation of Situational-Aware Cyber-Physical Systems
Presented by Henry Muccini The idea is that the 2020s will be the age of intelligent connected systems, according to Woods 2016. This is already happening. Thins are progressing: smart buildings, autonomous cars, etc. In architectural terms, this results in
ECSA 2017: Microservices in a Small Development Organization – An Industrial Experience Report
Presented by Georg Buchgeher Microservices have many advantages, but also introduce many challenges, such as a high learning curve and introducing new complexity such as distributed systems, logging, monitoring and “eventual consistency”. However, their advantages are still such that large
ECSA 2017: Decision Models for Microservices – Design Areas, Stakeholders, Use Cases, and Requirements
Presented by Georg Buchgeher Microservices are small independently developed and operated services. Introducing these in an organization is challenging; they affect the architecture, but also the organziation itself. The idea of this paper is to structure the scattered knowledge about
ECSA 2017: On the Biases in Architecture Decision-Making
Presented by Andrzej Zalewski and Klara Popławska We have two types of minds in thinking according to Kahneman: the fast and unconscious mind and the slow and conscious reasoning. Typically, we refer to these as system 1 and system 2,
ECSA 2017: COntinuous REarchitecting of QoS Models: Collaborative Analysis for Uncertainty Reduction
Presented by Catia Trubiana In the process of architecting (or better requirements elicitation), many software uncertainties exist, for example, because the customer does not yet know these, or some internal parameters of the software may influence the qualities, without knowing
ECSA 2017: PARAD Repository: On the Capitalization of Performance Analysis Process for AADL Designs
Presented by Emmanuel Grolleau. The context of the talk is around the aerospace domain. There are lot’s of models created in this domain, but it is difficult to ensure all models are consistent and whether the thing will work at
ECSA 2017: Synthesis and Quantitative Verification of Tradeoff Spaces for Families of Software Systems
Presented by Javier Cámara Modern software-intensive systems are subject to uncertainty, due to many different reasons. Decisions often involve the composition of existing components. It is difficult to envision how uncertainty impatcs guarantees satisfaction of requirements. An important class of
