Technical Papers Parallel Session-III: Software architecture and requirements: A systematic literature review

C-11, AMAN CED

Research in software architecture (SA) can be seen in two perspectives: a traditional and modern one. Software architecture is represented using graphical diagrams (Models, Frameworks) of the system, Architecture Description Languages, Ontology. The main focus of this paper is to know about the software architecture and to find out the strength of evidence in empirical work reported within literature. The outcome of this systematic literature review will be useful for researchers and practitioners and this SLR also includes widely used tools, models, and techniques used in SA; software architecture challenges/Issues widely reported; the SA areas which are under major consideration; the SA areas that require sufficient attention. In the end we also provide information model regarding requirements and architecture, which handles portability and contextual issues regarding platform dependency. Main purpose of information model is to facilitate practitioners for achieving traceability between requirements and architecture.
