The application of knowledge-sharing workspace paradigm for software architecture processes

Paper presented at the 3rd International Workshop on Sharing and Reusing Architectural Knowledge (SHARK '08), held as part of the 30th International Conference on Software Engineering.Management of architectural knowledge is vital for improving an organisation's capabilities in software architecture. Recently, there have been many efforts to develop various kinds of tools for managing architectural knowledge. However, most of these efforts overlook the fact that most of the working teams in today's organisations are distributed. This paper proposes the application of electronic workspace paradigm for capturing and sharing knowledge to support the software architecture processes.Muhammad Ali Baba
