“…This approach also minimizes the human effort required to establish traceability that can be used to support maintenance activities and prevent architectural erosion [21]. Velasco-Elizondo and colleagues proposed an approach based on an information extraction technique (i.e., entities extraction) and knowledge representation (i.e., ontology) to automatically analyze architecture patterns considering specific quality attributes (e.g., Performance) [22]. To be specific, an ontology contains two sub-types of ontologies.…”

“…There are multiple automated techniques for recognition of structure for a formal document in PDF or other formats. These techniques can be divided into two categories; machine learning techniques [13], [14] and the others are heuristics techniques [15], [16]. These methods use different ways to recognize the structure e.g.…”

Software requirement artifacts such as manuals request for proposals, and software requirements specification (SRS) are commonly focused on functional requirements. In most SRS files, nonfunctional requirements do not formally encoded or encoded as a whole, not for an individual design problem. Moreover, these nonfunctional requirements are intermingled with functional requirements. Therefore, these nonfunctional requirements need special attention to understand for successful project development. These nonfunctional requirements have an impact on each other and optimal tradeoff is required for balanced nonfunctional requirements set. NFRs have a negative and positive tradeoff with each other such as increase confidentiality, decrease the availability, and enhance authenticity. So, an optimum tradeoff among these design problem within a module is required to have better design decisions. Instead of considering all nonfunctional requirements, the NFRs that have mutual tradeoff is considered. In this paper, we devised a novel document annotation scheme for SRS and extracted nonfunctional requirements from these annotated artifacts. In the next step, we classified NFRs into two classes security triad and performance triad, and the cost is assumed constant for each NFR. From the design problem, the tradeoff ratio is calculated among NFRs associated with it. Then, the production possibility graph is plotted to estimate the optimum tradeoff ratio within the module. For estimation economic optimum from a set of NFR, iso-cost graphs by assuming the constant cost. Some hypothetical variations in cost are also examined using 3D iso-cost graph. The reason to measure these tradeoff is to make design decision more empirical and helpful for the selection of design patterns, especially secure design patterns.

“…Miscellaneous issues: this includes other issues that cannot fit into any of the previous classifications' issues such as re-factoring, code smells and anti-patterns. A major challenge of design patterns as discussed in [34,38,39] is the searching and selection of design patterns before employing a right pattern into the system.…”

Software architecture and design is an important component in the software engineering field. This aspect of software engineering covers the functional and non-functional requirements of any system being proposed to be developed, while software architecture deals with non-functional requirements, software design entails the functional requirements. The objective of this paper is to critically analyze current topics in Software architecture and design. The method of analysis involved the use of inclusion and exclusion criteria of papers published in journals and conferences. These papers were accessed from digital libraries like ScienceDirect, and IEEE explore, with a quantitative approach of analysis been imbibed. From the analysis, the result showed that, of 35 papers used in analysis, 34.3% discussed stakeholders' involvement and decisions in software design. 17.1% for design quality, 20% examined software reuse while 11.4% discussed software evaluation and 8.6% of papers reviewed discussed software management, evolution and software development life cycle each which should be more focused as it is the fundamentals of software design and architecture. From the analysis derived, stakeholder's involvement and decision in software design is an integral part in software building for effective use. Thereby making researchers dwell more on the topic. The least discussed topics was due to the expectations of researchers. Expecting readers to have a fore knowledge of the fundamentals of design which includes software management, evolution and software development life cycle.
