“…There are approaches to support the design of software architectures, like RSEB [12], FAST [13], FORM [14], KobrA [15] and QADA [16]. The product-level perspective of the 4SRS method [17] also promotes functional decomposition of software systems. The result of the application of the 4SRS method is a logical architecture.…”

“…1. The logical architecture is a resulting artifact from the V-Model, and its architectural elements (AEs) and associations between them are derived from the execution of the 4SRS method [17]. An AE is a representation of the pieces from which the final logical architecture can be built.…”

Abstract. In software projects, agile methodologies are based in small development cycles and in continuous communication with customers with low needs on modeling formalism for requirements elicitation and documentation. However, there are projects whose context requires formal modeling and documentation of requirements in order to raise and manage critical issues from the very beginning of the project, like architectural diagrams. This work presents an approach for deriving a list of User Stories using a logical architectural diagram as input. Derived User Stories are then delivered to multiple Scrum teams.

Abstract-The cloud computing paradigm introduces new possibilities and challenges for application design and deployment. On-demand resource provisioning, as well as resource and cost elasticity, need to be considered when realizing largescale distributed applications for cloud environments. Current approaches do not sufficiently address the challenges of efficiently architecting and deploying cloud applications in a holistic manner and do not deal with the specific challenges encountered in cloud infrastructures. In this paper we introduce a methodology tackling the practical problems encountered when designing and deploying cloud applications. It enables the structured creation of cloud-native applications, addressing the complete application development lifecycle, from architectural design to concrete deployment topologies provisioned and executed on cloud infrastructure. By using iterative refinement and seamless provenance documentation of decisions made in the process, the methodology eases communication with relevant stakeholders and enables efficient design and deployment of distributed cloud applications.

“…The detail of the transition rules is subject of future publications. Like in [2,14], we propose the usage of the 4SRS by recursive executions with the purpose of deriving a new logical architecture. The transition steps are structured as follows: (1) Architecture Partitioning, where the Process-level Architectural Elements (AEpc's) under analysis are classified by their computation execution context with the purpose of defining software boundaries to be transformed into Product-level (software) Use Cases (UCpt's.…”

Abstract. When there are insufficient inputs for a product-level approach to requirements elicitation, a process-level perspective is an alternative way for achieving the intended base requirements. We define a V+V process approach that supports the creation of the intended requirements, beginning in a process-level perspective and evolving to a product-level perspective trough successive models derivation with the purpose of creating context for the implementation teams. The requirements are expressed through models, namely logical architectural models and stereotyped sequence diagrams. Those models alongside with the entire approach are validated using the architecture validation method ARID.
