Abstract

This paper focuses on the business aspects of architecture decision making -- in particular information needed by managers and architects for making architecture investment decisions. We present the results of 19 interviews in an industrial organization aimed at identifying information used for architecture decision making in the context of product lines. We summarize the interview findings to investigate future possibilities in improving architecture decision making.
