Abstract

In the area of software architecture, in recent years, modeling design decisions is becoming more and more popular as a means to record architectural knowledge (AK) and capture the rationale of a design. Unfortunately, decision modeling is rather time-consuming and hence often forgotten in practice. In this paper, we propose that this problem can be avoided by utilizing domain-specific information that contains AK. We focus on domain-specific AK in the domain of business governance and security compliance. A novel approach is presented for recording the compliance concerns and extracting the corresponding AK. For this purpose we introduce a compliance meta-model and propose a mapping to the AK. Model-driven techniques are used as a supporting tool for generating AK documentation.
