Abstract

This paper proposes a method for recovery and subsequent maintenance of the architecture for actively evolving software systems. The method's underlying idea has to do with constructing a basic set of the architecture elements, which set would then be used for creating different views of the system. The responsibilities of the modules, which make up the software system, as well as elements of the system's data dictionary, are considered elements of this basic set. Of special meaning is the fact that the system is being actively maintained and developed, that the knowledge about it is accessible, but needs to be alienated from the respective bearing media, to be generalized and formalized.
