The Know-It-All Project is investigating methodologies for the development, application, and evolution of frameworks. A concrete framework for database management systems is being developed as a case study for the methodology research. The methodology revolves around a set of models for the domain, the functionality, the architecture, the design, and the code. These models reflect the common and variable features of the domain.Refactoring of source code has been studied as a preliminary step in the evolution of object-oriented software. In cascaded refactoring, we view framework evolution as a two-step process: refactoring and extension. The refactoring step is a set of refactorings, one for each model. The refactorings chosen for a model determine the rationale or constraints for the choice of refactorings of the next model.There are several issues with respect to architecture that we have encountered and are exploring. These include (1) the choice of models for the architecture; (2) the design of the architecture and its evaluation; (3) the evolution of the architecture by extending the concept of refactoring from source code to architecture; and (4) the modeling of variation in architectures across the product line. Here we focus on the refactoring of the architecture.
