As a software system evolves, it is common for the as-built architecture to diverge from the as-designed architecture. This gap between the as-designed (conceptual) and the as-built (concrete) architecture leads to a false understanding of the system, resulting in error prone maintenance decisions. We present an approach to repair an architecture of a software system. Our approach attempts to reconcile the conceptual architecture with the concrete architecture by performing a series of simple, semi-automatic repair actions. We applied our architecture repair actions to the Linux kernel and were able to repair many of the anomalies its architecture.
