Abstract

This retrospective on nearly two decades of software architecture research examines the software architecture field's maturation by tracing the evolution of research questions and results. Early qualitative results set the stage for later precision, formality, and automation, how results have built up over time, and how research results have moved into practice.This article is part of a special issue on software architecture.
