Software Architecture And Reference Architecture Of Software-Intensive Systems And Systems-Of-Systems: Contributions To The State Of The Art

Complex software-intensive systems are more and more required as a solution for diverse critical application domains; at the same time, software architecture and also reference architecture have attracted attention as means to more adequately produce and evolve such systems. The main goal of this paper is to summarize our principal contributions in software architecture and reference architecture of software-intensive systems, including Systems-of-Systems. We intend this work can also inspire the opening of other related research lines towards founding the sustainability of such software-intensive systems.
