520 |a This is a guide for engineers and architects who need to understand the economic impact of architecture design decisions such as the long term and strategic viability, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of applications and systems. It covers how to apply economic considerations during the software architecting activities of a project as well as shows the architecture-centric approaches to development and systematic evolution, where managing complexity, cost reduction, risk mitigation, evolvability, strategic planning and long-term value creation are among the major drivers for adopting such approaches. It assists the objective assessment of the lifetime costs and benefits of evolving systems, and the identification of legacy situations. Such consideration will form the scientific foundation for reasoning about the economics of nonfunctional requirements in the context of architectures and architecting. --
