Software Architecture as a Set of Architectural Design Decisions (2005, background): “Consequently, knowledge about the design decisions underlying the architecture is lost [20].”
Restful web services vs. "big"' web services: making the right architectural decision (2008, methodology): “Architectural decisions [39] are the key metaphor in our comparison method.”
Building Up and Reasoning About Architectural Knowledge (2006, background): “Similarly, Bosch and others have pointed out that design decisions, the tight set of interdependencies between them, and their mapping to both the requirements, needs, constraints upstream, or the design and implementation downstream are also a key component of architectural knowledge [2, 15, 25].”
An Ontology of Architectural Design Decisions in Software-Intensive Systems (2004, methodology): “In this paper we attempt to make architectural design decision a first-class entity in software architecture representation, as suggested by (Bosch, 2004) or (Tyree & Ackerman, 2005).”
