Software Architecture in Distributed Software Development: A Review

  • Conference paper
On the Move to Meaningful Internet Systems: OTM 2013 Workshops (OTM 2013)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8186))

Abstract

This paper presents a literature review of distributed software development (DSD) or global software development (GSD) and software architecture. The main focus is to highlight the current researches, observations, as well as practice directions in these areas. The results have been limited to peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles, and analysis reports that major studies have been performed in software architecture and global software development, while the empirical studies of interfacing distributed/global software development and software architecture has only received very little attention among researchers up to now. This indicates the need for future research in these areas.
