Abstract

Business-driven software architectures are emerging and gaining importance for many industries. As softwareintensive solutions continue to be more complex and operate in rapidly changing environments, there is a pressure for increased business flexibility realized by more efficient software architecture mechanisms to keep up with the necessary speed of change. We investigate how improved context descriptions could be implemented in software components, and support important software development practices like business modeling and requirement engineering. This paper proposes context descriptions as an architectural support for improving the connection between business flexibility and software components. We provide initial results regarding software architectural mechanisms which can support context descriptions as well as the context description’s support for business-driven software architecture, and the business flexibility demanded by the business ecosystems.
