Goal
To share our experience regarding
a set of architectural challenges
respective solution ideas
Tassio Vale FPC@UFBA WDES 2015
Audience
For researchers
We present evidence from software architecture practice in a distributed environment
Researchers might investigate the relationship of challenges reported in both
literature and practice
For practitioners
Be aware of possible architectural challenges
Apply (any) proposed solution ideas in other contexts
