“…A few of general architectural knowledge management practices for GSD have been proposed and evaluated in [7] and [8]. Furthermore, a literature review has been done [1] to explore architectural knowledge in a GSD context, and six architectural viewpoints are defined to model GSD systems in [24].…”

Abstract-Global software development (GSD) is considered as the coordinated activities of software development that are geographically and temporally distributed. The management of architectural knowledge, specifically, architectural design decisions (ADDs), becomes important in GSD due to the geographical, temporal, and cultural challenges in global environments. Based on our previous work on ADD management in localized software development (LSD), we present five ADD paradigms used for GSD projects with different organizational structures. We also investigate the benefits and the challenges of the ADD paradigms by conducting an evaluation of the paradigms using extensive archived semi-structured interview data from industrial GSD projects. We aim to provide a fundamental framework for managing ADD documentation and evolution in GSD, as well as offer useful insights into managing architectural knowledge in a global setting.

“…Some of the authors doing such effort are Hossain et al [15], [16], Da Silva et al [8], [9], Beecham et al [2] [3] and López et al [29]. From the SLRs' results and mapping the authors proposed conceptual models that could be efficiently used to aid practices related to different aspects in distributed projects.…”

Distributed Software Development (DSD) emerged from the need to achieve geographically distant customers and currently, allows organizations have global customers and other benefits. This scenario has given rise to new Software Engineering challenges resulting from DSD particularities. Several Systematic Reviews were conducted to address these new challenges. The objective of this paper is to categorize systematic reviews conducted in DSD context. We used the systematic review method to identify SLRs (Systematic Literature Reviews) that address DSD aspects. This study is categorized as a tertiary review. Of fourteen SLRs, seven address aspects of managing distributed development. Four SLRs addressed topics of engineering process. The three remaining are related to Requirements, Design and Software Engineering Education in DSD. The topic areas covered by SLRs are limited, where the majority are focused on summarize the current knowledge concerning a research question. Despite the number of SLRs, the amount of empirical studies is relatively small.
