“…This will allow finding studies with results that allow answering of the defined research questions about the software architecture of educational websites [12]. For this, a score of 1 is assigned to each QA question that is answered in the affirmative: (1) software architecture is specified in the paper; (2) specifies the type of software architecture used; (3) specifies the method used in educational software architectures; (4) details the technological components used; (5) shows empirical results of software development architecture; (6) the journal is indexed in the SJR (to obtain the quartile score of the selected papers in the SJR, a search of the journal name in the SJR website 1 was carried out); -241 (7) the journal is indexed in JCR (to obtain the quartile score of the selected papers in the JCR, we did a search of the journal name in the website Clarivate's JCR 2 ). The questions posed for the quality evaluation can be seen in Table 3, where the minimum value of the score is equal to 0 and the maximum value of the score is equal to 7 (+1 for each question).…”

Systematic literature review on software architecture of educational websites

The modern world greatly depends on information systems and the software that governs them. The software architecture defines and designs the holistic structure that the software will have, its components, the interaction between them and all the development is done around it. The purpose of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to analyse the software architectures used in educational websites, methodologies, technological components and empirical results. The search of the SLR yielded 23 studies from the most significant academic sources in education and software engineering. The results of the SLR show that the analysed educational websites were proposing a software architecture, developing a system, proposing a model, assessing of a platform, proposing a Folksonomy-Based Ontology Maintenance, reviewing smart home design, and proposing a Web-based platform to aid parallel, distributed and high-performance computing education. Of the 23 selected studies, 13 carried out an evaluation of their research with either students, teachers, professionals or a combination of these. In conclusion, the selected studies present narrated experiments of projects or individuals that seek to improve collaborative learning in the educational area. Finally, an important finding is that the proposed software architectures do not contemplate laws or quality standards for universal access.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

“…Therefore, research in the field of software architecture is a challenge, because research projects are anecdotal test results of individuals or projects that are difficult to compare. This increases the possibility of establishing subjective value judgements [5].…”

“…Alrededor de la arquitectura de software existen mitos y creencias, sustentados por casos de éxito o fracaso, los cuales van desde la cantidad de esfuerzo necesario para la documentación, hasta el tamaño del equipo o las personas responsables de tomar decisiones de diseño arquitectural. La mayoría de las creencias se basan en la idea de que el resultado del proyecto depende en gran medida de los métodos utilizados durante el diseño y la toma de decisiones (van Der Ven;Bosch, 2016). Durante la creación de una arquitectura de software, los arquitectos y los demás interesados toman decisiones.…”

Un lenguaje de modelado para representar visualmente las decisiones de diseño arquitectónico y su rationale A modeling language for visually representing architectural design decisions and their rationale Resumen El rationale arquitectónico es el conjunto de razones detrás de las decisiones tomadas al diseñar la arquitectura de un sistema de software. Normalmente, dicho rationale se queda en las mentes de los diseñadores y demás involucrados en el diseño. Por lo tanto, el razonamiento detrás de las decisiones que sustentan el modelo de arquitectura puede perderse si no se documenta adecuadamente, causando problemas de mantenibilidad en el software. En la práctica, el rationale no se documenta o se documenta en medio de las descripciones arquitecturales, lo cual dificulta su comprensión y apoyo a las decisiones posteriores, dentro del desarrollo y mantenimiento de software, lo cual resulta más crítico en el enfoque ágil de desarrollo. Para abordar este problema, en este trabajo se propone un enfoque de documentación que combina el modelado del rationale, con foco en las decisiones que se toman en proyectos que utilizan métodos ágiles, con el fin de especificar un lenguaje que fundamente las bases para la construcción de una herramienta que hemos denominado Decisions and rationale modeling language (DRML). El lenguaje es evaluado para documentar el rationale en el marco del proyecto "Sistema Único de Información Indígena (SUIIN)", en el contexto de una entidad pública que dentro sus procesos tienen un equipo de trabajo conformado por ingenieros de sistemas, enfocados en el desarrollo de software. Dicha evaluación ha permitido establecer que el enfoque brinda la suficiente expresividad para documentar las decisiones y su rationale, sin embargo, presenta limitaciones para escalar el modelado para un número grande de decisiones y sus relaciones. Palabras clave: rationale; arquitectura de software; decisiones de diseño arquitectónico; modelo de decisiones; rationale arquitectónico.
