Architectural decision identification in architectural patterns

When modeling recurring architectural decisions for reuse, the boundaries of the knowledge asset under construction must be defined in a scoping step. This paper introduces and combines two supporting concepts for this step, pattern-centric decision identification rules and generic meta issues; one particular meta issue catalog is also presented. The resulting general-purpose decision identification method is validated by identifying 35 decisions that recur in enterprise application development and service-oriented architecture design.
