When constructing software systems, software architects must
identify and evaluate many competing design options and document the
rationale behind any selections made. Two supporting concepts are
pattern languages and architectural decision models. Unfortunately,
both concepts only provide partial support: Extensive upfront
education is needed for practitioners to be in command of the full
pattern literature relevant in their field; retrospective
architectural decision modeling is viewed as a painful extra
responsibility without immediate gains. In this paper, we combine
pattern languages and reusable architectural decision models into a
design method that is both comprehensive and comprehensible. Our
design method identifies the required decisions in requirements
models systematically, gives domain-specific pattern selection
advice, and provides traceability from platform-independent patterns
to platform-specific decisions. We validate our approach by applying
it to enterprise applications as an exemplary application genre and
a SOA case study from the finance industry.
