The Future of Architecting Research

abstract The discipline of systems architecting must be developed in the wider context of existing disciplines and related research work. The body of knowledge to be developed consists of a frame of reference, systems architecting methods and case descriptions.

The education of architects must be developed concurrently with the know how. Know how gets value via skilled people.
