In addition, it covers key concepts of a software archi- tecture course, steps to pursue an architectural thinking, the elements of organizational architecture maturity and emerging trends and issues such as: Architecture evolution, Architecture conformance, Frameworks, platforms, and ecologies, and Self-Adaptive Systems. Further we examine how software engineering has matured over the past two decades (and the role that software architecture has played in this process), the requirements of architectural thinking (at both technical and organizational levels), the importance for an organization to have mature archi- tectural practices and the existence of important new trends that are reshaping the way software architecture is practiced}, publisher = {United Academic Journals}, keywords = {Emerging trends and issues}, keywords = {Organizational architecture maturity}, keywords = {Architectural thinking}, keywords = {Evolution of Software Engineering}, keywords = {Software Engineering}, keywords = {Challenges of Software Engineering}, keywords = {Software Architecture}, title = {Software Engineering: Reflections on an Evolving Discipline}, title = {Ingeniería de software: Reflexiones sobre una disciplina en evolución}, author = {Garlan, David}, }
