Fifth International Workshop on Sharing and Reusing Architectural Knowledge (SHARK 2010)

Architectural Knowledge (AK) is defined as the integrated representation of the software architecture of a software-intensive system or family of systems along with architectural decisions and their rationale, external influence and the development environment. The SHARK workshop series focuses on current methods, languages, and tools that can be used to extract, represent, share, apply, and reuse AK, and the experimentation and/or exploitation thereof. This fifth edition of SHARK will discuss, among other topics, the contributions of this community to a Body of Knowledge on software architecture.
