The design of a software architecture involves creative and unstructured activities with an opportunistic control flow. During this process, several models are generated, which can evolve in several versions and represent the intended artefact in different levels of abstraction. Given thedifficulties in dealing with this complexity by using an improvised way, there is an urgent need for tools that support the capture and administration of this process. In this proposal, TracED, a computational environment and its underlying model to support the capture and tracing of software architectures design processes is presented.
