Resumen:
The Software Architecture Document (SAD) is an important artifact in the early stages of software development, as it serves to share and discuss key design and quality-attribute concerns among the stakeholders of the project. Nowadays, architectural documentation is commonly hosted in Wikis in order to favor communication and interactions among stakeholders. However, the SAD is still a large and complex document, in which stakeholders often have diculties in nding information that is relevant to their interests or daily tasks. We argue that the discovery of stakeholders´ interests is helpful to tackle this information overload problem, because a recommendation tool can leverage on those interests to provide each stakeholder with SAD sections that match his/her prole. In this work, we propose an approach to infer stakeholders´ interests, based on applying a combination of Natural Language Processing and User Proling techniques. The interests are partially inferred by monitoring the stakeholders´ behavior as they browse a Wiki-based SAD. A preliminary evaluation of our approach has shown its potential for making recommendations to stakeholders with dierent proles and support them in architectural tasks.
