Method: To investigate these aspects, we conducted two separate controlled experiments with software architecture students in which we tested the supportive effect of reusable decision models in decision ...
Objective: However, there is little empirical evidence about the supportive effect of reusable architectural knowledge on the effectiveness and efficiency of architectural decision making. ...
Acknowledgments We would like to thank the reviewers who evaluated the architectural decisions in both controlled experiments. We also thank all students for participating in the experiments. ...
