Resumo

Context: Reference architectures have significantly contributed to software system development, leading to system standardization, interoperability, and project costs and risk reduction. Although they can considerably promote architectural knowledge reuse, most of them do not remain useful or even survive over the years. As a consequence, the cost, effort, and time designing them are wasted. Objective: We introduce the concept of sustainability to the reference architecture field and detail the view of sustainability-aware reference architecture. Methods: Based on existing initiatives and evidence from both reference and software architectures, we propose this novel view that contains two sustainability perspectives (of and in) and five sustainability pillars: technical, economic, organizational, social, and environmental. Results: Several open issues still exist, so we highlight some breakthrough ideas for future research directions to make the community think. Conclusions: Changing the mindset towards this novel view on how to deal with reference architectures is necessary to ensure their long-term value. (AU)
