Architecture description in-the-large∗

Successful Architecting in-the-large, namely across various architecture genres and domains of application, will require Architecture Description in-the-large. This position paper addresses the issues of the workshop from insights of Architecture Description, as those ideas have evolved from Software Architecture. It is a heretical or minimalist approach maintaining that for the most part Architecting is Architecting, and that the differences across domains and genres derive from the key architectural drivers, namely: Stakeholders and Concerns. In that context, I further argue what is needed to better address stakeholder and concerns in context.
