In this paper, we argue for the incorporation of architecture analysis techniques in Software Factories. While software factories often rely on a domain-specific (or product-line specific) architecture, frequently there are some architectural alternatives left open. In these situations, architectural analysis, static or dynamic is essential. The paper elaborates these concepts and shows an exam...

The Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise has long been uncertain. While regional variability in ice dynamics has been revealed, a picture of mass changes throughout the continental ice sheet is lacking. Here, we use satellite radar altimetry to measure the elevation change of 72% of the grounded ice sheet during the period 1992-2003. Depending on the density of the snow giving rise to the o...
