Architecture Principles Research Data

Start of the Research on Architecture Principles

In this research, which started in 2007, over 250 organizations have brought up lists of architecture principles. A lot of that data is open to anyone. Also, the questionnaires that architects, analysts, engineers, and managers have filled in are available to download. With this, the Dragon1 Architecture Principles Research takes off as one of the first transparent and open researches in Business Administration and Information Technology.

The architecture principles data has been categorized into the following types:

For a list of all open research data on architecture principles in the research, download the questionnaires that were used to collect the architecture principles (not available anymore). The questionnaires and format of the data collecting are very important to make the data fit for deriving statements. A lot of data shows no use of the theory already so it can be measured very well what the effect is of using another approach to formulating the data.
