Motivation in software architecture and software project management

Software architecture (SA) is considered an active research area nowadays, although it is not a new activity while developing software. Software architecture is a structure represented using Architecture Description Languages (ADLs) and graphical diagrams of the system, showing different components and relationships among them. Software Project Management (SPM) pertains to the management and controlling activities involved in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and includes planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling the software processes. This paper aims to identify the motivational factors affecting software architects and software project managers using the survey technique. We have collected results from questionnaire surveys technique which will help software project managers and software architects to understand the factors that can affect the overall quality of the software and its architecture. The last step will be to propose an updated framework for Systematic Literature Review (SLR). This new concept of using Clustering, Genetic Algorithm and Agents in SLR was proposed to produce an efficient and optimized query search strings and searches for search engines.
