More and more organizations are realizing the importance of software architecture in their system's success in areas such as

• avionics systems
• network tactical systems
• internet information systems
• architecture reconstruction
• automotive systems
• distributed interactive simulation systems
• scenario-based architectural analysis
• system acquisition
• wargame simulation systems
