Result of survey on architecture principles

This questionnaire is meant to provide insight into the current practice of organizations in using architecture principles. It is part of a larger research project that aims to provide insight into building better rationale for architectural decisions. The questions are split into three parts: the first part focuses on the specification of architecture principles and the design decisions that are based on them, the second looks at the value of using architecture principles and the third touches upon other areas of application for principles. This questionnaire is also meant to provide insight into how architecture principles are actually used to support decision making. Architecture principles can complement architectural models by revealing information about decisions, constraints and assumptions.

本调查问卷旨在深入洞察各组织应用架构原则（architecture principles）的现行实践现状。本问卷隶属于一项旨在为架构决策构建更完善论证依据的大型研究项目。问卷内容分为三个部分：第一部分聚焦架构原则的规范定义及其支撑的设计决策；第二部分探讨架构原则的应用价值；第三部分则涉及架构原则的其他应用场景。本问卷同时旨在探究架构原则在实际中如何支撑决策制定。架构原则可通过揭示决策、约束条件与假设前提相关信息，对架构模型形成有效补充。
