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.
