AD Mentor

AD Mentor brings support for the AD modeling language for architectural decisions introduced in the IEEE/IFIP WICSA 2015 paper Architectural Decision Guidance across Projects.

AD is a modeling language designed to extract knowledge entities from past projects and reuse them as decision guidelines in future projects. A typical AD project starts with one or more existing Problem Spaces provided by knowledge producers. Architects then derive a concrete Solution Space enriched with custom decisions specific to the project and document the options that have been chosen to solve general and project-specific design problems.

The AD Mentor add-in includes a UML profile for the AD language and several tools that simplify working with Solution and Problem Spaces.
