  abstract  = {Many software development standards mandate establishing trace links
	among software artifacts such as requirements, architectural elements,
	or source code. However, for typical real-world systems it is currently
	too expensive and error prone to generate highly detailed trace links.
	We previously developed an approach to semi-automatically generate
	trace links and analyzed cost-benefit trade-offs in this context.
	We consider it as imperative to include value considerations into
	planning the generation of trace dependencies. This paper discusses
	three key trade-off decisions for planning the trace generation process:
	(a) the level of detail of traces among artifacts; (b) the value
	of the artifacts that are traced; and (c) the points in time of trace
	generation (early vs. late). We present cost-benefit considerations,
	empirical data, and argue for a pragmatic value-based planning approach.},
