  abstract = {Little guidance and few methods are available to refine a set of software
	requirements into an architecture satisfying those requirements.
	Part of the challenge stems from the fact that requirements and architectures
	leverage different terms and concepts to capture the artifacts relevant
	to each. We present CBSP (Component-Bus-System- Property), a lightweight
	approach intended to provide a systematic way of reconciling requirements
	and architectures. CBSP leverages a simple set of architectural concepts
	(components, connectors, overall systems, and their properties) to
	recast the requirements in a way that facilitates their straightforward
	mapping to architectures. Furthermore, the approach allows us to
	capture and maintain arbitrarily complex relationships between requirements
	and architectural artifacts, as well as across different CBSP artifacts.
	We have extensively applied CBSP within the context of particular
	requirements and architecture definition techniques, EasyWinWin and
	C2. We leverage that experience to demonstrate the CBSP method and
	tool support using a large-scale example that highlights the transition
	from an EasyWinWin requirements negotiation into a C2-style architectural
	model},
