This process is loosely based on [http://reports-archive.adm.cs.cmu.edu/anon/isri2005/CMU-ISRI-05-103.pdf Anthony Lattanze's Architecture-Centric Development Methodology (ACDM)], which is popular process framework in the Master of Software Engineering (MSE) program at Carnegie Mellon University and elsewhere. For the development phase, a design-oriented process that refines the architectural modules into detailed design and then code will be used.
