PAKME is a web-based architecture knowledge
management tool that is aimed at providing knowledge
management support for the software architecture
process. It has been built on top of an open source
groupware platform, Hipergate [16]. This platform
provides various collaborative features including contact
management, project management, online collaboration
tools and others that can be exploited to build a
groupware support environment. This environment
incorporates architecture knowledge management
features for geographically distributed stakeholders
involved in the software architecture process.
