Resolve the architectural-degradation problem

Develop effective approaches for managing architectural degradation across detection, remediation, prediction, and continuous architectural governance, because architectural degradation remains unsolved.

Background

The conclusion characterizes architectural degradation as an unresolved problem despite substantial progress in detection. The paper identifies the remaining challenge as closing the diagnosis–remediation gap through decision support, runtime-aware and predictive assessment, and continuous governance. These directions are presented as priorities rather than completed solutions.
