本研究通过三阶段设计（多方法案例研究、框架设计与试点评估），探究FLOSS架构实践受社会技术与伦理因素影响，并产出实证证据、概念框架及轻量级教学实践，以促进架构工作更明确包容。
AI 中文摘要
本项目旨在研究自由/开源软件（FLOSS）中的软件架构实践如何受到社会技术性与伦理因素的影响，以及教育如何支持更明确、更具包容性和更具反思性的架构工作。鉴于FLOSS在数字主权中的作用，我们观察到架构决策往往缺乏文档记录，分散在问题追踪、拉取请求和邮件列表中。尽管已有研究探讨了架构工件、架构腐化和架构沟通，但FLOSS中架构工作、治理安排与伦理承诺之间的相互作用仍未得到充分探索。本研究采用三阶段设计：（1）对3-4对架构上非平凡的FLOSS项目领域对进行多方法案例研究；（2）与从业者和教育者共同设计框架与干预措施；（3）在项目和课程中进行试点评估。研究将产出：（i）关于FLOSS架构实践的跨案例实证证据；（ii）一个将架构实践与社会技术条件和伦理维度联系起来的概念框架；（iii）使架构工作更加明确和包容的轻量级实践与教学形式。
英文摘要
This project investigates how software architecture practices in Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) are shaped by socio-technical and ethical factors, and how education can support more explicit, inclusive, and reflective architectural work. Motivated by FLOSS's role in digital sovereignty, it is observed that architectural decisions are often undocumented and scattered across issues, pull requests, and mailing lists. While prior research has studied architectural artifacts, erosion, and communication, the interplay between architectural work, governance arrangements, and ethical commitments in FLOSS remains underexplored. The research follows a three-phase design: (1) multi-method case studies of 3-4 domain-pairs of architecturally non-trivial FLOSS projects, (2) framework and intervention design with practitioners and educators, and (3) pilot evaluations in projects and courses. It will produce (i) cross-case empirical evidence on FLOSS architecture practices, (ii) a conceptual framework linking architecture practices to socio-technical conditions and ethical dimensions, and (iii) lightweight practices and teaching formats that render architectural work more explicit and inclusive.
