Abstract
To prevent future problems when developing or maintaining software, it is crucial to have architectural knowledge (AK) documented. A problem that can occur is that the documentation is scattered between multiple places. Two notable places where AK is currently stored are mailing lists and issue-tracking systems. There currently is no defined relationship between emails and issues, making it hard to find related issue-mail pairs where AK is stored. In this study we attempt to find and define these relationships, as well as provide a way to find them using cosine similarity. For this we used 43815 emails and 70759 issues from Apache projects. From this we identified six occurring patterns and their characteristics. We also used different types of cosine similarity and determined their precision for finding emails and issues that talk about the same architectural design decision. Keywords: Architectural design decisions, Architectural knowledge, Cosine similarity, Issue tracking systems, Mailing lists
