Abstract
Designing complex systems such as satellites requires delivering design data with the associated list of updates regularly in a form of release notes. Creating release notes for system data delivery is challenging for system architects because it requires analyzing all resolved issues during a particular period of time and then summarizing them in a readable format for other architects. In this paper we present an approach for creating release notes. We performed an empirical study involving large amount of satellite projects data to categorize the content of release notes delivered by architects. We have identified the main patterns. We developed an algorithm that discovers these patterns given the history of project data. We applied our approach to system data managed in configuration.
