Designing a proper architecture of Global Software Development (GSD) systems is important to meet the requirements for the communication, coordination and control of distributed GSD teams. However, designing a (GSD) architecture involves many different concerns and usually is not a trivial process. We present a question framework and a meta-model for GSD to derive application architecture of GSD projects.

The meta-model and the question framework have been derived after a thorough analysis of the related GSD literature. We have implemented the question framework in the so-called Global Architect tool. Based on the answers provided to the questions of the question framework, the tool automatically derives the related instance of the meta-model and, as such, provides the application architecture. The question framework and the tool can be used to analyze different alternatives of application architecture for GSD projects.
