Kurzfassung This thesis presents the Addar platform to address the orphaned commits problem in the architectural design decision recovery component, RecovAr, of the prominent ARCADE suite. The problem emerged as the most severe after an analysis of the key limitations of existing design decision recovery tools. A novel way to reintroduce commits orphaned by a design decision is provided: the Architecture Impact Group. Two additional subgoals of this work are to improve evaluation possibilities in recovery systems and to reduce the over-reliance of such systems on the quality of repository maintenance. To address these, local Git-based implementations of necessary functionality were conceived, and detailed analysis reports were integrated.
