SCOPE

The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European software architecture conference, providing researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to present and discuss the most recent, innovative and significant findings and experiences in the field of software architecture research and practice. The conference will feature a research track, an industrial track, keynotes, workshops, tutorials, tool demonstrations, and panels.

TOPICS

For the research track, the program committee of ECSA 2015 seeks submissions of papers describing basic and applied research, novel applications and experience reports on all topics related to software architectures including, but not limited to:

Linking requirements engineering and software architectures
Quality attributes and software architectures
Architectural design, analysis and evaluation
Architecture description languages and metamodels
Architecture verification and validation
Management of architectural knowledge, decisions, and design rationale
Architectural patterns, styles and tactics, reference architectures
Architecture viewpoints and views
Architecture conformance
Architecture-based synthesis, code generation
Architecture transformation and refinement
Architecture refactoring and reengineering, reverse engineering
Architecture-based evolution
Architectures for reconfigurable and self-adaptive systems

Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web services
Architectures for ultra-large scale, long-lived systems and systems-of-systems
Software architecture and the cloud
Software architecture and big data
Architectures for cyber-physical systems
Architectural concerns of autonomic systems
Architecture-centric process models and frameworks
Software architecture and agility
Architecture-centric model driven engineering
Component-based models and deployment, middleware
Software tools and environments for architecture-centric software engineering
Industrial applications, case studies, best practices and experience reports
Empirical studies, systematic literature reviews and mapping studies in software architecture.

SUBMISSIONS

ECSA 2015 seeks two types of submissions to foster the active participation of researchers and practitioners:

Full research papers and Experience papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) which describe novel contributions to software architecture research (submissions should cover work that has a sound scientific/technological basis and has been validated).
Short papers (max. 8 pages in LNCS style) which present promising preliminary results from work-in-progress or research challenges in a topic of software architecture research (submissions should cover work that has a sound basis, but perhaps has not been validated in full).

All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer review process, and be selected based on originality, quality, soundness and relevance. All accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer-Verlag as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. In addition, authors of best papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers for a special Issue on “New Frontiers in Software Architecture” in the Journal on Systems and Software.

The submissions should be prepared using the Springer LNCS style and submitted via: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsa2015

DATES
