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

- 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

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
