MeSSa 2017 - 4th International Workshop on Measurability of Security in
Software Architectures
http://www.vtt.fi/messa2017

Security measurement of software architectures is needed to produce
sufficient evidence of security level as early as in the design phase.
Security at system and network level has received much attention but the
role of software architecture in security has received little
consideration. Yet it is increasingly important in the overall picture,
requiring sets of design patterns, measurements, metrics, best practices,
and means to integrate this cost-effectively in the overall design and
operational profiles.

Organisers:
Reijo Savola, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Finland
Habtamu Abie, Norwegian Computing Center, Norway
Teemu KanstrÈn, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Finland

Important dates:
* Paper submission: June 23, 2017
* Acceptance Notification: July 17, 2017
* Camera Ready version: July 28, 2017
* Workshop day:  please refer the ECSA main conference program

CASA 2017 - Workshop on Context-aware, Autonomous and Smart Architecture
https://casa2017.github.io/CASA-ECSA2017/

The aim of ECSA 2017 Workshop on Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart
Architectures (CASA) is to address the issues and challenges raised by the
design, implementation, and evaluation of software systems characterized by
the above-mentioned keywords. Novel design and development approaches are
needed to face the new issues raised by such systems. New solutions are
expected to address properly the trade-offs among the various quality
attributes characterizing these systems. Or, existing architectural
solutions should be adapted and improved to meet the evolving and dynamic
requirements of context-aware, autonomous, and smart systems.

Organisers:
Claudia Raibulet, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy
Maria Grazia Fugini, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
Khalil Drira, LAAS-CNRS, UniversitÈ de Toulouse, France
Patrizio Pelliccione, Chalmers University of Technology and University of
Gothenburg, Sweden

Important dates:
* Paper submission: June 23, 2017
* Acceptance Notification: July 17, 2017
* Camera Ready version: July 24, 2017
* Workshop day: please refer the ECSA main conference program

SAGRA 2017 - 3rd Workshop on Sustainable Architecture: Global
Collaboration, Requirements, Analysis (SAGRA)
https://sagra2017.wordpress.com/

The goal of the ECSA 2017 SAGRA workshop is to develop a future vision and
roadmap of sustainable software architecture, focusing especially on
requirements engineering and methodological analysis, as well as on
collaborative and intercultural aspects. Designing a sustainable software
architecture is a non-trivial task, especially in the case of large scale
and/or long-living systems. The task becomes even more complicated when we
take into account collaborative and intercultural aspects of the software
development, requirements traceability and big data management.
Practitioners require architecture metrics that support sustainable
software architectures reflecting quality attributes such as
maintainability, extensibility, reliability, integrity, etc.

Organisers:
Heinz Schmidt, RMIT University, Australia
Maria Spichkova, RMIT University, Australia
Catia Trubiani, Gran Sasso Science Institute, Italy

Important dates:
* Paper submission: June 11, 2017
* Acceptance Notification: July 14, 2017
* Camera Ready version: July 25, 2017
* Workshop day: please refer the ECSA main conference program

ISSA 2017 - International Workshop on Interplay of Security, Safety and
System/Software Architecture (ISSA)
http://www.irit.fr/issa

The overall objective of the ECSA 2017 ISSA workshop is to present
significant information dealing with the issue of reusing security and
safety mechanisms in software systems. Special emphasis will be devoted to
promote discussion and interaction between researchers and practitioners
focused on the particularly challenging task to efficiently integrate
security and safety solutions within the restricted available design space
for software systems. Furthermore, one important focus is on the potential
benefits of the combination of model-driven engineering, formal methods
with pattern-based representation of security and safety solutions.

Organisers:
Brahim Hamid. University of Toulouse, France
Uwe Zdun. University of Vienna, Austria
Carsten Rudolph. University of Monash, Australia

Important dates:
* Paper submission: June 23, 2017
* Acceptance Notification: July 17, 2017
* Camera Ready version: July 28, 2017
* Workshop day:  please refer the ECSA main conference program

SAEroCon - The 4th Workshop on Software Architecture Erosion and
Architectural Consistency
https://saerocon.wordpress.com/

The  goal of ECSA 2017 SAEroCon workshop is to intensify the exchange of
ideas regarding the current state-of-the-art/the state-of-the-practice and
future research directions regarding architecture consistency, architecture
recovery and restoration and ways to prevent and mitigate against
architecture erosion. Technical challenges related to these problems are
the recovery of intended architectures, particularly for legacy systems
without documented intended architecture prone to erosion; detection of
erosion, drift, and inconsistencies; and avoiding or resolving the results
of these effects efficiently. The workshop will host ìhands-onî
architecting sessions in which architects of open source system will
interact with researchers and tools to derive/recover architectural views
of their systems.

Organisers:
Jim Buckley, Lero/University of Limerick, Ireland
Sebastian Herold, Karlstad University, Sweden
Leo Pruijt, HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, The Netherlands

Important dates:
* Paper submission: June 20, 2017
* Acceptance Notification: July 19, 2017
* Camera Ready version: July 28, 2017
* Workshop day:  please refer the ECSA main conference program

SoftIoT 2017 - 1st International Workshop on Software Engineering for
Internet of Things
http://www4.in.tum.de/~gerostat/softiot2017/

The goal of ECSA 2017 SoftIoT workshop is to make a step forward in better
understanding the important challenges and the untapped opportunities in so
ware engineering for Internet of Things (IoT). We intend to do so by
bringing together IoT experts (working primarily on IoT- specific topics
such as connectivity, energy-efficiency, virtualization) and software
engineers and architects who work on novel architectural abstractions,
methods, and development processes applicable to the highly dynamic and
opportunistic IoT domain. We expect that such synergy will lead to
insightful discussionsóand possibly some new and impactful solution
concepts.

Organisers:
Ilias Gerostathopoulos, Technical University Munich, Germany
Christian Prehofer, fortiss GmbH, Germany
Klaus Moessner, University of Surrey, UK

Important dates:
* Paper submission: June 23, 2017
* Acceptance Notification: July 17, 2017
* Camera Ready version: July 28, 2017
* Workshop day:  please refer the ECSA main conference program
