ECSA 2019 Call for Workshops

Scope and Goal

The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is a leading 
forum for presenting and discussing software architecture research and 
practice. ECSA 2019 workshops, to be held on 9thand 10thof September 
(right before the main conference on 11th- 13thSeptember), are to serve 
as collaborative forums for researchers to exchange and explore 
innovative software architecture (scientific or engineering) ideas and 
challenges at an early stage. Topics of interests may include but not 
limited to:

  *

    Software Architecture challenges for AI- and ML-based Systems

  *

    Software Architecture challenges for Self-Adaptive Systems

  *

    Software Architecture challenges for Cyber-Physical Systems

  *

    Software Architecture challenges in Big Data and Cloud Computing

  *

    Software Architecture challenges in IoT-based Systems

  *

    Software Architecture challenges in DevOPS

  *

    Software Architecture challenges in Blockchain Engineering

  *

    Quality-of-service (QoS) measurements of Software Architectures

  *

    Privacy and Security in Software Architectural Design

  *

    Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart Architectures

  *

    Sustainability in Software Architectures

  *

    Software Architecture Erosion and Architectural Consistency
