• Software tools and environments for architecture-centric software engineering
• Cultural, economic, business, social and managerial aspects of software architecture
• Industrial applications, case studies, best practices, and experience reports
• Empirical studies, systematic literature reviews and mapping studies in software architecture.

Paper Submissions

For the research track, ECSA 2019 encourages submission of papers describing basic and applied research, novel applications and experience papers on all topics related to software architectures. ECSA 2019 seeks four types of papers for the research track:

• Research 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 it has been possibly validated).

• Industrial papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) which describe lessons learned, best practices from enterprise-scale industry projects and significant experiences gained from deploying or trialing a particular method, approach, or tool related to any topic of software architecture. 

• Education and training papers (max. 16 pages in LNCS style) that address experiences and best practices in teaching and training of software architecture.

• Short papers (max. 8 pages in LNCS style) that present promising preliminary results from work-in-progress or challenges in a topic of software architecture research or education and training software architectures (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. Papers will be selected based on originality, quality, soundness, and relevance. All contributions must be original, not published, accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Submission

Authors should consult Springer’s authors’ guidelines and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a Consent-to-Publish form, through which the copyright for their paper is transferred to Springer. The corresponding author signing the copyright form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot be made.

Springer’s proceedings LaTeX templates are available in Overleaf

Contributions should be submitted using the online submission site: EasyChair ECSA 2019 Main Conference.
