Workshops

13th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) - 9-13 September 2019, Paris France

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 9th and 10th of September (right before the main conference on 11th- 13th September), 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
