1st International Workshop on the Social and Organizational Dimensions of Software Architecting (SODA 2017)
April 04, 2017, Gothenburg, Sweden
Call for Papers:
Software architecting is about making decisions that have system-wide impact and that shape software product and process alike. While researchers and practitioners have tried to define and scope the role of the architect, social and organizational impacts on the architect and the architecting process are often neglected. The social aspects and the role of different players in the software development process have been previously examined within the broader context of software engineering (e.g., the CHASE and CSD workshop series at ICSE). The SODA workshop on the other hand focuses on the social and organizational dimensions in which architects produce their outputs. Also, in contrast to other venues, SODA focuses on the architect in the surrounding organization, and the process rather than on the architecture as the output of the architecting process. SODA aims at offering a venue for researchers, practitioners and educators within the software architecture domain to jointly discuss experiences, forge new collaborations, and explore innovative solutions in this area. This initial edition of the workshop focuses on two aspects related to the role of the software architect: (1) tasks performed and skills required from architects; (2) the wider social and organizational contexts of the architect.
- Skills of architects, including evidence for their relevance and impact on project success and product quality
- Impact of experience on how architects perform tasks
- Tasks and skills of architects and their relation to tasks and skills of other roles (e.g., developers)
- Role of the architect in highly iterative/incremental development (e.g., continuous delivery, DevOps)
- Personality and personality traits of architects, in particular in their social and organizational context
- Socio-technical and organizational relationships of architects at the crossroads of organization, architecture and social development networks
- Social and organizational pitfalls and conflicts of interests faced by architects (and how to handle them)
- Community smells in organizational context
- Social-technical project cost and social debt
- Job performance of architects, evaluation and assessment of architects and their skills and skill level
- Implications of skills and social/organizational context on tertiary education/professional training and career paths of architects
