First International Workshop on Establishing a Community-Wide Infrastructure for Architecture-Based Software Engineering (ECASE 2017)

May 20, 2017, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Call for Papers :

Software architecture plays an important role in facilitating the maintenance of a software system. Over the past two decades, software architecture research has yielded many different tools and techniques for understanding and maintaining the architectures of large, complex software systems. However, empirical research and technology transfer are impeded by myriad disjoint research and development environments, lack of a shared infrastructure, high initial costs associated with developing robust tools, and a lack of datasets needed to conduct empirical research in this domain.

Topics of Interest

• Positions on the requirements, design, construction, and maintenance of a community-wide infrastructure for empirical research in architecture-based maintenance.
• Designs and approaches that directly support interoperability, replicability, and reusability of architecture-based tools.
• Experiences, case studies, or empirical studies of software architectures that result in artifacts in the form of baselines, datasets, and benchmarks that can be included in a community-owned repository or infrastructure.
• Experiences or evaluations of existing software-architecture tools and how they can enable empirical research in the area of software architecture.
• Replication studies describing results, challenges faced as part of the studies, and lessons learned.
• Assessment techniques and metrics for evaluating empirical research in software architecture
• Development and sharing of tools that support various informational and processing needs (e.g., visualization of interactions among architectural and requirements knowledge).

Important Dates

• Paper submission: January 20, 2017
• Notifications sent: February 17, 2017
• Deadline for paper camera ready: February 27, 2017
• The date ECASE will be held: May 22, 2017
