Welcome to the Software Architecture Portal, website of IFIP Working Group 2.10 on Software Architecture, part of TC 2, SOFTWARE: Theory and Practice. The portal provides information about IFIP WG 2.10, the WICSA conference series, the Software Architecture Village wiki, and other resources on software architecture.
WICSA/ECSA 2012, the joint 10th Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture and 6th European Conference on Software Architecture, is scheduled for 20–24 August 2012, in Helsinki, FINLAND.
WICSA 2011, the 9th Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture, was held 20–24 June 2011, Boulder, CO USA. Co-located with CompArch: Federated events in component-based software engineering and software architecture.
The 1st International Workshop on Variability in Software Architecture (VARSA 2011) aimed at identifying critical challenges and progressing the state-of-the-art on variability in software architecture by exploring current and emerging methods, languages, notations, technologies and tools to model, implement, and manage variability at the software architecture level. Co-located with the 9th Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture, 20 June 2011, Boulder, Colorado, USA.
The Workshop on Variability in Software Product Line Architectures (VARI-ARCH) aims to bring together researchers from the software product line community and software architecture community to identify critical challenges and progress the state-of-the-art on variability in software product line architectures.
Co-located with The 4th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2010), Copenhagen, Denmark, August 23–26, 2010
IEEE Software announces a special issue on "Software Architecture: Framing Stakeholders' Concerns". Architects must identify and manage a variety of architectural concerns to devise a successful architecture. This special issue is seeking papers on architecture viewpoints, architecture frameworks and architecture models and architecture description languages for identifying and modeling concerns. Publication date: Nov/Dec 2010
The Fifth Workshop on SHAring and Reusing architectural Knowledge (SHARK 2010) asks the community to discuss and contribute on how to reorganize and codify the Body of Knowledge of the WICSA community (WICSA BOK).
In conjunction with the 32nd International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2010), Cape Town, South Africa. 2 May 2010.
The 8th Working International Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA) and the 3rd European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) were merged for 2009 to provide a unique forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the latest R&D outcomes, experiences, trends, and challenges in the field of software architecture. WICSA/ECSA 2009: 14–17 September 2009, in Cambridge, UK.
Visit the WICSA wiki for summaries and discussions of the sessions.
