Call For Papers
Nowadays Software Architecture is a
consolidated and necessary discipline centered on the idea of
reducing complexity in software development and evolution
through abstraction and separation of concerns. Designing
software architectures that enable provisioning and evolution
of functional requirements and exhibit a good tradeoff between
multiple quality attributes (or extra-functional requirements)
is hard and still challenging. At the same time having
adaptable software architectures able to change their topology
and behavior to overcome certain environmental situations is
still under analysis in different domains especially when they
are used to realize complex and distributed systems (i.e.,
systems of systems). The goal of the track SA-TTA is to bring
together researchers and industry R&D having the common
objective of transforming Software Architecture into a mature
discipline leveraging on both solid scientific foundations and
validated engineering methodologies and tools. SA-TTA is
focused broadly on how to address functional requirements and
quality characteristics in the design, maintenance, and
adaptation and evolution of software architectures through the
support of automated techniques and tools. Of special interest
are architecture description languages, formalisms,
techniques, methodologies, tools, and runtime environments
that support these activities, possibly exploiting
model-driven engineering principles. A special emphasis will
be put also on technical aspects of software architectures
development for specific class of software systems and
application domains.
The SA-TTA track seeks to attract scholars, researchers,
engineers, and practitioners interested in Applied
Software Architecture, namely a special emphasis will be
put on practical engineering concerns, experiences in tools
development, and applications of Software Architecture.
