| WS1: Workshop on Automotive Software Architectures (WASA) - 09:00-17:30 |
|---|
| Room: Kelvin |
| Organizers: Andreas Vogelsang, Harald Altinger, Miroslaw Staron, Yanja Dajsuren, Yaping Luo | With the advent of software and electronics, automotive companies are enabling innovation to improve safety, driver experience, and fuel efficiency. Increasing use of software over the years, introduced the paradigm shift by requiring automotive companies to develop their systems using architecture and model-based techniques. Although model-based techniques using e.g. MATLAB/Simulink and Stateflow are being accepted in the automotive industry as standard languages and tooling for developing automotive control software, the techniques for system and software architecture are still far from being widely accepted except from the AUTOSAR standard, which is used to create the software for the ECUs. The goal of this workshop is to address issues related to the appropriate automotive system/software architecture and engineering techniques, which can be accepted by the automotive industry. Therefore, to bring together researchers and practitioners in the area of automotive system/software architecture and engineering, the international Workshop on Automotive Software Architectures (WASA) is being organized with the International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA), the premier gathering of software architecture and component based software engineering practitioners and researchers.

| WS2: Workshop on Architecting with MicroServices (AMS) - 09:00-17:30 |
|---|
| Room: Tesla |
| Organizers: Patricia Lago, Joost Bosman | Netflix, Amazon, The Guardian and other companies have evolved their applications towards the promising and challenging style of microservice architectures (MSAs). MSA arises from the broader area of Service Oriented Architecture and focuses on specific aspects, such as componentization of small services, application of agile practices for development, deployment and testing of services, usage of infrastructure automation with continuous delivery features, decentralized data management and decentralized service governance.
The goal of AMS 2017 is to gather researchers and practitioners to share challenges, solutions, and reflections on the frontiers of architecting with microservices. AMS 2017 will solicit contributions from both academic and industrial participants, thus fostering active synergy between the two communities. Website: https://ams2017.github.io/ |
| TUT1: How to Evaluate Software Architectures - 09:00-17:30 |
|---|
| Room: Aktiviteten |
| Organizers: Jens Knodel and Mathias Naab |
| Thorough and continuous architecting is the key to overall success in software engineering, and architecture evaluation is a crucial part of it. This tutorial presents a pragmatic architecture evaluation approach and insights gained from its application in more than 75 projects with industrial customers in the past decade. It presents context factors, empirical data, and example cases, as well as lessons learned on mitigating the risk of change through architecture evaluation. By providing comprehensive answers to many typical questions and discussing lessons learned, the tutorial allows the audience to not only learn how to conduct architecture evaluations and interpret its results, but also to become aware of risks such as false conclusions, manipulating data, and unsound lines of argument. The target audience includes both practitioners and researchers. It encourages practitioners to conduct architecture evaluations. At the same time, it offers researchers insights into industrial architecture evaluations, which can inspire future research directions. |
| TUT2 - ThingML: A Generative Approach to Engineer Heterogeneous and Distributed Systems - 09:00-12:30 |
|---|
| Room: Newton |
| Organizers: Franck Fleurey and Brice Morin |
| Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) typically rely on a highly heterogeneous interconnection of platforms and devices offering a diversity of complementary capabilities: from cloud server with their virtually unlimited resources to tiny microcontrollers supporting the connection to the physical world. This tutorial presents ThingML, a tool-supported Model-Driven Software Engineering (MDSE) approach targeting the heterogeneity and distribution challenges associated with the development of CPS. ThingML is based on a domain specific modelling languages integrating state-of-the-art concepts for modeling distributed systems, and comes with a set of compilers targeting a large set of platforms and communication protocols. ThingML has been iteratively elaborated over the past years based on a set of experiences and projects aiming at applying the state of the art in MDSE in practical contexts and with different industry partners. |
| TUT3: Language Engineering with The GEMOC Studio - 14:00-17:30 |
|---|
| Room: Demo Studio |
| Organizers: Olivier Barais, Benoît Combemale and Andreas Wortmann | This tutorial provides a practical approach for developing and integrating various Domain-Specific (modeling) Languages (DSLs) used in the development of modern complex software-intensive systems, with the main objective to support abstraction and separation of concerns. The tutorial leverages on the tooling provided by the GEMOC studio to present the various facilities offered by the Eclipse platform (incl., EMF/Ecore, Xtext, Sirius). Then the tutorial introduces the advanced features of the GEMOC Studio to extend a DSL with a well-defined execution semantics, possibly including formal concurrency constraints and coordination patterns. From such a specification, we demonstrate the ability of the studio to automatically support model execution, graphical animation, omniscient debugging, concurrency analysis and concurrent execution of heterogeneous models. The tutorial is composed of both lectures and hands-on sessions. Hands-on sessions allow participants to experiment on a concrete use case of an architecture description language used to coordinate heterogeneous behavioral and structural components. |

| WS3: Workshop on Engineering IoT Systems: Architectures, Services, Applications, and Platforms - 09:00-17:30 |
|---|
| Room: Tesla |
| Organizers: Romina Spalazzese, Marie Christin Platenius, Steffen Becker, Gregor Engels | The Internet of Things (IoT) includes billions of heterogeneous, distributed, and intelligent things – both from the digital and the physical worlds– running applications and services from the Internet of Services (IoS). Things span, for instance, RFID tags, sensors, computers, plants, lamps, autonomous robots, and self-driving vehicles. Often, things are connected through heterogeneous platforms also providing support for, e.g., data collection, management, and applications deployment. Additionally, things can offer their functionalities as (web) services facilitating their dynamic interaction. A key aspect of engineering IoT systems is their architecture and a wide range of challenges needs to be addressed both at design and run-time. For instance: heterogeneity, adaptability, reusability, interoperability, uncertainty, security, and privacy while also taking into account the human in the loop bringing needs on the systems’ functionalities and qualities. Novel software architecture principles are needed to overcome these challenges for IoT systems. The objective of IoT-ASAP, International Workshop on Engineering IoT systems: Architectures, Services, Applications, and Platforms, is to bring together researchers and practitioners from several areas (e.g., Architecture, Internet of Things (IoT), Service-Oriented Computing, Self-Adaptive Systems, Multi-Agent Systems, User Interaction and Experience) to investigate and discuss state of-the-art, principles, challenges of, and (interdisciplinary) approaches for, engineering IoT systems.

| WS4: Workshop on decision Making in Software ARCHitecture (MARCH) - 09:00-17:30 |
|---|
| Room: Kelvin |
| Organizers: Maryam Razavian, Antony Tang, Hans van Vliet, Jan Carlson | Traditionally, software architecture is seen as the result of the software architecture design process, the solution, usually represented by a set of components and connectors. Recently, the “why” of the solution, the set of design decisions made by the software architect, is complementing or even replacing the solution-oriented definition of software architecture. Till now, most of the research around software architecture design decisions focused on capturing the design decisions.
The focus of the present workshop, MARCH, is on the process of making software architecture design decisions. In this workshop, we seek to explore and understand the decision making process, how different factors influence the quality of software architecture decisions, and ways to assure good software architecture decision making. Decision making research is an emerging field in software engineering and software architecture. Research papers that explore how to study decision making are relevant in this workshop. Understanding decision making process can be based on multiple scientific disciplines such as work and organizational psychology, cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and human computer interaction. Therefore we encourage interdisciplinary research papers that leverage and build upon the existing knowledge in the neighboring research fields. Website: http://is.ieis.tue.nl/research/bpm/MARCH16/ |
| WS5: Workshop on the Social and Organizational Dimensions of Software Architecting (SODA) - 09:00-12:30 |
|---|
| Room: Aktiviteten |
| Organizers: Matthias Galster, Rick Kazman, Damian A. Tamburri | Software architecting is about making decisions that have system-wide impact and that shape the software product and the development process. 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 and 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.

| WS6: SWEBoK Evolution: Software Architecture Workshop (SESAW) [Now Birds of a Feather (Friday, 13:30-15:00)] |
|---|
| Organizers: Rich Hilliard and Steve Schwarm | OBS.: The SESAW workshop has become a Birds of a Feather session to be held on Friday, 13:30-15:00. Website: http://www.mit.edu/~richh/SWEBoK-evolution/SESAW/ |
| TUT5 - Discover Quality Requirements with the Mini-QAW - 09:00-12:30 |
|---|
| Room: Newton |
| Organizer: Thijmen de Gooijer | Good quality requirements help you to make the right architectural decisions but collecting your requirements is not always easy. The Quality Attribute Workshop (QAW) helps teams effectively gather requirements but can be costly and cumbersome to organize. The mini-QAW is a short (a few hours to a full day) workshop designed for inexperienced facilitators and a great fit for teams practicing Agile methods. Variants of the mini-QAW exist for both face-to-face and remote collaboration. The mini-QAW method has been used successfully by several groups throughout the world. It is finding its place as a standard tool among many software architects. During this session we will walk participants through a mini-QAW simulation. By the end of the session participants will have learned about and applied some of the core mini-QAW activities including scenario brainstorming using a “system properties web”, creating stakeholder empathy maps, and visual voting. The mini-QAW combines these activities with a tuned agenda (compared to the traditional QAW) to create a fast, effective, and fun workshop many teams can easily adopt and succeed with. By the end of the session participants will have gained first-hand experience facilitating and participating in the workshop that will let them use the method with their teams back home. |
| TUT6 - Architectural Runtime Modeling and Visualization for Quality-Aware DevOps in Cloud Applications - 09:00-17:30 |
|---|
| Room: Demo Studio |
| Organizers: Robert Heinrich, Christian Zirkelbach and Reiner Jung | Cloud-based software applications are designed to change during operations to provide constant quality of service. This leads to increasing blurring of the boundary between development and operations. In this tutorial, we present approaches to address gaps between architectural modeling in development and operations and thus allow for phase-spanning usage of architectural models. The foundation is maintaining the semantic relationships between monitoring outcomes and architectural models. We discuss the integration of development models, code generation, monitoring, runtime model updates, as well as adaptation candidate generation and execution. We describe the combination of descriptive and prescriptive architectural models to improve the communication and collaboration between operators and developers. The consideration of static and dynamic content in architectural models supports operation-level analysis and adaptations. Furthermore, we present different architectural runtime model visualizations, which allow detecting the above mentioned gaps for development on the one hand and for operating on the other hand. |
| TUT7 - Strategic Management of Technical Debt - 14:00-17:30 |
|---|
| Room: Newton |
| Organizer: Philippe Kruchten | The technical debt metaphor acknowledges that software development teams sometimes accept compromises in a system in one dimension (for example, modularity) to meet an urgent demand in some other dimension (for example, a deadline), and that such compromises incur a “debt”. If not properly managed the interest on this debt may continue to accrue, severely hampering system stability and quality and impacting the team’s ability to deliver enhancements at a pace that satisfies business needs. Although unmanaged debt can have disastrous results, strategically managed debt can help businesses and organizations take advantage of time-sensitive opportunities, fulfill market needs and acquire stakeholder feedback. Because architecture has such leverage within the overall development life cycle, strategic management of architectural debt is of primary importance. Some aspects of technical debt – but not all technical debt – affect product quality. This tutorial introduces the technical debt metaphor and the techniques for measuring and communicating this technical debt, integrating it fully with the software development lifecycle. |

| Conference Opening - 08:30-09:00 |
|---|
| Room: Hall |
| Keynote: Data Driven Scaling Booking.com’s Infrastructure - 09:00-10:00 | |
|---|---|
| Room: Hall | |
| Speaker: Brendan Bank (Booking.com) | Chair: Jan Bosch | Since the day Booking.com started in 1996 we have built and optimised for growth, which has taken us rapidly from a small start-up to one of the world’s leading technology companies. To keep up with this growth we have made some very explicit architecture choices early-on which proved highly effective. We can call the top computer hardware companies and they are happy to provide us with as much iron as we want. However finding talented, data driven engineers is much more difficult. For the technology teams to keep up with our business growth, we needed to scale our architecture and technical infrastructure much faster than what Moore’s Law could give us in terms of improvements in compute power and data storage. Our architectural focus has been not to make it “pretty” but to make it work quickly and pragmatically, following the needs of our customers which always come first. This resulted in an architecture that allowed our business to grow into one of the most successful global eCommerce companies. This keynote discusses the evolution of the Booking.com software architecture over the last 20 years, the major design decisions that we have made to support the phenomenal business growth and provides an insight into the key software architecture concerns that we face going forward. |

| Keynote: Surviving in an increasingly computerized and software driven automotive industry - 13:30-14:30 | |
|---|---|
| Room: Hall | |
| Speaker: Martin Hiller (Volvo Cars Corporation) | Chair: Marija Mikic | The automotive industry, and the car, is in for an exciting ride over the next decade. Electronics and software are the battle fields for innovation, and only players who master those areas can survive the turmoil. New players with a background in computer systems and software have clear advantages in that respect. Incumbents (all of us with a history in a more traditional mechanical background), need to quickly adapt and learn to successfully compete with those new players. The way we see it, two major transformations are imperative for our long-term survival: 1) adopting an in-vehicle electronic system that is based on an integrated computing platform (a “computer-on-wheels”) with mechatronic capabilities and 2) becoming an efficient and agile developer of high-quality software. The way we approach our software architecture will be key to succeeding in these transformations. |

| Keynote: Accelerating Change - 09:00-10:00 | |
|---|---|
| Room: Hall | |
| Speaker: Frances Paulisch (Siemens AG) | Chair: Ivica Crnkovic | The world around us is changing rapidly and has become much harder to predict. Having the right balance between traditional and more modern approaches becomes key, e.g. discipline vs. agility, up-front planning vs. more continuous approaches, and centralized vs. decentralized decision making. It is increasingly essential to enable the benefits of speed and flexibility while continuously delivering customer value and do so without compromises on quality. This keynote focuses on multiple topics, including software architecture and the right mindset, that enable us to accelerate change in our systems to keep pace in today’s dynamically changing and software-driven world. In particular they allow for a more “continuous” approach, in both development and operations (DevOps), in a broad range of industrial domains. |

| Keynote: Android Security from a Software Architectural Perspective - 09:00-10:00 | |
|---|---|
| Room: Pascal | |
| Speaker: Sam Malek (University of California, USA) | Chair: Patrizio Pelliccione | Extensive support for architecture-based software development in Android has played a key role in its success as the dominant mobile platform. Architectural constructs, such as reusable software components and domain-specific architectural styles, provisioned by the Android development framework, have dramatically improved app developer productivity, enabled the platform to overcome resource constraints, and generally contributed to the realization of a vibrant app ecosystem. In parallel with Android’s meteoric rise in popularity, however, we have been witnessing an alarming escalation in the number and sophistication of the security threats targeted at Android. In this talk, I will demonstrate how misconceived architectural principles are the root cause of a broad set of security vulnerabilities in Android. I will then describe a variety of techniques developed over the past few years to mitigate these issues. Finally, I will conclude the talk with an overview of the lessons learned and the opportunities for future research. |

Since 2004, The Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBoK Guide) has described generally accepted knowledge about software engineering across 15 knowledge areas. The current SWEBoK V3.0 (and future editions) is available as a public wiki: http://swebokwiki.org. Recognizing the role of ICSA as the premier event in Software Architecture for practitioners, educators and researchers, contributions are sought from the community as work begins on the next iteration of SWEBoK. The BoF willl provide an overview of the current revision effort and invite feedback on existing content and solicits new ideas for SWEBoK specifically related to the area of Software Architecture, including:
• user feedback, experiences, identified gaps, and lessons learned in applying SWEBoK in reference to architecture-related knowledge in industry or academic settings;
• new architecture-relevant topics for consideration, topics in need of refreshment or update;
• insights and proposals for organization of architecture-relevant knowledge in SWEBoK;
• interaction and integration with other topic areas (e.g. Requirements, Design, Deployment) and with outside sources (including standards, publications, other bodies of knowledge such as EITBoK and SEBoK); and
• enabling technologies for delivery and usage (e.g., semantic wikis, ontologies, meta data, rich media).
