ICSA 2022 tutorials provide a valuable opportunity for conference participants to expand their knowledge and skills in specific software architecture topics. Tutorials will be held before or after the main ICSA 2022 conference in half-day or full-day sessions (between March 12-15, 2022).

Publication

Lecturers of accepted tutorials will be invited to write a tutorial description of 2-4 pages, which will be published in ICSA 2022 Companion proceedings and appear in IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

Submission Instructions

Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by a small subset of the main conference’s program committee. Acceptance will be based on:

  • Evaluation of the tutorial’s interest to the community (research and/or practice)
  • Timeliness and expected interest in the topic
  • Organizer’s ability to lead a successful tutorial
  • Balance and synergy with other ICSA 2022 events

Important Considerations

  • Tutorial lecturers need to register for the conference and attend it to give the tutorial
  • If the number of tutorial registrations is lower than 5 by DATE , then the conference organizers reserve the right to cancel the tutorial
  • Tutorials will be run in a hybrid mode of face-to-face and online simultaneously onsite
