Call for Papers: Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA'2001)

WICSA2001: The Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture
Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
August 28 – 31, 2001

WICSA 2001 is the first joint IEEE/IFIP conference devoted entirely to Software Architecture. Its purpose is to bring together software engineers in industry and academia to interact and to discuss all aspects of software achitecture. Its mission is to become the premier conference on architectural issues in software system design, development and maintenance, both for practitioners and academics. We are currently soliciting papers, proposals for sessions, and tutorials from academia and industry.

Papers

Topics of interest for WICSA 2001 include but are not restricted to:

Paper Submission

Papers should describe original and significant work on the research and practice of software and system architectures. Papers are limited to 10 proceedings pages, at most 8000 words. Papers must not have been previously published nor have been submitted to, or be in consideration for, any journal, book, or other conference. All papers should explicitly state the goals of systems or approaches described, discuss relationships to previous work and should use accepted, standard terminology. Full paper submission guidelines can be found on the web site.

Special Sessions, Tutorials, Workshops

Proposals for special sessions, tutorials, and workshops will be welcome. Please send suggestions to WICSA2001@cs.vu.nl before the closing date of submissions. See the web site for full details.

Important Dates

Deadline for papers/proposals: February 1, 2001

Notification of acceptance: March 28, 2001

Camera ready copies due: April 28, 2001

Conference Committee

General Chairs: Philippe Kruchten, Chris Verhoef

Program Co-Chairs: Rick Kazman, Hans van Vliet
