Montreal, August 25-31

Welcome to the homepage of the third Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA). WICSA 3 will be held from August 25 until August 31 2002 in Montreal. The conference will be co-hosted with the World Computer Congres (WCC), of which Wicsa 3 is Stream 2 in the WCC program.

WICSA 3 is the third international conference devoted entirely to Software Architecture. Its purpose is to bring together software engineering practitioners and researchers from industry and academia to exchange experiences, results and ideas related to all aspects of software architecture. Its mission is to become the premier conference on architectural issues in software system design, development and maintenance, for both practitioners and academics. We are currently soliciting papers, proposals for sessions, and tutorials from academia and industry.
