It is no longer possible to submit papers for Wicsa 3.

Papers should describe original and significant work on the research and practice of software and system architectures. Papers are limited to 15 proceedings pages. 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.

Please use the pdf format for your documents. Asian authors, please do not use asian fonts as these may prevent us from printing your document. The pdf format is the least likely to give us any problems when we try to print it.

We are using cyberchair to collect the papers and automate the review process. Since this is the first time we use cyberchair, we kindly request you to keep all mail generated by cyberchair as well as any information you submit available for backup purposes.

Templates for formatting your document can be found here.

Please go to the cyberchair submission site for paper submissions.

Please send suggestions for workshops to WICSA3 AT cs.rug.nl before the closing date of submissions. Tutorial proposals should be emailed to Nenad Medvidovic (neno AT usc.edu).
