Call for Workshops
11th Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA) provides a unique forum for researchers and practitioners to present and discuss the latest R&D outcomes, experiences, trends, and challenges in the field of software architecture.
Workshops provide a forum to discuss topics of rising interest in software architecture and may be half-day or one-day events. Workshops will be held before the main conference.
Workshops are responsible for submission and selection of papers. Submissions must follow the ACM proceedings format, as workshop proceedings will be published by ACM Digital Library. Workshop organizers may allow for different types of contributions (e.g., short and long papers), but a workshop paper should not exceed a maximum of 8 pages in ACM format (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).
Proposal Submission
Proposals must not exceed four pages and must be submitted electronically in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) to Liming.Zhu@nicta.com.au.
Proposals should include (but not limited to):
- Title

- Further elaboration on connection with WICSA and other similar events if needed
- Workshop format plan (including preference of one-day or half-day)

Evaluation Criteria
Workshop proposals will be reviewed in a separate evaluation process from research papers. Acceptance will be based on:
- Evaluation of the workshop’s potential to advance the state of software architecture research and/or practice
- Timeliness and expected interest in the topic
- Organizers’ ability to lead a successful workshop
- Balancing and synergies with other WICSA events
