With the advent of software and electronics, automotive companies are enablinginnovation to improve safety, security, driver experience, and driving automation.Moreover, the complexity and size of software keep growing because of future innovations,such as lane-keeping, self-learning algorithms, and automated driving,which all lead to the ultimate goal of autonomously driving vehicles. Consequently,the increasing use of software introduced the paradigm shift by requiring automotivecompanies to develop their systems using architecture and model-basedtechniques. Although model-based techniques, e.g. MATLAB/Simulink and Stateflow,are being accepted in the automotive industry as standard languages andtools for developing automotive control software, system and software architecturetechniques are still far from being widely accepted. This excludes the AUTOSARstandard, which defines the language for designing and configuring automotivesoftware architectures and identifies major architectural components ofautomotive systems.
This workshop aims to address issues related to the appropriate automotive system/software architecture and engineering techniques, which the automotive industrycan accept. Therefore, to bring together researchers and practitioners inautomotive system/software architecture and engineering, the International Workshopon Automotive System/Software Architectures (WASA) is being organizedwith the International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA), the premier internationalsoftware architecture conference.
Submission Guidelines
All submissions are expected to be original work not published, or in submission, elsewhere, and will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the program committee for quality, relevance, and novelty. Submissions will only be accepted if the majority of the reviewers give a positive evaluation.
Papers can be submitted in the following categories:
- Full papers (max. 8 pages in IEEE Computer Science proceedings format) presenting novel research ideas, significant empirical studies, successful industrial applications, or important perspectives.
- Industrial papers (max. 6 pages in IEEE Computer Science proceedings format) sharing industrial experience, challenges, research or technical problems, case studies
- Position or future trend papers (max. 4 pages in IEEE Computer Science proceedings format) raising new ideas, challenges, ongoing research or early research results, and future trends.
