Software design and architecture is an important ingredient in software development, which links the problem to solution domains. Many processes, approaches, and techniques have been proposed to support this activity. Design is essentially a mental activity which is largely undertaken by an individual or a group of designers (e.g., architects in software architecting) with related stakeholders by considering various contexts and intertwined constraints. The intention of design in software development is to balance the quality and costs, which finally achieves a sustainable software design. This is challenging when software-intensive systems are developed with the increasing complexity and emerging development processes. The WETSoDA 2017 workshop (co-located with APSEC 2017) aims to provide researchers and practitioners an international forum to discuss the issues and challenges on the emerging trends in software design and architecture.
Submission Guidelines
We seek research and experience from both academia and industry that address the questions like:
- What is the state-of-the-practice of software design and architecting methods?
- How do software design and architecture address the emerging and evolving software driven world?
- What are the challenges of adopting software design and architecting methods in practice?
- What are the limitations and opportunities of the existing methods in software design and architecting?
To be specific, the workshop’s topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Software design and architecture in emerging development process, e.g., DevOps and Continuous Delivery;
- Economics and sustainability in software design and architecting;
- Software design and architecture in emerging areas, e.g., IOT, CPS, self-driving cars;
- Social, organizational, and human dimensions in software and architecture design;
- Variability and complexity in software and architecture design;
- Automated refactoring and evolution at the design or architecture level;
- Integration between design, architecting, and coding;
- Metrics, measurement, evaluation, optimization, and their values in software and architecture design; and value of software architecture;
- The skills and training of software designers and architects;
- The role of designers and architects in an agile, lean, and Cloud-centric world;
- The interaction and collaboration between industry and academia in software and architecture design.
