<p>The IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA)
2022 is on the way! Please note that deadlines are earlier than
usual. Two reasons to submit: ICSA is A-ranked according to 2021
CORE and it will be in Honolulu!<br>

<p>Technical Track deadline is November 1st. </p>
======= Apologies for cross-posting ==========================
<p>Technical Track Call for Papers:<br>
The IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA)
is the premier gathering of practitioners and researchers
interested in software architecture, component-based software
engineering, and quality aspects of complex software systems. The
19th IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA
2022) continues the tradition of a working conference, where
researchers meet practitioners and where software architects can
explain the problems they face in their day-to-day work and try to
influence the future of the field. Interactive working sessions
will be the place where researchers meet practitioners to identify
opportunities to create the future.<br>
As the world gradually comes o
<style type="text/css">td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}</style>ut
of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments and businesses are busy
planning for economic and community recovery. The theme of ICSA
2022 is “Software Architecture and Recovery”. Dependability and
recoverability have long been quality concerns for software
architects, both in practice and in theory. ICSA 2022 will
dedicate some sessions to focus on how good Software Architecture
practice can enable and accelerate COVID-19 recovery. We are
particularly interested in soliciting papers describing novel
tools, techniques and methods that enhance software architectures
to be resilient, dependable, and recoverable. We are also looking
for software and system architecture case studies that have been
designed and developed for disaster response and recovery
purposes.<br>
We call on both researchers and practitioners for contributions
that advance our understanding of architectures in real-world
software, facilitate empirical research by making architectural
artifacts and tools publicly available, and promote replicability
of results through common datasets and benchmarks. We welcome
original papers that explore and explain the role of architecture
in current systems and future systems. This conference looks at
what can be learned from our software architecture history,
experience, studies, and best practices.<br>

Open Science Principles<br>
The ICSA conference encourages authors of research papers to
follow the principles of transparency, reproducibility, and
replicability. In particular, the conference supports the adoption
of open data and open source principles and encourages authors to
disclose data in order to increase reproducibility and
replicability. For more background information, please refer to
the Artefact Evaluation Track (AET).<br>
This year, authors of submissions to the Technical Track have an
additional choice to make, in that they either:<br>
opt to make data and/or code available; in this case, if accepted,
their paper will be automatically submitted to AET for check of
criteria, and whether badges can be assigned to the paper; or<br>
opt not to make their research artifacts and datasets accessible
to the program committee; in that case, authors are asked to
comment in their submitted paper on why this is not possible,
practical, or desirable. This statement should be present at the
end of the introduction section, and may be deleted in the final
version of the paper, if accepted. Possible reasons may involve
privacy restrictions and/or non-disclosure agreements. <br>
While sharing research artifacts is desired but not mandatory for
submission or acceptance, the program committee members may use
this information to inform their decision.<br>
Submission<br>
We solicit the submission of technical research papers that
describe original and significant results of theoretical,
empirical, conceptual, or experimental work in software
architecture. The submissions will be evaluated based on novelty,
soundness, significance / relevance, open science principles (as
outlined above), and presentation quality, in that order.<br>
All submissions must conform to the IEEE paper formatting and
submission instructions and must not exceed 10 pages for the main
text, inclusive of all figures, tables, appendices, etc. Two
additional pages containing only references are permitted. The
submissions must conform to the author instructions.<br>
Please note that ICSA 2022 will pursue a double-blind review
process for technical research papers only, therefore all
technical research paper submissions have to fulfill the
double-blind reviewing requirements. Technical research papers
submitted that disregard these review requirements will be
desk-rejected without review. For artefacts that will be published
following the open science principles (see above), we ask that
authors undertake reasonable, possibly non-exhaustive, steps to
not disclose their identity, e.g., by anonymizing author names,
handles, affiliations, and URLs. Leakage of information in
additional artefact will not lead to desk rejection. Reviewers
will be asked to treat artefacts and papers as confidential.<br>
All papers are to be submitted electronically via the EasyChair
submission system by the submission deadline, and must not have
been published before or be submitted for review elsewhere while
under consideration at ICSA.<br>
Publication<br>
All accepted technical research papers will be published in the
ICSA 2022 main proceedings, and appear in IEEE Xplore Digital
Library.<br>
Submissions that are rejected as technical research papers, but
for which reviews show a strong potential for positively
influencing the state of the art, state of practice in software
architecture, or strong potential to stimulate discussion will be
invited to submit as a short paper (up to 8 pages including
references) or a poster (poster presented at the conference +
optional 2 page summary). Short papers and 2-page summaries will
be published in the ICSA 2022 companion proceedings.<br>
Note that at least one author of an accepted contribution is
required to register and present the work at the conference.<br>
