             *** CALL FOR WORKSHOP SUBMISSIONS ***
                      ICSA 2019
       IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture
                      March 25-29, 2019
                      Hamburg, Germany
           http://icsa-conferences.org/2019/
    
    ICSA 2019 workshops provide a unique forum for researchers and
    practitioners to present, learn, discuss and explore the latest
    experiences, challenges, trends and emerging R&D results in the field of
    software architecture. A workshop is not a mini-conference. The goal of
    workshops is to provide a forum for participants to engage in intensive
    discussion and explore the topic from different perspectives.
    Workshops can be half-day or one-day events. Potential topics for
    workshops are the same as, but not limited to, those of the ICSA 2019
    Technical track.
    Workshop chairs are responsible for submission and selection of papers.
    Submissions must follow the IEEE Computer Science proceedings format, as
    workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE CS 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 IEEE format.

    workshop (e.g., open research problems to pursue, validation objectives,
