SCOPE:

The role of software architecture in the engineering of software-
intensive applications has become more and more important and wide-
spread. Component-based and service-oriented architectures are key
to the design, development and evolution of large applications.

Following the successful workshops held in St Andrews, Scotland,
in 2004 (Springer LNCS 3527) and in Pisa, Italy, in 2005 (Springer
LNCS 3047), EWSA 2006 focuses on architecture description languages,
architectural styles, architectural models, and architecture-centric
tools for modeling, analyzing, transforming, building, and
monitoring software applications. In particular, the workshop will
concentrate on architecture-centric formalisms, technologies, and
processes for engineering applications that are dynamic, mobile,
adaptive, and/or evolvable.

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in
software architecture technology. It addresses both practical and
theoretical advances.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

TOPICS:

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- architecture description languages and metamodels,
- architectural models, patterns and styles,
- architecture analysis, validation and verification,
- architecture transformation and refinement,
- architecture-based synthesis, code generation,
- architecture-based support for reconfigurable,
   adaptive or mobile applications,
- requirements engineering and software architectures,
- quality attributes and software architectures,
- architecture reengineering, recovery,
- architecture conformance, run-time monitoring,
- architecture for autonomic systems,
- service oriented architectures,
- web services: composition, orchestration, choreography
- process and management of architectural decisions,
- process models and frameworks for architecture-centric
   software engineering,
- architecture-centric model driven engineering,
- architectural features of Model Driven Architecture (MDA),
- software tools and environments for architecture-centric software
   engineering,
- architectural styles and models for applications based on mature
   and emerging technologies (Web Services, Java/J2EE, .Net, ...)
- component-based middleware, component-based deployment,
- technology of components and component-based frameworks,
- industrial applications, case studies, best practices and
   experience reports on software architecture,
- other aspects and applications related to software architecture.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

TYPES OF PAPERS:

We seek three types of papers:
- Position papers: which present concise arguments about a topic of
software architecture research or practice (in less than 2000
words). Position papers should not be incomplete versions of full
papers.
- Full papers: which describe authors' novel research work
(motivated, presented and evaluated in less than 6000 words). Full
papers must be original contributions, not published, accepted or
submitted for publication elsewhere.
- Industrial reports: which describe real-world experiences related
to software architectures (less than 6000 words; short papers are
also welcome).

The program committee will select a subset of accepted papers for
different kinds of presentations at different workshop sessions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

PROCEEDINGS:

The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag as part of the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/index.html.

PAPER SUBMISSION:

The workshop is open to all researchers, developers and users who
are  involved with or have an interest in software architecture.
All prospective participants should submit a position paper,
a full paper or an industrial report. The submissions should explain
the contribution to the field and the novelty of the work, making
clear the current status of the work.

Submit your paper electronically in PDF, PostScript or Word/RTF
via the Paperdyne web system: http://www.paperdyne.com/ewsa06.html

Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the
Program Committee.

ATTENDANCE:

Attendance will be limited to about 40 people. Invitation is based
on paper submission. The workshop language is English.
