***Scope and Goal***
The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European forum for presenting
and discussing software architecture research and practice.
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for workshops and tutorials
held in conjunction with ECSA 2022. Workshops and tutorials will be held on 19 and 20 of September 2022
(right before the main conference on 21-23 September 2022). The plan at the moment is to organize
the workshops and tutorials as a hybrid event with the option to go fully online if required.
ECSA workshops provide an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to exchange and explore
innovative software architecture (scientific or engineering) ideas and challenges at an early stage.
In addition, ECSA edition 2022 hosts tutorials on topics related to software architecture from
theoretical foundations to practical applications. Tutorials at ECSA provide a valuable opportunity
for conference participants to expand their knowledge and skills in specific research and
practical topics under the umbrella of software architecture.

Topics of interests may include but not limited to:
• Software Architecture challenges for AI- and ML-based Systems
• Software Architecture challenges for Self-Adaptive Systems
• Software Architecture challenges for Cyber-Physical Systems
• Software Architecture challenges in Big Data and Cloud Computing
• Software Architecture challenges in IoT-based Systems
• Software Architecture challenges in DevOPS and MLOPS
• Software Architecture challenges in Blockchain Engineering
• Quality-of-service (QoS) measurements of Software Architectures
• Privacy and Security in Software Architectural Design
• Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart Architectures
• Sustainability in Software Architectures
• Software Architecture Erosion and Architectural Consistency
• Technical Debt in Software Architecture Design
• Architecting the Digital Twin
• Continuous Architecting

***Types of submission***

***Submission instructions***
Submissions must follow the CEUR-ART style (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip).
All proposals should be submitted before the submission deadline (see below) using the
online submission site: EasyChair ECSA 2022 Workshop&tutorial track (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecsa2022).

***Publication and proceedings***
ECSA 2022 will use a two-step process for workshop proceedings.
Online proceedings (available before the start of the conference) will include all the accepted papers
(5 to 10 pages) of the workshops and will be published at CEUR (http://ceur-ws.org).
After the conference, we plan to organise post-proceedings of selected and extended papers of workshops
that will be published in a Springer LNCS volume (16 to 18 pages).
Candidate papers for post-proceedings need to be identified during the initial paper review and
workshop paper reviewers need to indicate if an extended and revised version of an accepted
submission should be considered for publication in the post-proceedings of LNCS.
Workshop chairs will then be asked to nominate papers of their workshop to be invited for submission
for the post-proceedings (e.g., based on the initial review reports, the preference of the reviewers
to consider the paper for post-proceedings, as well as the workshop itself).

Summaries of accepted tutorials can also be considered for extension in the LNCS volume.
Workshop papers submitted for the post-proceedings will undergo an additional review cycle.
Workshop organizers must include this two-step process in their Call for Papers.

For accepted tutorials
For accepted tutorials, a camera-ready tutorial summaries of 2-4 pages are due as described
in the Important Dates above, and will be published in ECSA 2022 online proceedings (CEUR).
For accepted workshops
For all accepted workshops, ECSA 2022 strongly recommends uniform deadlines for workshop papers submission,
notification of authors, and camera-ready copies, as described in the Important Dates above.
Workshop papers for the online proceedings (CEUR) should have at least 5 pages for short papers
(up to 9 pages) and regular papers are 10 pages. Accepted workshop papers may be invited to be published
in post-proceedings (Springer) as outlined above. Therefore, workshop organizers must include
the two-step publication process outlined above in their Call for Papers.
