'''WICSA 2009 is the eighth international conference devoted entirely to Software Architecture.''' Its purpose is to bring together software engineering practitioners and researchers from industry and academia to exchange experiences, results and ideas related to all aspects of software architecture. Its mission is to strengthen and expand its role as the premier conference on architectural issues in software system design, development and maintenance, practitioners as well as academics '''WICSA is a Working Conference!''' Your work starts right now. Find the topics you are interested in, watch the pages where the action is (put them on your watch list), and make your contributions, before, during, and after the conference. == What's New == * [[WICSA 2009 Photo Log| Latest photos]] * If anyone needs assistance editing content or uploading files, please [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Special:Emailuser|target=Robert.schwanke&wpSubject=WICSA+2008+Wiki+Feedback}} contact me]. == Keynotes == Keynotes talks by: === Jaap Schekkermann === === Eoin Woods === === Alex Wolf === ''Where is Software Architecture?'' [[:Image:Wolf-Alex-2009-Keynote-Slides.pdf|Slides]] == Research Papers == will be loaded into the wiki. For now, see the [http://www.iso-architecture.org/wicsa2009/programme_overview.html Conference At-A-Glance]. == Working Sessions == Working sessions are designed to allow plenty of time for discussion and to capture that discussion in this wiki. Working sessions are two hours. Each working session contains three or four short papers about related subjects, and starts with 10-minute presentations of each short paper. The remaining time of the working session will be spent discussing the session's topic with the paper authors and other workshop participants. The working sessions will be facilitated by two working session chairs: one from industry and one from academia. Please visit the working session pages, sign up for two of them, and start ''now'' contributing to the discussion. *[[WICSA 2009 WS1 -- Architecture Knowledge 1 -- Patterns and Constraints]] *[[WICSA 2009 WS2 -- Stakeholder Concerns]] *[[WICSA 2009 WS3 -- Analysis]] *[[WICSA 2009 WS4 -- 21st Century Architectural Styles]] *[[WICSA 2009 WS5 -- Architecture Knowledge 2 -- Decisions and Rationale]] *[[WICSA 2009 WS6 -- Architecture Design]] *[[WICSA 2009 WS7 -- Architectural Description]] *[[WICSA 2009 WS8 -- Adaptive Architectures]] == Workshops == The following workshops are planned for WICSA/ECSA 2009. Visit each workshop's web site for further details, the Call for Participation and the latest information. Workshops are invited to use this wiki in the same fashion as the working sessions: collect pre-workshop materials, summarize discussions, post workshop preliminary results, and continue the debates after the workshop. *[http://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/soar/2009/ SOAR 2009] *[http://www.lmsa-community.org/wikis/index.php/EASA-2009 EASA 2009] *[http://www.sei.cmu.edu/events/Event-Details.cfm?customel_datapageid_4744=225035 Exploring Enterprise, System of Systems, System, and Software Architecture].

Attendees wishing to get together with others who share their interests, goals, technologies, environments, or backgrounds were invited to organize and attend a BoF session. Requirements for holding a BoF and to attend one were very flexible. A few BoFs were proposed and advertised before the conference, others were convened at the conference when the need for one was recognized. There was a preference that attendees sign-up for BoFs in advance but people were allowed to just show up. BoFs were used to continue a discussion that began in another session, for a group to get together to pursue a common interest or just to discuss a range of opinions around a topic. The following BoFs were held: *[[WICSA 2009 BAVF:Architecture Viewpoints and Frameworks|Architecture Viewpoints and Framework]]: Monday, 14 September, 1800:1900 *[[WICSA 2009 BVCSA: Virtualization, Cloud Computing and Software Architecture|Virtualization, Cloud Computing and Software Architecture]]: Tuesday, 15 September, 18:00 – 19:00 *[[WICSA 2009 BBGA:Business Goals and Architecture|Business Goals and Architecture]]: Tuesday, 15 September, 18:00 – 19:00 *[[WICSA 2009 BAAL:Architecture Analysis with Lattix, A Comparison of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome|Architecture Analysis with Lattix, A Comparison of Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome]]: Tuesday, 15 September, 18:00 – 19:00 == Getting Oriented Quickly == *First, become a registered Wicsa 2009 wiki user by [http://www.iso-architecture.org/wicsa2008/registration.html registering for the conference.] *To contribute/edit, make sure you are [http://wwwp.dnsalias.org/wiki/Special:Userlogin logged in] to this site. *You can create your own individual home page by clicking on your ID, which will take you to a personal page where you can add your personal information. *Set your profile to watch any pages that you change, so that you can see others' response to your changes. *[[WICSA_2005:Getting_Started|A great guide from previous WICSA conferences.]] == Local Arrangements Info == [[Local Arrangements for Cambridge, UK]] [[Warning -- Travel Disruptions Possible]] If you have further questions about local arrangements for WICSA and ECSA 2009 in Cambridge, send an email to [mailto:wicsa2009-local-arrangements@eoinwoods.info?subject=WICSA%202009%20Local%20Arrangements the local organisers] and we'll help however we can. == Miscellaneous == === Feedback === If you find the wiki useful or have suggestions for improvement, please provide feedback to: [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Special:Emailuser|target=Robert.schwanke&wpSubject=WICSA+2008+Wiki+Feedback}} Bob Schwanke] (WikiMaster). If anyone needs specific Wiki support, I'll be at the conference, arriving Monday afternoon. === Wiki Page Naming Convention === When choosing a page name, please think as if you were writing an encyclopedia article. The meaning of the name should not depend on reading it in the context of some other page. Avoid acronyms, except "WICSA" and acronyms from the schedule grid, ''e.g.'' WS1, BAAL. You do not need to include the year of the conference in the page title, unless the page is similar to one from a different conference year. (Notice that the short form of the conference name is "WICSA 2009". It does not include a serial number, that is, it is not called "8th WICSA" nor "WICSA 8".
