Call for Papers

• The workshop will address a variety of topics at the intersection of requirements and software architecture including, but not limited to, the following:
• Positions on the requirements, design, construction, and maintenance of a community-wide infrastructure for empirical research in architecture-based maintenance.
• Designs and approaches that directly support interoperability, replicability, and reusability of architecture-based tools.
• Experiences, case studies, or empirical studies of software architectures that result in artifacts in the form of baselines, datasets, and benchmarks that can be included in a community-owned repository or infrastructure.
• Experiences or evaluations of existing software-architecture tools and how they can enable empirical research in the area of software architecture.
• Replication studies describing results, challenges faced as part of the studies, and lessons learned.
• Assessment techniques and metrics for evaluating empirical research in software architecture
• Development and sharing of tools that support various informational and processing needs (e.g., visualization of interactions among architectural and requirements knowledge).
