Generative AI has become a pervasive topic in recent years, attracting the attention of researchers and practitioners. As the software engineering community begins to explore it, there is a pressing need for developments and contributions from the software architecture community. SAGAI'25, the 1st International Workshop on Software Architecture and Generative AI creates a dedicated space for discussing and advancing the field. SAGAI aims to cover both the development time and runtime aspects of the intersection between generative AI and software architecture.
The SAGAI'25 Workshop is co-located with the 22nd IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA'25) in Odense (Denmark), and will take place in a date to be defined between March 31 and April 4, 2025.
Important Dates
We adhere to the following proposed important dates:- Paper Submission Deadline: December 20, 2024
- Notification of Acceptance: January 20, 2025
- Camera-Ready Submission: January 27, 2025
Topics
- Approaches to use generative AI in architecture design and evaluation;
- Generative AI to support architecture knowledge management;
- Generative AI to support the elaboration of architecture scenarios descriptions;
- Generative AI to support the elaboration of architecture evaluation protocols;
- Integration and interaction of generative AI methods and tools with existing state-of-the practice tools;
- Improvement of context knowledge used by co-pilots and LLMs in multiple contexts;
- Approaches to use generative AI in modernization of legacy systems;
- Experiences and ideas on teaching generative AI techniques to software architects;
- Approaches to use generative AI at runtime to address quality requirements;
- Tactics to deal with the non-deterministic character of generative AI to allow for effective and efficient solutions at runtime.
Submission
All submissions will follow the IEEE Computer Science proceedings format. Submissions must be done by the deadline in PDF format via via the EasyChair (SAGAI Workshop). We solicit the following types of papers:- Full papers: complete research approaches and industry experiences (max. 10 pages).
- Short papers: ongoing research initiatives with early results, argued positions, and emerging novel ideas (max. 6 pages)
Publication
The accepted papers will be published in the ICSA 2025 Companion proceedings and appear in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. For each accepted paper, at least one of the authors must register for the workshop, participate fully in the workshop, and present the paper at the workshop.
