Call for Tutorials

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 tutorials held in conjunction with ECSA 2025. Tutorials will be held right before the main conference on 15-19 September 2025. 

ECSA edition 2025 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 are 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
