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
