Wicsa, also known as the Working Conference on Software Architecture, is an annual conference that focuses on the field of software architecture. The conference provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals to discuss and share their findings and experiences in software architecture. It serves as a venue for presenting and exploring the latest advancements, trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field. Wicsa is organized by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and has been held since 1998, making it over 20 years old. Throughout its history, Wicsa has established itself as one of the leading conferences in software architecture, attracting participants from all around the world. The conference typically features keynote speeches, technical sessions, workshops, tutorials, and panel discussions, providing a comprehensive program for attendees to engage with the subject matter and connect with fellow professionals.
BoFs can be proposed and advertised before the conference or can be convened at the conference when the need for one is recognised. BoFs can be 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.
Attendees who want to get together with others who share their interests, goals, technologies, environments, or backgrounds are invited to organise and attend a BoF session. One of the original intents behind the Recommended Practice for Architectural Description of Software-Intensive Systems ANSI IEEE Std 1471 and ISO IEC 42010 was to provide a basis by which the community could assemble a collection of viewpoints that can be reused across the industry.
The conference typically features keynote speeches, technical sessions, workshops, tutorials, and panel discussions, providing a comprehensive program for attendees to engage with the subject matter and connect with fellow professionals. Over the years, Wicsa has contributed significantly to the development and evolution of software architecture, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among experts in the field. As software architectures continue to play a crucial role in the design and development of complex software systems, Wicsa remains a vital event for the software architecture community, ensuring that practitioners stay informed of the latest research, best practices, and emerging trends in the field.
