SCOPE AND TOPICS
----------------------------

The 6th CASA workshop aims to address the issues and challenges raised
by the design, implementation, and evaluation of software systems characterized
by the context-aware, dynamic, autonomous, smart, and adaptive, keywords.

The workshop aims to bring together software engineers, computer scientists,
researchers, practitioners, and educators to discuss and exchange results,
case studies, experiences, novel approaches and visionary ideas concerning
software architectures for context-aware, autonomous, and smart solutions.

The workshop will be co-located with the 17th European Conference on
Software Architecture.

The CASA 2023 workshop is interested in all the topics concerning the architectural
aspects in Context-aware, Autonomous, and Smart (CASA) solutions. Please find below
several examples of possible topics:

• Software architectures: surveys, issues, challenges, comparisons, research and PoC;
• Design and architectural patterns;
• Architectural models and techniques;
• Current practices in developed projects;
• Architecture description languages;
• Standards for software architectures;
• Machine Learning based approaches;
• Internet of Things and sensor networks;
• Local, edge, cloud computing;
• Network infrastructures, middleware;
• Big Data, massive data management;
• Autonomous and self-adaptive aspects;
• Self-aware, self-managed, self-configuration, self-organization, self-protection, self-improvement aspects;
• Autonomous and unmanned vehicles;
• Applications of CASA solutions to healthcare systems, public administration systems, Industry 4.0 systems.


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
----------------------------

The workshop invites two types of submission:

• full research and experience papers (12 pages + 2 for refs), presenting
novel contributions concerning the architectural aspects of context-aware,
autonomous, and smart solutions;
• short and position papers (8 pages + 2 for refs), presenting promising
preliminary results from work-in-progress or research challenges in software
architectures for context-aware, autonomous, and smart solutions.

Submissions must follow the LNCS style. ECSA 2023 will use a two-step process for
workshop proceedings. Online proceedings (available before the conference) will
include all the accepted papers to the workshops and will be published online on
the ECSA 2023 web page (no proceedings). After the conference, we will organize
post-proceedings of selected and extended papers of workshops that will be published
in a Springer LNCS volume (up to 16 pages).
