===================================================================

We are delighted to invite you to submit papers to the 22nd IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA 2025), the premier event for practitioners and researchers in software architecture.

The theme of ICSA 2025 is Architecting for the Next Generation of Intelligent Systems. ICSA 2025 focuses on how AI technologies, such as natural language processing, machine learning, and generative models, are transforming software architecture. We seek innovative contributions that explore both the opportunities and challenges presented by these advancements. Submissions may propose new methodologies, tools, and best practices for integrating intelligent systems into software architectures. Additionally, we welcome case studies that highlight both successful and unsuccessful applications of these technologies, offering valuable insights into their practical implications.

 We welcome submissions in, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Requirements & Architecture
  • Stakeholder management and collaborating with other domains
  • Stakeholder management and collaborating with other domains
  • Linking architecture to requirements and/or implementation
  • Methods to address the intertwining of specification and design
  • Sustainability, ethics, business, financial, and managerial aspects of software architecture
• Architecture Design
  • Model-driven architecture
  • Component-based software engineering
  • Architecture frameworks and architecture description languages
  • Reusable architectural solutions & architecture knowledge management
• Cloud-native Computing & Architecture
  • Microservices & containerization
  • Serverless platforms & novel forms of virtualization (WASM, MicroVMs, etc.)
  • Event-driven architectures
  • Observability & Distributed Tracing
• Architecture Evaluation
  • Evaluating quality aspects (e.g., security, performance, reliability, evolvability)
  • AI/ML techniques for architecture
  • Architecture conformance checking
  • Lightweight evaluation methods
• Architecture & Life-cycle
  • Automatic extraction and generation of software architecture descriptions
  • Architecture & continuous integration/delivery, and DevOps
  • Refactoring and evolving architecture design decisions and solutions
  • Agile architecting, continuous architecting, and other approaches to architecting
• Architecture & Architects
  • Roles and responsibilities for software architects
  • Training, soft skills, coaching, mentoring, education, and certification
  • Architecture for equality, diversity and inclusion
  • State-of-the-art and state-of-practice in software architecture
• Architecture for specific types of systems, such as:
  • Edge / Fog / Internet of Things (IoT) systems
  • AI / ML systems & systems using blockchains
  • Cyber-physical systems
  • Self-adaptive & autonomous systems
• Architecture & Generative AI:
  • Design assistance & identification of architectural patterns
  • Decision-making support, comparing technologies, evaluating trade-offs
  • Generating source code to facilitate implementing architecture designs
  • Reviewing designs, identifying inconsistencies, and suggesting improvements

Important Dates (23:59 AoE)
