Architecture-based software engineering research has yielded an impressive
array of technologies and demonstrations over the past decade. Using an
architecture-based approach, applications have been built which:
- exhibit remarkable flexibility;
- demonstrate significant reuse of off-the-shelf components;
- leverage experience from related applications in the same problem
domain;
- are analyzable earlier in their development than ever before.
The prospects for the coming decade are exceptionally bright. New technologies
are emerging and maturing. Heightened emphasis on network-based applications
presents an important opportunity for architecture-based approaches. To
guide this new decade of research, however, it is critical that effective
comparisons be made between alternative solution approaches, and that the
applications produced be evaluated.
Goals
We invite you to join us for the Workshop on
Evaluating Software Architectural Solutions (WESAS 2000). This engaging two-day workshop is being convened
with the following goals in mind:
- Share experiences in applying software architecture technologies;
- Share experiences in attempting to assess architecture-based approaches;
- Develop criteria for assessing germane properties of architecture-based
products;
- Identify assessment criteria for architecture-based development and
evolution technologies;
- Identify challenge problems to assist in the comparison of alternative
technical approaches.
Achievement of these goals will enable a follow-on workshop later in the
year, which will be a challenge-problem based evaluation exercise.
Format
The workshop will consist of a mixture of informal 5-minute experience
talks, full presentations, panels, and discussions. The first day will be primarily
devoted to presentations and the second to discussion. Attendees should
bring candidate challenge problems, evaluation criteria, and thoughtful
opinions! Position papers are required. If you would like to give a 5-minute
experience talk, please reserve a slot in advance by sending email to
taylor@uci.edu.
Submissions
2-3 page position papers should be sent to Debra Brodbeck at
brodbeck@uci.edu.
Submissions will be accepted by email only.
Submission Deadline: March 31, 2000
