February 18-21, 2008
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Description:
WICSA is the premier gathering of practitioners and researchers
interested in finding out about and improving on the state of practice
of software architecture.  Since its inception, WICSA has functioned
as a working conference, where researchers meet practitioners, and
where practicing  software architects can explain the problems that
they face in their day-to-day work and so influence future research
in the field.  In addition to traditional conference keynotes and paper
sessions, WICSA includes interactive working sessions where practitioners
and researchers discuss their experiences in order to understand the
current state of the field, and identify opportunities to make a
difference in the future.

This environment means that WICSA 2008 is the ideal venue for researchers
and software architecture practitioners to discuss successes, failures,
and ideas with each other, with these insights helping to identify how best
to move the state of both research and practice forward.

We actively solicit a number of types of submission from practicing
software architects and from the software architecture research community:
experience presentations, working session contributions, research papers,
experience papers, and tutorials.  Details on submission of each type of
contribution can be found on the conference Web site.

Important dates:
Sept. 17, 2007 - Submission deadline for research papers
Sept. 28, 2007 - Submission deadline for working session submissions
Nov. 30, 2007  - Acceptance notification
Jan. 4, 2008   - Final version of submissions due
