ABCD - The First ECSA Workshop on Architecture-Based Continuity
in DevOps
We are soliciting research and experience papers on the topic of architecture-based approaches to DevOps and Continuous Delivery (CD). A key to the success of any large-scale software-intensive system is a solid, well-reasoned and well-executed software architecture. This is particularly true for large-scale platforms that are built upon a strategy of DevOps and continuous delivery. The increasing importance of DevOps demands an appropriate interaction between software research and practice to progress the state of the art and to build a solid foundation of engineering knowledge. As an abstraction of software structures and their visible characteristics, software architectures stand as unifying artefacts around which to build such a body of knowledge. The ABCD (Architecture-Based Continuity in DevOps) workshop aims specifically at addressing this grand challenge, namely, building an Architecture-Based Continuity in DevOps task-force in this first edition. This workshop is aiming at building a tightly knit and cohesive working group around the workshop topics which will focus on the driving quality attributes of DevOps: security, availability, modifiability, performance, and testability.
Papers on the following topics are solicited. Note that these topics are suggestive and that any interesting papers on the relationship between architecture and DevOps will be welcome:
Submissions will be judged on their relevance to the workshop theme and on the likelihood that the authors will make positive contributions to the workshop and its goals.
Important Dates:
Electronic Submissions should follow the main ECSA 2018 conference proceedings programme (see here) and be submitted online via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=abcd01
Top accepted workshop papers will be fast-tracked to submit an extended version at the upcoming "DevOps Quality" Special Issue for the Journal of Software Evolution and Process (JSEP).
