International Symposium on Software Architecture and Patterns in conjunction with the 10th Latin American and Caribbean Conference for Engineering and Technology July 23-27, Panama City, Panama

The development of software has become an important business in several countries in Latin America. Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, among others, have significant software development efforts. A cornerstone for any good software development is the use of a systematic and scientific approach which allows to develop correct, secure, and reliable software. An important approach to produce high quality software is the use of patterns.

We solicit papers in all aspects of software architecture. They will be evaluated in the usual way using three reviewers. We also have a parallel event to review patterns in the style of PLoP conferences where a shepherd is assigned to your paper. We call this a MiniPLoP. For the MiniPLoP we look for patterns that are relevant to architectural aspects. 

We will also have a BootCamp to teach how to build patterns.

Call for Papers

Topics include

Architecture modeling
Incorporation of NFRs in architectures

Dates
Deadline for patterns: March 1, 2012
Deadline for papers: March 15, 2012
Notification: April 20, 2012
