19th European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA 2025)
September 15-19, 2025, 5* St. Raphael Resort and Marina, Limassol, Cyprus
(*** Proceedings to be published by Springer in LNCS ***)
The European Conference on Software Architecture (ECSA) is the premier European software
architecture conference, providing researchers, practitioners, and educators with a platform to
present and discuss the most recent, innovative, and significant findings and experiences in the
field of software architecture research and practice. The 19th European Conference on Software
Architecture (ECSA 2025) will be held from September 15 to 19, 2025. ECSA 2025 is planned as
an in-person conference taking place in the beautiful city of Limassol (Cyprus).
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit proposals for workshops and tutorials held
in conjunction with ECSA 2025. Workshops and tutorials will be held on September 15-16,
2025 (right before the main conference on September 17-19, 2025).
ECSA workshops allow researchers and practitioners to exchange and explore innovative
software architecture (scientific or engineering) ideas and challenges at an early stage.
Topics of interest are, but are not limited to:
• Software Architecture challenges for AI- and ML-based Systems
• Software Architecture challenges for Self-Adaptive Systems
• Software Architecture challenges for Cyber-Physical Systems
• Software Architecture challenges in Big Data and Cloud Computing
• Software Architecture challenges in IoT-based Systems
• Software Architecture challenges in DevOps and MLOps
• Software Architecture challenges in Blockchain Engineering
