Goals

TSAD is is devoted entirely to Software Architecture and the related topics. Its purpose is to bring together software engineering practitioners and researchers from industry and academia in Turkey to exchange experiences, results and ideas related to all aspects of software architecture. The particular goals of this conference are the following:

•  Improve consciousness on software architecture design
  Software engineering is an emerging discipline including many important topics. Among these topics software architectures play a key role since it is one of the earliest artifact in the software development life cycle, which has also the largest impact on the subsequent phases. The primary goal of this conference is to foster the consciousness about this key concept in software engineering.

•  Stimulate research and education on software architecture design
  We hope to stimulate the research and education in Turkey with respect to software architecture design. Researchers will find a forum and a channel to present and share their ideas. Educators will find the important topics in software architecture design and include these in their courses.
   

•  Reflect and foster state-of-the practice of software architecture design
  Software development and software engineering is getting a key role in the Turkish society. During the last decade several highly respected software companies with serious international competitive strength have been founded in Turkey. These companies usually seem to be well aligned with the latest development in the international software engineering community. With this conference we hope to reflect the state-of-the-practice with respect to software architecture design in Turkey.  The conference will provide an opportunity to represent the latest developments in industrial software projects and highlight the identified problems and the solutions.
