“iSAPS – the International Software Architecture PhD School – provides young researchers and practicing architects from the industry the opportunity to learn from the leaders in the field. The school will train the participants in the most recent methods, tools, and theories that are being produced in the top research groups and industrial environments. The format will combine lectures on cutting-edge topics with hands-on sessions on industrial cases. The participants will work on the cases from the point of view of their own research (students) and practice (architects) in break-out groups in order to put the theoretical knowledge into practice. The output of this hands-on work will consist of innovative solutions to technical problems and a research agenda to elaborate on complex problems in the long term. The PhD students will get the opportunity to work on real industrial problems, while practicing architects will enrich their knowledge with state-of-the-art theories. We also expect new collaborations between research groups and the corresponding organizations from the private and public sector. After the school, we plan to publish a technical report including the summaries of the cases and lessons learned.

Overall the International Software Architecture PhD School serves the following purposes: (1) it fills the current gap in Software Architecture research training, (2) it combines outstanding lecturers from both academia and industry; and (3) it brings together academics and practicing architects to discuss the most challenging and timely Software Architecture topics and establish future collaborations.”
