This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the tracks and workshops which complemented the 14th European Conference on Software Architecture, ECSA 2020, held in L'Aquila, Italy*, in September 2020. The 30 full papers and 9 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. Papers presented were accepted into the following tracks and workshops: ECSA 2020 Doctoral Symposium track; ECSA 2020 Tool Demos track; ECSA 2020 Gender Diversity in Software Architecture &Software Engineering track; CASA - 3rd International Workshop on Context-aware, Autonomous and Smart Architecture; CSE/QUDOS - Joint Workshop on Continuous Software Engineering and Quality-Aware DevOps; DETECT - 3rd International Workshop on Modeling, Verication and Testing of Dependable Critical Systems; FAACS-MDE4SA - Joint Workshop on Formal Approaches for Advanced Computing Systems and Model-Driven Engineering for Software Architecture; IoT-ASAP - 4th International Workshop on Engineering IoT Systems: Architectures, Services, Applications, and Platforms; SASI4 - 2nd Workshop on Systems, Architectures, and Solutions for Industry 4.0; WASA - 6th International Workshop on Automotive System/Software Architecture. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why have a book about the relation between requirements and software architecture? Understanding the relation between requirements and architecture is important because the requirements, be they explicit or implicit, represent the function, whereas the architecture determines the form. While changes to a set of requirements may impact on the realization of the architecture, choices made for an architectural solution may impact on requirements, e.g., in terms of revising functional or non-functional requirements that cannot actually be met. Although research in both requirements engineering and software architecture is quite active, it is in their combination that understanding is most needed and actively sought. Presenting the current state of the art is the purpose of this book. The editors have divided the contributions into four parts: Part 1 "Theoretical Underpinnings and Reviews" addresses the issue of requirements change management in architectural design through traceability and reasoning. Part 2 "Tools and Techniques" presents approaches, tools, and techniques for bridging the gap between software requirements and architecture. Part 3 "Industrial Case Studies" then reports industrial experiences, while part 4 on "Emerging Issues" details advanced topics such as synthesizing architecture from requirements or the role of middleware in architecting for non-functional requirements. The final chapter is a conclusions chapter identifying key contributions and outstanding areas for future research and improvement of practice. The book is targeted at academic and industrial researchers in requirements engineering or software architecture. Graduate students specializing in these areas as well as advanced professionals in software development will also benefit from the results and experiences presented in this volume.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th European Conference on Software Architecture, ECSA 2014, held in Vienna, Austria, in August 2014. The 16 full papers and 18 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: architecture decisions and knowledge; architecture patterns and anti-patterns; reference architectures and metamodels; architecture description languages; enterprise architecture, SOA and cloud computing; components and connectors; quality attributes; and architecture analysis and verification.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Software Engineering for Resilient Systems, SERENE 2012, held in Pisa, Italy, in September 2012. The 12 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers address all aspects of fault tolerance and exception handling, safety modeling, supporting evolution, resilience in service-oriented computing, and applying formal methods in case studies.
