This book presents reference architecture as a key blueprint to develop and evolve critical software-intensive systems, emphasizing both the state of the art in research and successful industrial cases.After outlining the theoretical foundations of reference architecture and presenting an overview of a number of reference architectures proposed over the recent years, this book dives into a set of critical application domains, including defense, health, automotive, avionics, and Industry 4.0, highlighting the respective most relevant reference architectures that have impacted these domains, the experience and lessons learned, insights gained, benefits and drawbacks, and factors that make these architectures sustainable. The book finishes with the most relevant directions for future advances in reference architectures.The content of this book is useful for researchers and advanced professionals in industry in the areas of computing and engineering, as well as in critical application domains that increasingly require interconnected, large, and complex software-intensive systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th European Conference on Software Architecture, ECSA 2024, held in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, during September 2–6, 2024.The 14 full research papers, 3 experience report papers, 7 short papers and 3 industry papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 89 submissionsThey were organized in topical sections as follows: Architecture modeling and design; Architecture evaluation; Microservices architecture; Sustainability; Trustworthiness; Architecture decision making; and Architecture documentation.

In addition, it contains the proceedings of the two workshops:7th Context-Aware, Autonomous and Smart Architectures International Workshop (CASA7th Context-Aware, Autonomous and Smart Architectures International Workshop (CASA)The 3rd International Workshop on Quality in Software Architecture (QUALIFIER).

This two-volume set volume constitutes the papers of ten workshops which were held in conjunction with the 22nd International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2024. The conference took place in Tunis, Tunisia, during December 3–6, 2024.The 58 full papers and 3 short papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 109 submissions.ICSOC 2024 presents the following ten workshops:– 9th International Workshop on Adaptive Service-oriented and Cloud Applications (ASOCA)– 5th International Workshop on AI-enabled Process Automation (AI-PA)– 20th International Workshop on Engineering Service-Oriented Applications and Cloud Services (WESOACS)– 1st International Workshop on Generative AI as a Software Service (GAISS)– 1st International Workshop on Lightweight AI-based Services (LAIS)– 1st International Workshop on Optimising AI Models Using Local Data on Resource-Constrained Edge Devices - Training \& Inference (AI on Edge)– 1st International Workshop on RealTime Service oriented and EMbedded Systems (RTSEMS)– 2nd International Workshop on Services and Quantum Software (SQS)– 1st International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing, AI, and IoT for Smart Applications (SOCAISA)– 1st International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing for AI Applications (SOC4AI).
