Co-located with DisCoTec 2025
June 20, 2025 - Lille, France
The Workshop on Adaptable Cloud Architectures (WACA) is soliciting the
submission of contributions on Cloud architecture adaptation. WACA aims to
bring together researchers and practitioners to explore and compare
different approaches to architectural adaptation in Cloud systems. The
workshop focuses on adaptive strategies that extend beyond traditional
scaling mechanisms, investigating architectural modifications in response
to:
- evolving user requirements;
- service load fluctuations (including both legitimate traffic increases
and security threats);
- infrastructure failures (machine outages, external service disruptions,
etc.).
To facilitate meaningful comparisons between different approaches, we
provide a reference case study based on an adaptable version of TeaStore.
This common ground enables participants to demonstrate their methods and
technologies in a comparable environment.
We invite submissions addressing, but not limited to:
- Modeling approaches for adaptive Cloud architectures
- Implementation techniques for adaptation mechanisms
- Runtime verification of adaptation properties
- Performance analysis of adaptation strategies
- Security considerations in architectural adaptation
- Tools and frameworks supporting Cloud architecture adaptation
Papers should present contributions related to the workshop themes,
preferably demonstrated through the provided case study scenarios. We
strongly encourage submissions to include supporting artifacts that
complement the paper's contributions.
Detailed submission instructions are available on the workshop website
https://waca-ws.github.io/2025
The workshop itself does not have proceedings, but we will invite
contributors to refine their work for the publication of the workshop
post-proceedings that will be published in Electronic Proceedings in
Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).
