ICSA 2027 — 24th IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture
by IEEE, hosted by CSIRO
A working conference on what architecture has to hold together once AI writes the code.
About This Event
ICSA 2027, the 24th IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture, runs 8-12 March 2027 in Sydney, Australia, hosted by CSIRO. Its theme is "The Enduring Role of Software Architecture in an Evolving Landscape": as AI takes on more of the day-to-day work of building software, the organisers argue that architecture provides the enduring structures and constraints that guide system evolution, support effective human-AI collaboration, and preserve long-term qualities such as maintainability, resilience, trustworthiness and sustainability. ICSA is deliberately a working conference in the WICSA, CBSE and QoSA tradition — alongside Research Papers it runs a Software Architecture in Practice track, New and Emerging Ideas, interactive Working Sessions, tutorials and tech briefings, artifact evaluation, journal-first, posters, an early-career programme and a Software Architecture Showcase.

Topics & Focus Areas
Who Should Attend
- ✓Enterprise architects
- ✓Principal and staff engineers
- ✓Heads of platform engineering
- ✓CTOs and VPs of Engineering
- ✓Engineering managers
- ✓Software architecture researchers
Why Attend
Every organisation putting coding agents and LLMs into its delivery pipeline is finding that the constraint is no longer how fast code gets written but whether the resulting system stays maintainable, reviewable and safe to change — and that is precisely the question ICSA 2027 is built around. An enterprise architect, principal engineer or head of platform gets a dedicated Software Architecture in Practice track, working sessions designed to put practitioners and researchers at the same table instead of in a lecture theatre, and a Software Architecture Showcase: five days that convert into concrete decisions about human-AI collaboration, resilience, trustworthiness and technical-debt control.
Event Features
- ✓Research Papers track
- ✓Software Architecture in Practice track for practitioner experience reports
- ✓Interactive Working Sessions co-created between researchers and practitioners
- ✓New and Emerging Ideas track
- ✓Tutorials and tech briefings, plus a workshops programme
- ✓Artifact evaluation, journal-first, posters, early-career programme and the Software Architecture Showcase
What Makes This Unique
- ★Explicitly a working conference rather than a lecture programme: interactive Working Sessions have their own proposal deadline (15 October 2026) and exist so architects can put real day-to-day problems in front of researchers.
- ★The 2027 theme puts human-AI collaboration and the durability of architecture under AI-assisted development at the centre, rather than treating AI as one track among many.
- ★Carries a dedicated Software Architecture in Practice track and a Software Architecture Showcase alongside the research track, so practitioner experience reports are first-class submissions.
- ★Hosted by CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, which gives the programme a strongly applied-research character.
- ★Rated CORE A, and the direct successor to the WICSA, CBSE and QoSA conference lines.
