Development of software systems that help support social systems is of vital concern to industry, society, and government. However, software systems that help achieve the goal of a deferential integration of natural, human and material resources will be possible only when their architectures are designed to accommodate this requirement in the first place. Designing such software architectures requires that high-level picture be taken into account wherein the scenarios of usage for systems that employ the developed software are actively considered. Needless to say, in order to meet requirements and their constraints, innovative techniques need to be adopted to develop such software architectures. In this workshop papers that address specifically the techniques, methodologies and processes to develop software architectures for socio-technical systems will be presented and discussed.

This will be the 7th workshop in the series - the 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd International Workshops on System/Software Architectures respectively were held in the 2007-2003 years in the International Conference on Software Engineering Research and Practice (SERP series), and the 1st Workshop as a session on Adaptable Software Architectures in 2002 as part of SERP'02. All received excellent responses and the top papers were published not only in the conference proceedings but also in special journal issues.
