The Software Architecture Portal
The IFIP WG 2.10 maintains the software architecture portal.[2] The portal provides information about the working group, the Software Architecture Village wiki, and other resources on software architecture.
The IFIP WG 2.10 is also active in organising the ICSA (previously WICSA) conference series.[3]
