Abstract
The more complex a software system is and the longer a software system evolves, the more difficult it is to avoid effects like
software architecture erosion or architectural drifts. These effects can lead to systems where the realization of the system
diverges from the intended architecture with resultant negative impacts on quality attributes associated with the intended
architecture. As studies have shown, untreated divergence can lead to systems which are impossible to maintain in the long
run. SAEroCon is dedicated to research related to these phenomena.

We thank all authors for their excellent contributions,
and all presenters and participants for the lively discus-
sions at the workshop. We furthermore wish to thank
all members of the programme committee for their ef-
forts spent on providing very thorough and constructive
feedback to the authors of the submitted papers.
The members of the programme committee were:
