Selected papers from the technical track will be invited to a special
issue of the Journal of Software: Evolution and Process. All papers
will be indexed in the IEEE digital library.
We invite original, high quality research papers in all areas of
software maintenance, evolution, reengineering, and migration. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to:
RESEARCH PAPERS
***************
Submissions should describe original, unpublished and significant work
in the research and practice of reverse engineering. Papers can be
either full papers limited to 10 proceeding pages or short papers
limited to 5 pages. Full papers should describe significant research
that advances the state-of-the art in reverse engineering. Short
papers should describe research and cutting-edge ideas in early stages
of development.
