The aim of this working conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on theory, techniques and applications which concern analysis and/or manipulation of the source code of computer systems. While much attention in the wider software engineering community is properly directed towards other aspects of systems development and evolution, such as specification, design and requirements engineering, it is the source code that contains the only precise description of the behaviour of the system. The analysis and manipulation of source code thus remains a pressing concern.
We welcome submission of papers that describe original and significant work in the field of source code analysis and manipulation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Note that SCAM explicitly solicits results from any theoretical or technological domain that can be applied to these and similar topics.
Submitted papers should not be longer than 10 pages. We also welcome submission of 2 page proposals for tool demonstrations expected to be performed live at the conference. All papers submitted should follow IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines. The papers should be submitted electronically via the conference web site. Submitted papers should not have been previously published, and should not have been concurrently submitted elsewhere.
All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. We plan a special issue in an international journal, featuring revised and extended best papers accepted at SCAM 2010.
