12th WORKSHOP SOFTWARE-REENGINEERING

GI Special Interest Group Software Reengineering (SRE) Gesellschaft fuer Informatik (German CS Association)

Bad-Honnef, Germany, May 3-5, 2010

*** Deadline for submissions: April 9, 2010 ***

Goals of the workshop

Software Reengineering comprises all activities that aim at examination and alteration of software systems to reconstitute them in a new form. In a broader sense it also covers maintenance and evolution of software systems.

The main goal of the Workshop Software Reengineering (WSR) is to bring together different working groups from academia and industry that work in the fields of software reengineering and maintenance.

Everyone working in this field is invited to present his/her current activities or results. Practitioners’ experience reports are as welcome as reports on scientific projects and results.

Possible topics include (but are not limited to):

Methods and process models

• Methods and models for software reengineering and maintenance
• Process models for software renovation, migration, and maintenance
• Embedding reengineering activities into software development

Reengineering tools

• Tools for program comprehension, redocumentation, software visualization, static and dynamic program analysis, software testing, software maintenance, and program transformation
• Interoperability between software reengineering and development tools

Software migration

• Migration strategies and transformation approaches
• Migration to service-oriented architectures (SOA)
• Migration to product line architectures

Architecture reengineering

• Architecture reconstruction, assessment, migration
• Evolution software architectures aligned to enterprise architecture evolution

Software Quality

• Quality criteria on maintainability and testability
• Estimation and certification of software systems for maintainability

Economical aspects of reengineering

• Organizational aspects of reengineering projects
• Cost-effectiveness analysis of reengineering
• Quality monitoring of reengineering actions
• Effort estimation for reengineering projects

Experience reports

• Experience reports on maintenance activities, migration and reengineering projects
• Empirical studies on successful tool applications and maintenance benefits

Tool demos

You are invited to demonstrate your software reengineering tool. Please register your tool demo, giving the name, manufacturer, and a short description (3 sentences) by sending an email to wsr at uni-koblenz.de. Deadline is April 23, 2010.

In case of too many registrations, the organizers will have to perform a selection.
