SCAM 2013 - 13th IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM)

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 behavior of the system. The analysis and manipulation of source code thus remains a pressing concern.
COVERED TOPICS AND PAPER FORMATS:
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:
program transformation
abstract interpretation
program slicing
source level software metrics
decompilation
source level testing and verification
source level optimization
program comprehension
SCAM explicitly solicits results from any theoretical or technological domain that can be applied to these and similar topics.
SCAM also welcomes short (6 pages) Tool papers that introduce tools for source code analysis and manipulation. Tool papers should describe a concrete source code analysis or manipulation tool that is available for download and general use and can be run and demonstrated at the conference.
