FAMOOSr 2013 - 6th Workshop on FAMIX and Moose in Reengineering

FAMOOSr is a workshop aimed at researchers and practitioners in the field of object-oriented reengineering and software analysis. The workshop is focused on how to put research ideas and results from these fields into practice using the FAMIX family of meta-models and the MOOSE analysis platform.
Research reaps many benefits through collaborations and tool support. For this reason MOOSE is an open-source project for researchers and industrial to build and share their analysis, meta-models, and data. Several research groups from different universities are actively using MOOSE as an analysis platform, or FAMIX as a meta-model: University of Bern, University of Lugano, INRIA Lille, Politehnica University of Timisoara, University of Zurich, Université Catholique de Louvain, Universidad de Chile.
Goals and target audience
The main goals of the workshop are as follows:
To offer researchers using and building infrastructures like MOOSE and FAMIX the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas, and to identify possible future collaborations.
To facilitate interoperability of the extensions of FAMIX that have evolved at the different groups over the past years.
To increase awareness of the capabilities of MOOSE and FAMIX. The target audience in this case are researchers and industry practitioners with an interest in reverse and re-engineering software systems.
To exchange experiences and trigger collaborations on meta-modeling and software visualization.
Submissions may address issues along general themes, including but not limited to:
Meta-models,
Persistency and manipulation of models and meta-models,
Visualization techniques and modeling,
Analysis techniques: pattern matching, data mining, machine learning, or probabilistic approaches,
Parsing back-ends,
Mechanisms for tool composition and rapid tool prototyping,
Dynamic analysis,
Reusability of research: issues related to reusing tools written by other researchers, mechanisms for making research results and tools available to the community.
