CONFERENCE INFO

CSMR is the premier European conference on the theory and practice of
maintenance, reengineering and evolution of software systems. It
promotes discussion and interaction among researchers and
practitioners about the development of maintainable systems, and the
evolution, migration and reengineering of the existing ones. CSMR 2010
will feature up to 10 technical research paper sessions, full-day and
half-day workshops, an industry paper track, a tool demonstration
track, a doctoral symposium and a special track on European research
projects within the field of software maintenance and reengineering.
CSMR 2010 is sponsored by the Reengineering Forum (REF) with technical
co-sponsorship from the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE technical
Council on Software Engineering (TCSE) and participation from
Universidad rey Juan Carlos (URJC) and Universidad Polit=C3=A9cnica of
Madrid (UPM).

TOPICS

We solicit submissions, not limited to, on the following topics of
interest to the maintenance and reengineering community:
- Tools and methods to support software architecture and product lines
evolution
- Techniques and approaches for software analysis, comprehension, and
reconstruction
- Process models for software maintenance, reengineering, and evolution
- Experience reports and empirical studies on maintenance,
reengineering, and evolution
- Evaluation and assessment of reverse engineering and reengineering
tools
- Experiences on the role of global software development in
distributed maintenance teams
- Description of education-related issues to evolution, maintenance
and reengineering
- Case studies on maintenance and evolution of Service Oriented
Architecture-based systems
- Mechanisms and techniques for reengineering systems as services

PUBLICATION AND TYPES OF SUBMISSION
Technical Research Papers: Research papers should describe original
and significant work in the research and practice of software
maintenance and reengineering. Theoretical results, case studies,
empirical research and experiments are particularly welcome (10
proceeding pages).

Workshop Proposals: Workshop proposals should include the names and
affiliations of the organizers, a description of the topic, the
intended audience, and the proposed format of the session. Once the
proposal is accepted the organizers should submit a paper describing
the nature of the workshop area, related work, and its anticipated
impact (2 proceeding pages).

Industry Track Papers: The industry track papers should discuss
industrial practice and experience reports describing problems (and
their solutions) encountered in real applications. (2 proceedings
pages).

Tool Demonstration Track Papers: Tool demonstration track papers
should include information on the theory, models, and infrastructure
of the demonstrated tool. Challenges related to the use and adoption
of the demonstrated tool should also be included (2 proceeding pages).

Doctoral Symposium Papers: This year, the doctoral symposium track
wants to attract PhD students who have just started their research and
they are able to present preliminary work in progress or ideas that
have not been fully validated. PhD candidates with more solid work or
in the latest stages of their research are also invited to submit a
proposal. The papers should describe a summary of their research (4
proceeding pages).

European Project Track Papers: The European track papers should give
an overview on ongoing or recently completed projects (both national
and international) in Europe related to maintenance and/or
reengineering (4 proceeding pages).

All papers should adhere to the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format and
be submitted electronically in PDF format at the submission sites:
