ICSM 2011 - 2011 IEEE 27th International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM)

Research papers should describe original and significant work in the research and practice of software maintenance and evolution. Case studies, empirical research, and experiments are welcome. Papers must not have been previously accepted for publication nor concurrently submitted for review in another journal, book, or conference/workshop. Research papers are limited to 10 pages, in IEEE style.

Selected papers from this track will be invited to be in a special issue of the Journal of Software Maintenance and Evolution, Research and Practice (JSME).

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

reverse engineering and re-engineering
static and dynamic analysis
software migration and renovation
maintenance and evolution process
program and system comprehension
concept, feature and aspect location
mining software repositories
clone, similarity and reuse analysis
empirical studies in software maintenance and evolution
testing, only in relation to maintenance (e.g., regression testing)
