[m2m-atl-dev] Call for Papers - IEEE International Workshop on Communicating Business Process and Software Models (CPSM 2013) co-located with ICSM 2013

bauerv@xxxxxxx (Veronika Bauer) — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 12:43:21 GMT

Call for Papers

for the 1st IEEE International Workshop on

Communicating Business Process and Software Models

Quality, Understandability, and Maintainability (CPSM 2013)

on September 23, 2013 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands

in conjunction with the

29th International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM)

Eindhoven, the Netherlands, 22-28 September 2013.

Important Dates

Submission: Friday, June 21st, 2013

Notification: Tuesday, July 16th, 2013

Camera-ready: Tuesday, July 30th, 2013

Workshop: September 23rd, 2013

http://www.win.tue.nl/cpsm2013/

In recent years, the fact that models are a means for communication gained more attention in research on process modeling and software modeling. Both communities discuss issues related to models, modeling languages, and their use and perception, such as model understandability, complexity of modeling languages, actual usage of language features, cognitive aspects, human perception and subjective perspectives on models, and related issues.

These topics are extremely important for the adaption of modeling languages in practice, yet the attention from the research community is still limited. The CPSM 2013 workshop shall provide a forum for researchers and practitioners actively working on quality, usability and maintainability of software and process models. The workshop supports the exchange of ideas, challenges, and insights from two similar domains with the aim of raising awareness of the important “soft skills” of modeling languages. The workshop will give room to present research results, position papers, case studies and share experiences and ideas in panel discussions.

Relevant topics are

- Business process model quality metrics

- Business process maintainability

- Business process evolution

- Business process modeling styles

- Business process modeling patterns and anti-patterns

- Business process comprehension

- Relation between business process models and software / system models

- Software model maintainability

- Software model evolution and tracking

- Software model and implementation alignment

- Software model comprehension

- Roles and expertise different modeling activities

- Empirical studies on understandability of business processes and software models

- Empirical studies on quality of business process and software models

- Industrial cases on communication and understandability of process and software models

We invite full papers that describe consolidated research results or case studies, as well as short papers outlining researches still in progress or position papers. Submissions will be assessed based on their novelty, relevance, empirical evidence, scientific quality, readability, comparison with existing and related works, and the extent to which the paper allows to build bridges between the different domains of process modeling and software engineering. We specifically want to encourage early results.

Format of the Workshop and Proceedings

The workshop will comprise presentations of accepted papers and keynotes from experienced researchers and practitioners. Moreover, we will organize moderated discussions on hot topics that were raised in the different communities and emerged from the workshop submissions.

All accepted papers will be published as IEEE Workshop Proceedings. As this volume will appear after the conference, there will be informal proceedings during the workshop. At least one author for each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper.

Paper Submission

Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. Different paper types are distinguished. Length of full papers (completed research or case study) must not exceed 10 pages. Short papers (work in progress or positions paper) should be no longer than 4 pages. Papers should be submitted in the IEEE style in PDF format, templates are available at https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html. Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (full paper | case study | work in progress | position paper).

Papers should be submitted via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cpsm2013

ICSM 2013 CFP - ERA/Tool Demo/Doctoral Symposium/Industry Tracks
============================================================================

29th IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance

22 - 28 September 2013 - Eindhoven, The Netherlands

http://icsm2013.tue.nl/
Follow us on Twitter: @IEEEICSM
============================================================================

The deadline for the ERA/Doctoral Symposium/Industry/Tool Demo tracks is approaching! Please read below and 
refer to the web page for further information.

================================
IMPORTANT DATES
================================

Abstract submission: June 17, 2013
Full papers submission: June 24, 2013
Notification: July 26, 2013
Camera-ready: August 9, 2013


================================
ERA Track
================================
The goal of the Early Research Achievements (ERA) track is to provide
researchers and practitioners with a forum for presenting great,
promising ideas in early stages of research. These ideas do not
require a strong empirical evaluation! The 2013 ERA track aims to
provide constructive feedback to guide you from your initial idea and
limited evaluation towards a solid ICSM 2014 paper with strong
empirical underpinnings. The topics of interest for this track are the
same as for the main research track, i.e., all the topics in the
research and practice of software maintenance and evolution. Papers
submitted to the ERA track must not have been accepted previously for
publication or submitted for review to another conference, journal, or
book.

Submissions must be in English and conform to the IEEE
proceedings style. They must be four-page long, including all text,
references, appendices, and figures. 
Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their originality,
importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation (if available),
quality and consistency of presentation, and appropriate comparison to
related work. 

Further details are available at:
http://icsm2013.tue.nl/CFP/index.html 


================================
Doctoral Symposium Track
================================

As with previous editions, ICSM 2013 will feature a double doctoral symposium:

Pre-doctoral: The first part is dedicated to PhD students in the midst
of their doctoral studies in the field of software maintenance, who
intend to finish their PhD within the next two years (2014-2015). This
symposium aims to provide PhD students with an opportunity to present
their ongoing work, to interact with other researchers in the field,
and to get constructive feedback from senior researchers. Participants
will discuss their goals, methods, and results at an early stage in
their research. 
For the pre-doctoral symposium the submission should not exceed 4
pages.
Details on the required content are available at:
http://icsm2013.tue.nl/CFP/index.html 
 
Post-doctoral: The second part is dedicated to researchers who have
delivered their PhD dissertations in the area of software maintenance
and evolution within the last 2 years (2011-2012). This symposium aims
to provide a forum for post-docs to present the highlights of their
work to the ICSM community. Moreover, participants will be asked to
reflect on the PhD process itself, and share some lessons learned with
PhD students as well as PhD advisors. 

For the post-doctoral symposium the submission should not exceed 6 pages.
Details on the required content are available at:
http://icsm2013.tue.nl/CFP/index.html 


================================
Industrial Track
================================

This track aims to foster mutually beneficial links between those
engaged in scientific research and practitioners working to improve
software maintenance practices. We are interested in results (both
good and bad), obstacles, and lessons learned. Experiences from
practitioners provide crucial input into future research directions
and allow others to learn from successes and failures. 

For the industry track, we invite submissions of state-of-the-art
practice and experience reports, survey reports from real-world
projects and industrial experiences, and evidence-based
identifications of unsolved research challenges associated to software
maintenance. If you apply in an industrial context a method, model or
tool, which you know was earlier presented at ICSM or other software
engineering conference, we also warmly encourage you to submit to this
track. 

Each submission should describe the problem addressed, the approach
used, the current state of the project, an evaluation of the benefits
or lessons learnt, and future developments. Submissions must be in
English and conform to the IEEE proceedings style. They must be
four-page long, including all text, references, appendices, and
figures.  

Further details are available at:
http://icsm2013.tue.nl/CFP/index.html 


================================
Tool Demo Track
================================
This track provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners 
to present and discuss the most recent advances, experiences, and 
challenges in the field of software maintenance with the goal of allowing 
live presentation of new research tools. Whether the tools are early 
research prototypes or polished tools prepared for commercialization 
(but not yet commercialized), the ICSM demo track provides the perfect 
opportunity to reach an international audience of researchers and 
practitioners, and solicit critical feedback.

This year's demo track consists of demonstrators who get about 15 minutes in  
the conference program for presenting their tool. The presentation should focus  
on the main use cases of and essential concepts behind the tool, and should 
include an actual tool demo of at least 10 minutes. Accepted demos will be 
included in the ICSM proceedings. Demos also require a website and a
4-page proposal.

Participation to the demos requires:
    1) a 4-page proposal (format: IEEE format and template) describing 
        the problem context, a typical usage scenario, existing tools and 
        their shortcomings, the concepts behind the proposed tool, 
        a graphical overview of the tool's architecture, a short discussion 
        of the technologies used for implementation, a summary of experiments 
        or other experiences with the tool, an outline of missing features and 
        other future work, and the URL of the tool's website (see 2.);
    2) a small website (referenced in the proposal) containing the URL 
        of the screencast as well as the download link of the actual tool, together 
        with clear installation instructions.

The proposal should be submitted via EasyChair at
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsmtool2013
The website do NOT need to be submitted via EasyChair, since their URL 
can be found via the proposal. If the tool is not available for download, 
the authors should clearly explain the rationale for this in the proposal.

Each submission will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the tool demo PC. 
Major reviewing criteria are:
    relevance to the ICSM audience
    quality of the proposal
    novelty of the tool
    adherence to the tool demo guidelines

Accepted demos will be allocated 4 pages in the conference proceedings. 
At least one author of each accepted demo must register and attend 
ICSM 2013 for the demo to be published in the proceedings. In addition, 
demonstrators will be expected to give a presentation that will be scheduled 
in the conference program.

Demonstrators are expected to provide their own equipment. Please mention 
supplemental wishes (e.g., Internet access) in a seperate appendix in proposal, 
this appendix will NOT be included in proceedings.

                       *** Submission deadline: June 28, 2013 ***

The first IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT 2013) follows six editions of the IEEE International Workshop on Visualizing Software for Understanding and Analysis (VISSOFT) and five editions of the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization (SOFTVIS). In 2013, these two events will be united in a single top-tier conference on software visualization which is co-located with ICSM 2013.

Software Visualization is a broad research area encompassing techniques that assist in a range of software engineering activities, such as, specification, design, programming, testing, maintenance, reverse engineering and reengineering. Covered methods contain the development and evaluation of approaches for visually analyzing software and software systems, including their structure, execution behavior, and evolution.

In this conference, we focus on visualization techniques that target aspects of software maintenance and evolution, program comprehension, reverse engineering, and reengineering, i.e., how visualization helps programmers to understand, analyze, and evolve software. We aim to gather tool developers, users and researchers from software engineering, information visualization, and human-computer interaction to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and applications related to software visualization. We seek theoretical, as well as practical papers on applications, techniques, tools, case studies, and empirical studies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

* Program visualization
* Visual software analytics
* Network visualizations in software engineering
* Visualization of software documentations
* Visualization of parallel programs
* Visualization-based software in computer science and software engineering education
* Visualization of workflow and business processes
* Integration of software visualization tools and development environments
* Visualization of web services
* Visualization of software evolution
* Visualization of database schemes
* Protocol and log visualization (security, trust)
* Graph algorithms for software visualization
* Visual debugging
* Software visualization on the internet
* Empirical evaluation of software visualization
* Visualization to support program comprehension

In addition to full papers, this edition of VISSOFT features a New Ideas or Emerging Results (NIER) track and a tool-demo track related to the same list of topics suggested above:

* NIER papers (up to 4 pages): The NIER contributions describe work-in-progress and preliminary exciting results which have not been extended to the extent required by a full paper.
* Tool papers (up to 4 pages): Tool contributions describe the design or actual utilization of software visualization tools, with a focus on relevant tool construction aspects.

All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. More information on how to submit a paper including paper formatting can be found here:

event date

Abstract submission June 21, 2013

Full tool paper submission June 25, 2013

Notification July 16, 2013

Camera Ready July 26, 2013

Conference September 22 - 23, 2013

===========================================================================

Conference aims

The aim of this working conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on theory, techniques and applications that concern analysis and/or manipulation of the source code of software systems. The term “source code” refers to any fully executable description of a software system, such as machine code, (very) high level languages and executable graphical representations of systems. The term “analysis” refers to any (semi-)automated procedure that yields insight into source code, while “manipulation” refers to any automated or semi-automated procedure that takes and returns source code.

While much attention in the wider software engineering community is (rightfully!) 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 behaviour of a system. Hence, the analysis and manipulation of source code remains a pressing concern for which SCAM 2013 solicits high quality paper submissions.

Covered topics and paper formats:

We welcome the submission of high quality 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 and refactoring
static and dynamic analysis
source level software metrics
decompilation
bug location and prediction
security and vulnerability analysis
source level testing and verification
concern, concept and feature mining
program comprehension
bad smell detection
abstract interpretation
program slicing
source level optimization
green source code
and much more!

[m2m-atl-dev] 2nd CFP: 1st IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT 2013)

jonas.truemper@xxxxxxx (Jonas Trümper) — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:01:00 GMT

*** apologies for cross-posting ***

Call for Papers: IEEE VISSOFT 2013
----------------------------------

Location: Eindhoven, NL
Date: September 27-28, 2013
Website: http://icsm2013.tue.nl/VISSOFT/

                       *** Paper submission deadline: May 6, 2013 ***

The first IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT 2013) follows six editions of the IEEE International Workshop on Visualizing Software for Understanding and Analysis (VISSOFT) and five editions of the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization (SOFTVIS). In 2013, these two events will be united in a single top-tier conference on software visualization which is co-located with ICSM 2013.

Software Visualization is a broad research area encompassing techniques that assist in a range of software engineering activities, such as, specification, design, programming, testing, maintenance, reverse engineering and reengineering. Covered methods contain the development and evaluation of approaches for visually analyzing software and software systems, including their structure, execution behavior, and evolution.

In this conference, we focus on visualization techniques that target aspects of software maintenance and evolution, program comprehension, reverse engineering, and reengineering, i.e., how visualization helps programmers to understand, analyze, and evolve software. We aim to gather tool developers, users and researchers from software engineering, information visualization, and human-computer interaction to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and applications related to software visualization. We seek theoretical, as well as practical papers on applications, techniques, tools, case studies, and empirical studies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

* Program visualization
* Visual software analytics
* Network visualizations in software engineering
* Visualization of software documentations
* Visualization of parallel programs
* Visualization-based software in computer science and software engineering education
* Visualization of workflow and business processes
* Integration of software visualization tools and development environments
* Visualization of web services
* Visualization of software evolution
* Visualization of database schemes
* Protocol and log visualization (security, trust)
* Graph algorithms for software visualization
* Visual debugging
* Software visualization on the internet
* Empirical evaluation of software visualization
* Visualization to support program comprehension

Papers are solicited that present original, unpublished research results and will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. In addition to full papers, VISSOFT features a New Ideas or Emerging Results (NIER) track and a tool demo track related to the same list of topics suggested above. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. More information on how to submit a paper including paper formatting as well as more information on the NIER and tool demo tracks can be found here:
