| - | **====== Call for Papers ======** | + | ====== Call for Papers ====== |
| - | + | The VEM is a forum dedicated to discuss and reflect on alternatives to perform visualization, evolution and maintenance systems. | |
| - | ===== Overview ===== | + | |
| - | With the steady growth of software projects, along with the vast processing power of computers, new research has been developed to allow a better understanding of the structure, behavior and evolution of software process and product. This research makes use of visualization tools and techniques applied in the context of software, encouraging the rise of the software visualization field. | + | ===== Important Dates ===== |
| - | Software visualization uses visual abstractions to represent various properties of software systems, in order to reveal patterns and behaviors that otherwise would remain hidden. For this reason, the design and use of visual resources are very important for software engineering. | + | * Paper Submission: 30 June 2014 ([[http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/usa/baker-island|Anywhere on Earth]]) |
| + | * Authors Notification: 15 July 2014 | ||
| + | * Final version of the Papers (camera-ready): 23 July 2014 | ||
| + | * Workshop: 28 September 2014 | ||
| - | It is noteworthy that software visualization is an area of direct or indirect interest of to a large part of the software community. Some software engineering areas, such as testing, configuration management, architecture, development environments, among others, are potential users of techniques for visualizing software. | + | ===== Motivation ===== |
| - | Software visualization is a specialization of information visualization. The synergy with the information visualization community is a successful strategy for using resources already established in the latter. For this reason, issues related to information visualization are also included in the workshop topics of interest. | ||
| - | Topics of Interest | ||
| - | WBVS topics of interest include, amongst others: | + | The growing need to maintain and evolve software systems is a major challenge in modern software engineering. Several studies show that software evolution or maintenance tasks have been responsible for a considerable cost on the development process, reaching in some cases, 90% of the total cost. Evolving complex software systems, however, requires advanced means for understanding the software artifacts to be modified. Software comprehension is a non-trivial task. Software visualization relies on the use of visual resources to facilitate software comprehension, either through the analysis of a single system version or the system entire version history. Due to this clear intersection of the research challenges involving the areas of Software Visualization, Software Evolution, and Software Maintenance, there is a need for a joint forum to discuss these challenges together. The second Workshop on Software Visualization, Maintenance, and Evolution (VEM 2014) aims at bringing together the research communities interested in topics related to Software Visualization, Software Evolution, and Software Maintenance to share and discuss ideas, strengthen research group collaborations and identify new research opportunities. |

| - | ===== Submission Instructions ===== | ||
| + | ===== Topics of interest===== | ||
| + | Topics of interest are related to several research challenges in Software Visualization, Software Evolution, and Software Maintenance. They include, but are not limited to: | ||
| - | Submissions must be written in Portuguese or English. All submissions must be formatted according to the SBC template (available at http://www.sbc.org.br/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=195&task=finish&cid=38&catid=32). Each paper will be evaluated by at least three members of the program committee. There will be three types of paper submission: | + | * Processes of software maintenance and evolution |
| - | + | * Metrics and assessment of evolving software | |
| - | Full papers (up to 8 pages), showing results of interest for the advancement of research in the field. | + | * Empirical studies about software visualization, evolution, and maintenance |
| - | + | * Maintenance and evolution of Web applications | |
| - | Short papers (up to 4 pages), featuring innovative ideas or work in an initial state. | + | * Maintenance and evolution of applications in the cloud |
| - | + | * Software architecture, product lines, components and frameworks | |
| - | Challenge papers (up to 2 pages): Researchers and enthusiasts in software visualization are challenged to demonstrate the applicability of their tools in a software project selected for this purpose, summarizing their findings in a challenge paper. The Demoiselle open source framework (http://www.frameworkdemoiselle.gov.br) is the subject of the challenge in this edition of WBVS. Interested parties are invited to use their tools, concepts and techniques to reveal interesting data about this framework, and present them through visual abstractions. | + | * Aspect orientation, feature orientation, and generative programming |
| - | + | * Tools and environments for software maintenance and evolution | |
| - | The judgment of full and short papers will be according to the following criteria: Originality and Timeliness, Technical Basis and Contribution, Relevance to the Call for Papers and Readability, Organization and Presentation. Moreover, the judgment of challenge papers will be according to the following criteria: Degree of Innovation, Practical Utility, Relevance to the Call for Papers and Readability, Organization and Presentation. After the judgment, there will be a consensus to resolve any possible discrepancies in evaluation. | + | * Reverse engineering, reengineering, and refactoring |
| - | + | * Static and dynamic analysis | |
| - | The experimental evaluation of the results is desirable, but not a precondition for paper submission to the workshop. Papers with innovative and promising proposals are welcome. It is strongly recommended that all technical papers present comparisons with related work in the area. Theoretical papers should emphasize the contribution to the practice of software visualization. Papers on practical experiments should describe the employed method and interpret the qualitative and/or quantitative results. | + | * Migration of legacy software systems |
| - | + | * Static and dynamic software visualization | |
| - | All submissions should be sent electronically via JEMS system (https://submissoes.sbc.org.br) until the deadline for submission. One of the authors must present the paper at the workshop. Finally, authors should comply with the dates for submission of the final versions, as well as the registration in the workshop as a condition for the inclusion of the paper in the proceedings. | + | * Views in integrated development environments |
| + | * Computational Reflection and Metaprogramming | ||
| + | * Education of software visualization, evolution, and maintenance | ||
