| - | **Under Construction!** | + | 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 | ||
| - | VEM 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. |
