The 10th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering

WCRE 2003 Victoria, British Columbia, Canada November 13 - 16, 2003

Call for Papers -------------------------------------------------------------------

The Working Conference on Reverse Engineering (WCRE) is the premier research conference on the theory and practice of recovering information from existing systems. Now preparing to hold our tenth meeting, we explore innovative methods of extracting the many kinds of information that can be recovered from the data, software, and other components that comprise systems, and examine innovative ways of using this information in system understanding, renovation, and system reengineering. Topics discussed at WCRE include but are not limited to:

* Software maintenance & evolution * Program analysis and slicing * Decompilation & binary translation * Refactoring * Program comprehension * Program transformations * Software architecture extraction * Cluster and concept analysis * Requirements reengineering * Object identification * Software migrations * Browsing & searching legacy sys. * User interface reengineering * Software visualization * Web-enabling legacy systems * XML, meta-data, and data-exchange * Web-site reverse engineering * Reverse engineering tool support * Transitioning to product lines * Documentation generation * Data reverse engineering * Formal methods for rev. eng. * Experience reports * Programming knowledge * Reengineering patterns representations * Collaborative reengr efforts * Requirements traceability * Software process implications * Dynamic analysis * Reverse engineering economics * UML and round trip engineering * Preprocessing and parsing * Software metrics * Software components * Migration to model-driven * Web services architectures * Reverse engr in homeland security -------------------------------------------------------------------

Submission of Papers

Papers should describe original and significant work in the research and practice of reverse engineering. Papers should be limited to 10 proceedings pages. Papers must not have been previously published nor have been submitted to, or be in consideration for, any journal, book, or other conference. Papers must conform to the IEEE paper guidelines. WCRE 2003 is using an electronic submission process.
