Call for Research and Engineering Track Papers
The 18th IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM 2018) aims 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 analysis and manipulation of source code remains a pressing concern for which SCAM 2018 solicits high quality paper submissions. For the third year, SCAM also features an Engineering track, which solicits artifacts, tools, data, and real world case studies.
Covered Topics and Paper Formats
We welcome submission of 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
- natural language analysis of source code artifacts
- repository, revision, and change analysis
- source level metrics
- decompilation
- bug location and prediction
- security vulnerability analysis
- source-level testing and verification
- clone detection
- concern, concept, and feature localization and mining
- program comprehension
- bad smell detection
- abstract interpretation
- program slicing
- source level optimization
- energy efficient source code
SCAM explicitly solicits results from any theoretical or technological domain that can be applied to these and similar topics. Submitted research papers should be 10 pages and describe original, unpublished, and significant work. Submitted engineering papers should be 6 pages and describe a dataset, tool, or case study. Both formats must conform to the IEEE proceedings paper format guidelines, and must not have been previously accepted for publication nor be concurrently submitted for review in another journal, book, conference, or workshop. All submissions must be in English.
The papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=scam2018. Submissions will be judged on their novelty, quality, importance, evaluation, and scientific rigor. Papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. If the paper is accepted, at least one author must attend the conference and present the paper.
Proceedings
All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings which will be available through the IEEE Digital Library.
Special Issue
A set of the best papers from both tracks will be invited to be considered for revision, extension, and publication in a special issue of the Journal of Systems and Software, published by Elsevier (currently under negotiation).
