Call for Papers
13th International Workshop on Software Clones (IWSC 2019)
Co-located with the 26th IEEE International Conference on Software
Analysis, Evolution, and Reengineering (SANER 2019)
February 24th, 2019, HangZhou, China
Software clones are often a result of copying and pasting as an act of
ad-hoc reuse by programmers, and can occur at many levels, from simple
statement sequences to blocks, methods, classes, source files,
subsystems, models, architectures and entire designs, and in all
software artifacts (code, models, requirements or architecture
documentation, etc.). Software clone research is of high relevance for
software engineering research and practice today.
IWSC series of events has provided a common forum for this important
research area as it continues to grow in application breadth and
technical depth. IWSC aims to bring researchers and practitioners to
evaluate the current state of research, discuss common problems and
emerging directions. Also, we are interested in discussing and spreading
practical applications of clone technologies. Further details about IWSC 2019
are here on this website
(https://iwsc2019.github.io/).
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Topics of interest include but not restricted to the following aspects
of software clone research:
- Use cases for clones and clone management in the software lifecycle
- Experiences with clones and clone management in practice
- Types and nature of clones in software systems
- Causes and effects of clones
- Techniques and algorithms for clone detection, search, analysis, and management
- Clone and clone pattern visualization
- Tools and systems for detecting software clones
- Applications of clone detection and analysis
- System architecture and clones
- Effect of clones to system complexity and quality
- Clone analysis in families of similar systems
- Measures of code similarity
- Economic and trade-off models for clone removal
- Evaluation and benchmarking of detection methods
- Licensing and plagiarism issues
- Clone-aware software design and development
- Refactoring through clone analysis
- Higher-level clones in models and designs
- Clone evolution and variation
- Role of clones in software system evolution
PAPERS SOUGHT:
Each paper will be reviewed by at least three members of the program
committee following a full double-blind process. Authors must adhere
to SANER's double blind guidelines -
