Software visualization is a broad research area whose general goal is to enhance and promote the theory, realization, and evaluation of approaches to visually encode and analyze software systems, including software development practices, evolution, structure, and software runtime behavior. Software visualization is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and techniques from information visualization and computer graphics and applying these in the software engineering domain.
The VISSOFT conference is principally a venue for publishing and discussing research related to software visualization. VISSOFT brings together a community of researchers from software engineering, information visualization, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and applications related to software visualization.
This year’s VISSOFT, co-held with ICSME, encourages a variety of submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems using visualization. This includes technical papers, empirical studies, applications, case studies, and papers that present novel ideas and tools.
Submission Guidelines
We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results. Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. In addition to technical papers, VISSOFT features a New Ideas or Emerging Results (NIER) track and a Tools track. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Detailed information on the different submission types is given on the conference web page.
Submissions must be formatted according to the formatting instructions available at the ICSME website and submitted online via the VISSOFT 2018 EasyChair conference management system.
Supplemental material (e.g., video, data, software) that might be helpful for the reviewers can be submitted together with your paper. All material must be included in a single ZIP file. Please note that this supplemental material is independent of the artifact evaluation.
Topics of Interest
- Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for analysis of software engineering data. This includes source code, dependencies, repositories, developer social networks like StackOverflow and GitHub, mobile app reviews, documentation, runtime logs, and DevOps data.
- Visualization to support software development activities, including design, requirements engineering, program comprehension, software testing, and debugging.
- Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization.
- Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education.
- Integration of software visualization tools with development environments.
- Empirical evaluation of software visualizations.
- Industrial experience with using software visualization.
- Applications of new technologies to enhance software visualization, including virtual reality, augmented reality, gamification, and machine learning.
Venue
VISSOFT 2018 will be held at Hotel NH Collection Madrid Suecia, a five-star hotel close to the ICSME 2018 venue.
