Call for Papers

CSMR is the premier European Conference on Software Maintenance and
Reengineering. Its purpose is to promote both discussion and interaction
about maintenance
and reengineering.  Topics of interest include, but are not restricted
to:

*        Maintenance and reengineering  metrics and economics
*        Patterns languages for maintenance and reengineering
*        Experience reports on maintenance and reengineering
*        Maintenance and reengineering tools
*        Enabling technologies for maintenance and reengineering
*        Formal methods to support maintenance and reengineering
*        Software evolution and architecture recovery
*        System assessment for reengineering or maintenance
*        Migration and maintenance issues
*        Dealing with legacy systems towards new technologies

One of the basic intentions of this conference is to offer an European
forum for discussion and exchange of experiences among researchers and
practitioners.
Therefore, besides academics, we kindly invite all those in companies
developing maintenance tools, offering reengineering services or going
through legacy systems migration experiences to contribute by submitting
papers or presenting innovative tools, solutions or experience reports.
This conference is not limited to European participants. Authors from
outside Europe are especially welcomed.
