Call for Papers and Tool Demo Proposals - SCAM 2009

9th IEEE International Working Conference on
Source Code Analysis and Manipulation
20th - 21st, September 2009
Edmonton, Canada
Co-located with ICSM 2009

http://www2009.ieee-scam.org/
-------------------------------------------------------


--------------
Conference aims:
--------------
The aim of this working conference is to bring together researchers and
practitioners working on theory, techniques and applications which
concern analysis and/or manipulation of the source code of computer
systems. While much attention in the wider software engineering
community is properly directed towards other aspects of systems
development and evolution, such as specification, design and
requirements engineering, it is the source code that contains the only
precise description of the behaviour of the system. The analysis and
manipulation of source code thus remains a pressing concern.

---------------------------------
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
       * abstract interpretation
       * program slicing
       * source level software metrics
       * decompilation
       * source level testing and verification
       * source level optimization
       * program comprehension

Submitted papers should not be longer than 10 pages. We also welcome
submission of 2 page proposals for tool demonstrations expected to be
performed live at the conference. All papers submitted should follow
IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines. The papers
should be submitted electronically via the conference web site.

------------
Proceedings:
------------
All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings which will be
published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Best papers from SCAM 2009
will be considered for revision, extension, and publication in a special
issue of of the Software Quality Journal.
