Dear colleague: We would like to invite you to participate in the Seventh European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering, which will be held in Benevento, Italy, March 26-28, 2003, and to submit a paper. ======================================================================== (Please apologize for multiple copies) Seventh European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering Benevento, Italy March 26-28, 2003 http://rcost.unisannio.it/csmr2003 CALL FOR PAPERS CSMR is the premier European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering. Its purpose is to promote both discussion and interaction about evolution, maintenance and reengineering. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: Evolution, maintenance and reengineering: + pattern languages + experience reports (successes and failures) + tools + enabling technologies + formal methods + system assessment + web-site Metrics and economics Software evolution and architecture recovery Migration and maintenance issues Dealing with legacy systems towards new technologies Wrapping and interfacing legacy systems Data reengineering Reverse engineering of embedded (control, mobile, ...) systems Evaluation and assessment of reverse engineering tools One of the basic intentions of this conference is to offer a 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 also welcomed. SUBMISSIONS: ============ IEEE Computer Society Press will publish the CSMR 2003 Proceedings. Two types of submissions will be accepted: full length papers (not exceeding 10 proceeding pages, IEEE Style) and short papers (not exceeding 4 proceeding pages, IEEE Style). All papers must be in English. Authors are requested to submit electronically a PostScript or PDF version of their papers.
