CALL FOR PAPERS:
Journal of Software: Evolution and Process (JSEP) SPECIAL ISSUE on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation * Submission deadline: 27th January, 2013 * ---------------- THEME AND TOPICS ---------------- This special issue provides researchers and practitioners with an opportunity to present 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. In this special issue we welcome contributions 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 ----------- SUBMISSION ----------- The deadline for submissions is 27th January, 2013. We solicit high-quality papers on these themes and topics to appear in this special issue. This call for papers is open to all potential authors, in addition to those of extended submissions from the 12th IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM 2012 http://www2012.ieee-scam.org/) All submitted papers will undergo a rigorous peer review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three reviewers and will be selected based on originality, quality, soundness and relevance. In particular, the extended paper from SCAM2012 should be non-trivially extended from the version that appears in the conference (at a very minimum it should contain 30% new material). Authors will be asked to write an accompanying letter explaining how their conference paper has been extended to meet this requirement and how referees' comments and the discussion during the conference about their work have been addressed. Please submit your paper electronically using the Journal of Software: Evolution and Process manuscript submission site. Select "Special Issue Paper" and enter "Source Code Analysis and Manipulation" as title (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jsme). Submissions should be formatted according to the Journal of Software: Evolution and Process guidelines (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)2047-7481/homepage/ForAuthors.html). -------------- Guest Editors -------------- Mariano Ceccato, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Italy Zheng Li, Beijing University of Chemical Technology, China James R.
