Special Issue Call for Papers:
Source code is the version of software as it is originally written by a human in plain text. It is the source code that contains the only precise description of the behavior of a software system. For this special issue, we encourage submission of papers that describe original, high-quality, empirically and/or theoretically validated work in source code analysis and manipulation.
We solicit papers that report on the design and implementation of tools for source code analysis and manipulation, as well as libraries, infrastructure, and the real world studies enabled by these advances.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
– program transformation and refactoring
– static and dynamic analysis
– natural language analysis of source code artifacts
– repository, revision, and change analysis
– source level metrics
– decompilation
– bug location and prediction
– security vulnerability analysis
– source-level testing and verification
– clone detection
– concern, concept, and feature localization and mining
– program comprehension
– bad smell detection
– abstract interpretation
– program slicing
– source level optimization
– energy efficient source code
Submission guidelines
All manuscripts should follow the guidelines for publishing in the Journal of Systems and Software, available at https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-systems-and-software. Authors should select “SI:SCAM2019”, from the \”Choose Article Type\” pull-down menu during the submission process.
Submitted papers must be original, must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage submission of extended papers from the 19th IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM 2019), including papers from the research, engineering, and RENE tracks. In case a paper has been already presented at SCAM 2019 conference, it should be extended by at least 30% of new material different from the original work.
Important Dates
