CSMR 2008 Athens Greece

This is a call for workshop session proposals to be considered for the upcoming 12^th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Re-engineering (CSMR 2008) that will be held on April 1-4, 2008 in Athens, Greece. The Workshop sessions are planned to be held on Tuesday April 1, 2008.

To stimulate intensive and interactive discussions on current topics of software evolution, software maintenance and reengineering CSMR is accompanied by a number of workshop sessions. These half- or full day workshop sessions provide collaborative fora for participants to exchange recent and/or preliminary results, to conduct intensive discussions on current topics, or to coordinate common activities. Organizers of workshop sessions are strongly encouraged to propose sessions of special interest and workshops related to the CSMR goals. Please send suggestions to the workshop-chairs before the submissions closing date, indicating the type of session, expected number of participants, organizers’ contact details etc. The workshop session papers should be 2-3 pages long and should include the names and affiliations of the organizers, a description of the discussion topic, the intended audience, and the proposed format of the session. Once the proposal is accepted the organizers should submit a two page workshop session paper describing the nature of the workshop area, related work, and its anticipated impact. The workshop session paper will be part of the CSMR proceedings. Please refer also to the Important Dates page for submission deadlines. The workshop sessions can be half day or full day sessions and are scheduled to be held on Tuesday April 1, 2008.

Workshop session proposals can be on, but not limited to, the following topics:

Tools and methods for designing and implementing evolvable systems	Empirical studies in software re-engineering, maintenance, and evolution
Software architecture evolution	Software maintenance and re-engineering economics
Model Driven and formal methods to support software evolution and maintenance	Evaluation and assessment of reverse engineering and re-engineering tools
