VISSOFT 2015 - Call for Papers: New Ideas or Emerging Results and Tool Demos
3rd IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT)
September 27-28, 2015, Bremen, Germany
Paper submission date: June 29, 2015
Notification: July 31, 2015

Software visualization is a broad research area encompassing concepts, methods,
tools, and techniques that assist in a range of software engineering and
software development activities. Covered aspects include the development and
evaluation of approaches for visually analyzing software and software systems,
including their structure, execution behavior, and evolution.
The VISSOFT IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization continues the
history of the ACM SOFTVIS Symposium on Software Visualization and the IEEE
VISSOFT International Workshop on Visualizing Software for Understanding and
Analysis. The conference focuses on visualization techniques that target
aspects of software maintenance and evolution, program comprehension, reverse
engineering, and reengineering, i.e., how visualization helps professionals to
understand, analyze, test and evolve software. We aim to gather tool
developers, experts, users, and researchers from software engineering,
information visualization, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction to
discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and
applications related to software visualization.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for software
engineering data, such as,
- source code
- static and dynamic dependencies
- software evolution and repositories
- software documentation
- web services
- protocol, log, and performance data
- parallel techniques
- database schemes
- software security and privacy issues
- workflow and business processes
* Visualization to support program comprehension, software testing, and
debugging
* Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization
* Visualization-based techniques in computer science and software engineering
education
* Integration of software visualization tools and development environments
* Empirical evaluation of software visualization
* Industrial experience on using software visualization
VISSOFT features a New Ideas or Emerging Results (NIER) track and a Tool Demo
track related to the list of topics suggested above. Papers are solicited that
present original, unpublished research results and will be rigorously reviewed
by an international program committee.
The NIER contributions (New Ideas and Emerging Results) describe
work-in-progress and preliminary exciting results. Authors should include open
questions and even provocative hypotheses to get early feedback on their
research ideas or even support through new research collaborations.
Tool contributions describe the design or actual utilization of software
visualization tools, with a focus on relevant tool construction aspects or the
use of the tool for gaining new insights. Authors should be prepared to
demonstrate their tool at the conference. The submission may also contain a
link to a screencast (video).
All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE
Digital Library.
