14th WORKSHOP SOFTWARE-REENGINEERING
   GI Special Interest Group Software Reengineering (SRE)
    Gesellschaft fuer Informatik (German CS Association)

             Bad-Honnef, Germany, 2-4 May 2012

             http://www.fg-sre.gi-ev.de/wsr2012

       *** Deadline for submissions: 16 March 2012 ***


Goals of the workshop
=====================

Software Reengineering comprises all activities that aim at
examination and alteration of a software system to reconstitute
it in a new form.

The main goal of the Workshop Software Reengineering (WSR) is to
bring together different working groups from academia and industry
that work in the fields of software reengineering and maintenance.

Everyone working in this field is invited to present his/her current
activities or results. Practitioners' experience reports are as
welcome as scientific projects and results.

Possible topics include (but are not limited to):

  Methods and process models
    * Methods and models for software reengineering
    * Process models for software renovation, migration, and maintenance
    * Embedding reengineering activities into software development

  Reengineering tools
    * Tools for program comprehension, redocumentation, software
      visualization, static and dynamic program analysis, software
      test, software maintenance, program transformation
    * Interoperability between software reengineering and
      development tools

  Software migration
    * Migration strategies and transformation approaches
    * Migration to service-oriented architectures (SOA)
    * Migration to product line architectures

  Architecture reengineering
    * Architecture reconstruction, assessment, migration

  Software quality
    * Approaches for assessing software quality
    * Improving software quality by reengineering

  Economical aspects of reengineering
    * Organizational aspects of reengineering projects
    * Cost-effectiveness analysis of reengineering
    * Quality monitoring of reengineering actions
    * Effort estimation for reengineering projects

  Experience reports
    * Experience reports about maintenance activities,
      migration and reengineering projects


Joint sessions with other special interest groups
=================================================

This WSR is organized conjointly with two other GI special
interest groups:

  - TAV - Test, Analysis and Verification
    http://www.fg-tav.gi-ev.de/fg-tav/treffen/33-tav.html

  - Working group "long-living software systems" - Design For Future 2012
    http://akl2s2.ipd.kit.edu/veranstaltungen/dff2012/

Therefore, we specially encourage submissions that show up commonalities
and connections between these areas of interest.

Possible topics for joint sessions include:
    * Test for validation of reengineering
    * Code analyses that support testing activities
    * Usage of testing techniques for program comprehension
    * Co-evolution of requirements, architecture, implementation
      and test cases
    * Agile methods (test-driven design, continuous reengineering)
    * Quality assurance in development and evolution of long-living
      software systems

The joint sessions are planned for May 3rd 2012.


Meeting of SRE special interest group members
=============================================

The yearly meeting of the SRE special interest group will also take
place during the workshop.


Where and when
==============

The workshop will take place in the "Physikzentrum" in Bad Honnef
(Germany) from 2 till 4 May 2012. The main workshop language is
