For the technical research track, we invite high quality submissions of papers describing original and unpublished results. We encourage all types of work, whether empirical, theoretical, tool-oriented, or conceptual. We particularly encourage papers describing perspectives on the current state of the art in the field, its research trajectory, and core assumptions that may or may not hold in the future. A healthy research community carefully integrates self as part of its discourse, and experience shows that periodic shifts in foundations are an essential part of progress.

For all types of solicited submissions, the topic should be of direct interest to the maintenance, evolution, migration and reengineering community. A non-limitative list of such topics is given below:

Techniques and Approaches for Software Analysis, Comprehension, and Reconstruction
Program Comprehension
Software Evolution Analysis
Software Architecture Recovery and Reverse Architecting
Program Analysis
Program Transformation and Refactoring
Mining Software Repositories
Software Analytics
Parsing and Fact Extraction
Green Mining
Software Visualization
Software Reverse Engineering and Reengineering
Software Reconstruction and Migration
Language Support for Software Maintenance and Evolution
Process Models for Software Maintenance, Reengineering, and Evolution
Software Release Engineering
Experience Reports related to all of the above topics
Education related to all of the above topics
Tools and Methods supporting all of the above topics

Full paper submissions, not exceeding 10 pages (plus 2 additional pages for references), should be uploaded electronically in PDF format to Easy Chair by November 13th, 2015 AoE (abstracts are due one week earlier on November 6th, 2015 AoE).

Papers must conform to the IEEE proceedings paper format guidelines. Please see IEEE proceedings style.
