Conference Description:
Program comprehension is a vital software engineering and maintenance activity. It is necessary to facilitate reuse, inspection, maintenance, reverse engineering, reengineering, migration, and extension of existing software systems. ICPC (formerly IWPC) provides an opportunity for researchers and industry practitioners to present and discuss both the state of the art and the state of the practice in the general area of program comprehension.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Cognitive theories for program comprehension, including experiments and case studies
Individual, team, collaborative, distributed, and adversarial program comprehension
Comprehension of specific types of software systems, such as web-based systems, open source, mash-ups, legacy systems, product lines, and systems of systems
Comprehension in the context of diverse software process models and specific lifecycle activities, such as: maintenance, reengineering, migration, security, auditing, and testing
Novel interfaces to support program comprehension, including searching, browsing and visualization
Empirical evaluations of program comprehension tools, techniques, and approaches
Comprehension and legal issues, such as due diligence, intellectual property, reverse engineering, and litigation
Issues and case studies in the transfer of program comprehension technology to industry
Tool support for program comprehension
