Call for Papers Third International Workshop on Software Clones (IWSC2009) March 24, 2009 Kaiserslautern, Germany In conjunction with CSMR 2009 http://www.informatik.uni-bremen.de/st/IWSC/
Software clones are identical or similar pieces of code. They are often a result of copying and pasting as an act of ad-hoc reuse by programmers. Software clones research is of high relevance for industry. Many researchers have reported high rates of cloning in both industrial as well as open-source systems.
The purpose of the workshop is, essentially, to solidify and give shape to this research area and community. More specifically, the goals are to bring together researchers in order to evaluate the current state of research, discuss common problems, discover new opportunities for collaboration, exchange ideas, and envision new areas of research, applications, empirical research, and approaches.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Definition of software similarity and clones - Types, distribution, and nature of clones in software systems - Techniques for software clone management - Clone and pattern detection techniques and algorithms - Clone/redundancy and pattern visualization methods and tools - Evaluation and benchmarking issues - Language design and modeling techniques for redundancy elimination - Evolution of clones - Clone-based software refactoring - Clone-based systems analysis - Clone analysis in families of similar systems - Industry experiences of clone management
We aim at research papers limited to 5 pages and position papers limited to 1 page. Submissions must adhere to the IEEE two-column proceedings format (http://www.computer.org/portal/pages/cscps/cps/cps_forms.html). These papers must present novel ideas and open issues, or represent important viewpoints on the field. They must be relevant contributions to reach the goal of this workshop. Papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the workshop program committee.
Accepted research and position papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of CSMR as a Fraunhofer publication with an ISBN. Additionally, they will be made available electronically on the workshop's web site. Authors of selected papers will be invited to present their work during the workshop and/or act as discussion group leaders during workshop sessions.
