ICSR'19 Call for Papers
https://www.uc.edu/eventservices/ICSR2019.html
The International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse (ICSR) is the
premier event in the field of software and systems reuse research,
technology, and practice. The main goal of ICSR is to present the most
recent advances and breakthroughs in the area of software and systems reuse
and to promote an intensive and continuous exchange of ideas among
researchers and practitioners.
The 18th International Conference on Software and Systems Reuse (ICSR 2019)
will be held on June 26-28 in Cincinnati, OH, USA.
We invite submissions on new and innovative research results and industrial
experience papers in the area of software and systems reuse. Submissions
could deal with all aspects of software and systems reuse, including, but
not limited to, the following topics of interest:
-- Approaches facilitating reuse in industry
-- Technical debt and reuse
-- Economic models and metrics to quantify reuse costs and benefits,
including risk analysis
-- Human, social, and legal aspects and distribution issues of reusable
software
-- Domain analysis, context analysis, and architecture-centric reuse
-- Component-based reuse techniques
-- Generative, systematic, and opportunistic reuse
-- Reverse engineering of potentially reusable components
-- Reusability models and metrics
-- Evolution and maintenance of reusable assets
-- Dynamic aspects of reuse (e.g., post-deployment time)
-- Software documentation and reuse of development knowledge (e.g., API
knowledge)
-- Traceability of software artifacts and coarse-grained software reuse
-- Retrieval of reusable artifacts and knowledge in large-scale software
repositories (e.g., open-source and industrial code bases)
-- Reuse in software ecosystems, model-driven engineering,
multi-discipline teams, open-source systems, agile projects, and
safety-critical and mission-critical systems
-- Reuse in emerging practices, e.g., cloud computing, big data
applications, IoT, cyber-physical systems, socio-technical systems, smart
contracts, block chains, etc.
Submission and Publication
We solicit novel and well-founded work in the wider area of software and
systems reuse, with a strong theoretical or empirical foundation and
practical relevance. Theoretical work should introduce innovative ideas and
should be based on a solid theoretical basis. Empirical work such as case
studies and experiments is also welcome. Moreover, work linking academic
research to software and systems reuse in industrial practice, including
reports on practical experience and technology transfer to industry, is
highly encouraged.
The proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag. Submissions must
conform to Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science format. Page limit
is 16 pages for research papers and 10 pages for industry innovation
papers. We also welcome industry practitioners to submit extended abstracts
(2 pages or less) to present their experiences at the conference. Please
use Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icsr2019) for
submission.
Each submitted research paper, industry innovation paper, and extended
abstract will be reviewed by at least three members of the program
committee. We intend to have three awards for this conference: best
research paper, best industry innovation paper, and best industry practice
talk.
Moreover, a prestigious journal in the software engineering domain will
dedicate a special issue on software and systems reuse for which the
authors of selected papers from the conference will be invited to submit an
extended version (containing at least 30% new material). The CFP of the
special issue will be made available on the conference website.
