----------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Working Conference on Reverse Engineering (WCRE) is the premier
research-oriented conference dedicated to the theory and practice of
recovering knowledge from existing source code and related documents.
The purpose of WCRE is to explore innovative methods of extraction,
representation, and use of this knowledge.


TOPICS OF INTEREST


Topics of WCRE'99 include, but are not limited to, the following
research
directions in reverse engineering:


      * Program understanding
      * Software evolution and reengineering
      * Year 2000 and Euro reengineering and related issues
      * Integration of reverse engineering and forward engineering
      * Data reengineering
      * Techniques, tools, and enabling technologies for reengineering, reverse
          engineering, renovation, reuse, and migration
      * Code-based management systems to support reverse engineering
      * Formal methods in reverse engineering
      * Domain modeling to support reverse engineering
      * Wrapping and interfacing legacy systems
      * User interface reengineering
      * Reverse engineering from binaries rather than source
      * Software visualization
      * Empirical studies of software and evolution histories
      * Reengineering patterns
      * Reengineering economics
      * Experience reports (successes and failures) on reverse engineering or
          reengineering efforts


SUBMISSION OF PAPERS


Papers should describe original and significant work in the research
and practice of reverse engineering. Papers should be limited to 10
proceedings pages, at most 6000 words. Papers must not have been
previously published nor have been submitted to, or be in
consideration for, any journal, book, or other conference. All papers
should explicitly state the goals of tools or approaches described and
should use accepted, standard terminology (ref. IEEE Software,
January 1990; see the on-line reverse engineering taxonomy for more
detail). Authors are requested to explicitly present their validation
for any ideas or tools they are presenting. At least one author of
each accepted paper must attend the conference.


WCRE'99 strongly encourages electronic submissions. To submit a paper,
please send an electronic mail message to wcre-submit@cc.gatech.edu.
Please, do not include the paper in the message. By return mail you
will receive instructions on how to ftp your submission.


Papers should be in the IEEE proceedings format and sent as a single
Postscript file that conforms to the IEEE Postscript submission
guidelines (LaTeX users should use the standand IEEE proceedings
format style file). Contact one of the Program Chairs before sending
other file types.


All submissions must be viewable and printable with Ghostview, version
1.5.


WCRE is a discussion-oriented working conference. Paper presentations
have a strict time limit (20 minutes each), followed by open joint
discussion of the topic area and several papers presented.


IMPORTANT DATES


Deadline for papers: April 30, 1999
Notification of acceptance: June 18, 1999
Camera ready copies due: July 16, 1999
