1a CFP VEM 2023 (CBSOFT): 11th Workshop on Software Visualization, Evolution and Maintenance (VEM 2023)



1a CALL FOR PAPERS VEM 2023


11th Workshop on Software Visualization, Evolution and Maintenance (VEM 2023)

https://vemworkshop.github.io/vem2023


The 11th Workshop on Software Visualization, Maintenance and Evolution (VEM 2023) aims at fostering the integration of the software visualization, evolution and maintenance communities, providing a forum where researchers and practitioners from academia and industry can present their work and exchange ideas on the principles, practices, and innovations related to their respective areas of interest. VEM is also a great opportunity for strengthening research group collaborations and identifying new research opportunities.

In 2023, VEM will be held in a virtual format for the second time. VEM is co-located with the 14th Brazilian Conference on Software: Theory and Practice (CBSoft 2023).

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Continuous integration and deployment

  • Education on software maintenance and evolution

  • Human aspects of software maintenance and evolution

  • Industrial experience with using software visualization

  • Integration of software visualization tools with development environments

  • Mining software repositories

  • New technologies applied to software visualization

  • Program comprehension

  • Program repair

  • Software analytics

  • Software architecture

  • Software evolution analysis

  • Software migration and renovation

  • Software quality

  • Software refactoring and restructuring

  • Software reverse engineering and reengineering

  • Software testing and debugging

  • Source code analysis and manipulation

  • Source code change analysis

  • Source code readability and legibility

  • Static and dynamic source code visualization

  • Sustainable Software Engineering

  • Visualization of or to support software development activities (e.g., software testing)

  • Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education

Papers presenting studies, tools, datasets, or innovative ideas are welcome. Experimental evaluation of new tools and ideas is desirable, but it is not a precondition to submitting a paper to the workshop. VEM encourages the submission of research in progress and preliminary results.



Open Science Policy


Openness in science is the key to fostering progress via transparency, reproducibility, and replicability. Ideally, all research output should be accessible to the public, and all empirical studies should be reproducible. VEM 2023 encourages authors to disclose: 1) the source code of relevant software used or proposed in the paper, including that used to retrieve and analyze data, 2) the data used and/or produced in the paper, and 3) instructions for other researchers describing how to reproduce or replicate the results.



Reviewing Process


Evaluation Criteria


The evaluation criteria include the following aspects:

  • Clarity of the paper

  • Novelty of the contribution

  • Relevance to software visualization, evolution, or maintenance

  • Soundness of the methodology

  • Quality of evaluation (if applicable)

  • Open science and ability to replicate*

* VEM 2023 encourages authors to make their artifacts open and accessible for the sake of good science. Papers will not be rejected if authors do not follow the recommendation of disclosing artifacts, but doing so might be one (but not the only one) positive factor for reviewers to recommend acceptance.

 

Double-Blind Review Process


VEM 2023 will employ a double-blind review process. Both the authors and the reviewers must make every effort to honor the double-blind review process. Authors should check the submission guidelines below. Reviewers should not search for the title of the submitted papers on the Internet nor try to deduce the authors of the papers.



Submission Guidelines **UPDATED INFO**


Papers can be written in Portuguese or English (Portuguese papers do not need an English abstract). Submissions in English are strongly encouraged so that your research can be accessed by non-Portuguese speaking researchers.


Submissions must be no longer than 5 pages, including all text, tables, figures, appendices, and references. All papers must be submitted in PDF Format and formatted with the ACM 2-column conference format available at ACM template for VEM. LaTeX users must use the sample-vem.tex file as the main.tex file. Word users should use interim-layout-vem.docx.


Submissions must not reveal the authors' identities for the double-blind review process. In particular, the authors' names and affiliations must be omitted on the title page and headers of the paper, and references to their prior work should be in the third person. If you want to make available any artifact in time for submission, please make it anonymous. There are existing tools for doing that easily. For instance, Anonymous GitHub is an free/open-source tool that helps you quickly double-blind GitHub repositories. VEM encourages authors to make artifacts publicly available. If the authors want to do so but do not want to take the risk to break the double-blind review process, they are invited to add the artifacts' links in the camera-ready versions in case of paper acceptance.


Papers must be submitted electronically through JEMS. Submitted papers must be unpublished and should not be under review elsewhere.


Presentation and Publication


Upon notification of acceptance, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare their camera-ready versions. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and present the paper at the VEM 2023 workshop. All accepted and presented papers will be published in the workshop electronic proceedings, available in the SBC OpenLib (SOL) digital library.



Best Paper Award


Outstanding papers will be considered for receiving an award. Awarded papers will be announced during the workshop. Their authors will be invited to submit an extended version in English to the Journal of Software Engineering Research and Development (JSERD).

A Gamificação da Academia, por Sean Flaherty e Gregg Gordon

Na academia, o ethos deveria ser sobre a busca incansável e descomprometida pela verdade acima de tudo, especialmente quando a verdade é desconfortável. A verdade, ou melhor, 'Veritas', é o lema de Harvard. Idealizamos os mártires da academia na história, como Galileo Galilei, que descobriu as evidências científicas para a teoria copernicana do movimento planetário e passou o resto de sua vida em prisão domiciliar por desafiar a doutrina de sua época. Sabemos o quão importante é a integridade acadêmica, no entanto, muitos estão dispostos a trapacear quando as métricas acadêmicas são gamificadas e os jogadores entendem as mecânicas do jogo. Táticas de gamificação em sistemas que conectam o trabalho do mundo real com ferramentas online podem distorcer os comportamentos das pessoas em qualquer ecossistema. A academia, em particular, é suscetível a esse fenômeno. Isso se deve à natureza da indústria ou é simplesmente um artefato da natureza humana em escala? Yashihiro Sato, que est...

Workshop de Computação Aplicada em Governo Eletrônico - WCGE 2024

WCGE 2024 O Workshop de Computação Aplicada em Governo Eletrônico é um fórum para apresentação e discussão de técnicas, metodologias, modelos e ferramentas de TICs para apoio a iniciativas de Governo Eletrônico. Este workshop, que vem crescendo muito e tem recebido cada vez mais trabalhos multidisciplinares, traz para a Sociedade Brasileira de Computação um olhar sociotécnico sobre a manipulação e uso de informações e sistemas governamentais. Isso se deve ao fato de que a computação está sendo cada vez mais utilizada para promover e escalar grandes ações de planejamento, análise, transformação e comunicação em todas as áreas e instâncias de governo, incluindo os poderes executivo, legislativo e judiciário, e em níveis municipal, estadual e federal. Além disso, leis como a LAI (Lei de Acesso à Informação), a LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) e, mais recentemente, a Lei do Governo Digital definem e direcionam o Governo para sua completa digitalizaç...
