We invite original research papers in all areas of software maintenance, evolution, reengineering, and migration.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Empirical studies in reverse engineering	- Software architecture recovery
- Program comprehension	- Visualization techniques and tools
- Concept and feature location	- Object and aspect identification
- Binary reverse engineering	- Decompilation and binary translation
- Redocumenting legacy systems	- Program analysis and slicing
- Reengineering model-driven architectures	- Reengineering patterns
- User interface reengineering	- Program transformation and refactoring
- Wrapping techniques	- Dynamic analysis
- Preprocessing, parsing and fact extraction	- Data reverse engineering
- Reverse engineering tool support	- Data reverse engineering
- Reengineering to distributed architectures

Technical papers should describe original and significant work in the research and practice of reverse engineering. Papers should be limited to 10 proceedings pages. Papers must not have been previously published nor have been submitted to, or be in consideration for, any journal, book, or other conference. Papers will be evaluated by members of the program committee based on their originality, technical soundness and quality of presentation. Papers must conform to the IEEE proceedings paper format guidelines. If the paper is accepted, at least one author is expected to attend the conference and to present the paper.
