Call for Papers

6th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering
(WCRE'99)

October 6th - October 8th, 1999
Atlanta, Georgia USA

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:

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.
