18th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering, Lero, Ireland

The 18th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering will take place from 17 to 20 October 2011 in Lero, Ireland.

Reverse engineering is defined as the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation.

The conference will look at innovative methods of extracting the many kinds of information that can be recovered from software, software engineering documents, and systems artefacts. It will also look at ways of using this information in system renovation and program understanding.

Topics set to be covered during the event include:
- programme comprehension;
- mining software repositories;
- software architecture recovery;
- empirical studies in reverse engineering;
- concept and feature location;
- object and aspect identification;
- redocumenting legacy systems;
- reengineering patterns;
- user interface reengineering;
- dynamic analysis;
- reverse engineering for security assessment;
- reverse engineering tool support;
- education in reverse engineering;
- reverse engineering of service-oriented systems;
- performance re-engineering.For further information, please visit: http://www.cs.wm.edu/semeru/wcre2011/(opens in new window)
