CSMR 2009: Technical Program (PDF)
The European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering (CSMR) is the premier European conference on the theory and practice of maintenance, reengineering and evolution of software systems. Over the years, it has attracted high quality papers from both, industry and academia. CSMR promotes discussion and interaction among researchers and practitioners about the development of maintainable systems, and the evolution, migration and reengineering of existing ones. CSMR is not limited to European participants. Participants from non-European countries are also encouraged to participate.
More information on the history of the CSMR conference and links to past venues can be found at http://www.csmr.eu.

As the premier European forum for discussing theory and practice of maintenance, reengineering, and evolution of software systems, CSMR promotes discussion and interaction among researchers and practitioners regarding the development of maintainable systems as well as the evolution, migration, and reengineering of existing systems. As highlights, we are happy to announce two invited keynote talks that will be given by two well-known, distinguished researchers: Prof. Dr. Dieter Rombach and Prof. Dr. Tibor Gyimothy. The technical program (see at a glance or the detailed program) covers a wide range of current research activities in maintenance and reengineering and features 22 technical research papers and 9 short papers. Furthermore, CSMR 2009 hosts a doctoral symposium, an industrial track, a tool track, and two workshops on hot community topics. And for the first time ever, CSMR 2009 introduces a special track on research projects in Europe presenting interesting ongoing research in our field.

The 13th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering (CSMR 2009) is sponsored by the Reengineering Forum (REF) in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Technical Council on Software Engineering (TCSE) with participation from Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE), University of Szeged, University of Koblenz-Landau, and Gesellschaft fuer Informatik e.V. with its Fachbereich Softwaretechnik and Fachgruppe Software Reengineering.
