20th IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation - New Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER) track http://www.ieee-scam.org/2020/#niercall ==== CALL FOR PAPERS ==== The SCAM New Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER) track is looking for submissions. Do you have a new idea that you’d like to present and discuss with the SCAM community? Are there challenges to pursuing a new line of research that could be ameliorated through discussion with other scientists? Then you should submit to the SCAM NIER track! We aim to foster a forum for discussion of new ideas and challenges in the area of source code analysis and manipulation. We welcome the submission of papers that describe original and significant work in the field of source code analysis and manipulation. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - program transformation and refactoring - static and dynamic analysis - natural language analysis of source code artifacts - repository, revision, and change analysis - source-level metrics - decompilation - bug location and prediction - security vulnerability analysis - source-level testing and verification - clone detection - concern, concept, and feature localization and mining - program comprehension - bad smell detection - abstract interpretation - program slicing - source-level optimization - energy efficient source code Important Dates: **All submission dates are at 23:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth, UTC-12)** Abstract Deadline: August 14th, 2020 Paper Deadline: August 21st, 2020 Author Notification: September 16th, 2020 Program Committee: Mike Papadakis, University of Luxembourg Michael J.
