The ACM SAC track on Code Analysis and Software Mining (CASM'20)

March 30 - April 3, 2020 - Brno, Czech Republic

Scope & Topics

The objective of CASM track is to provide researchers and software developers the opportunity to present their observations, experiences, and research in the area of code analysis and software mining. The aim is to provide this novel topic to ACM SAC, which is not currently sufficiently covered. The area is broad, covering code transformation, static and dynamic code analysis, bytecode analysis, user interface derivation, automated test extraction, quality assurance, clone detection, inconsistency detection, security reviews, API dependency mining, control-flow modeling and reconstruction, software repository mining with many others. The outcomes of research in this area is expected to report on the best practices, state of the art, production level experience, impact on the development, design, maintenance, sustainability, security and other software quality attributes.

Topics of Interest :

• Static and dynamic code analysis
• Bytecode analysis and metaprogramming
• Code to code and code to model transformations
• Software mining, code inspection, and information extraction
• Software verification and code checking
• API dependency mining
• Automated derivations and code transformations
• Security audit and compliance
• Inconsistency and clone detection
• Software project repository mining (git, svn..)
• Analysis of code and development process (Jira, Bugizilla..)
• Control-flow modeling and reconstruction
• Reverse engineering
• Process and system monitoring
  

Paper Submission

Research papers should address the target topics. Submissions must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. Papers should follow the ACM SAC proceedings template and be submitted as PDF. Papers should follow requirements for double-blind review and any author names or affiliations in provided PDF terminates the review process. The standard submission allows 8 pages (+2 with additional charge). Posters limits is 3 pages (+1 with extra charge). Online submission site can consider the author names and affiliations. Paper selection is based on the originality, technical contribution, presentation quality, and relevance to the track. Upon paper acceptance, prospective authors must provide a camera-ready version reflecting the review. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM and also available online through the ACM Digital Library.
