=======================================================================<br>
<br>
Software visualization is a broad research area whose general goal is
to enhance and promote the theory, realization, and evaluation of
approaches to visually encode and analyze software systems, including
software development practices, evolution, structure, and software
runtime behavior. Software visualization is inherently
interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and techniques from information
visualization and computer graphics and applying these in the software
engineering domain. <br>
<br>
The VISSOFT conference is principally a venue for publishing and
discussing research related to software visualization. VISSOFT brings
together a community of researchers from software engineering,
information visualization, computer graphics, and human-computer
interaction to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques,
tools, and applications related to software visualization. <br>
<br>
This year’s VISSOFT, co-held with ICSME, encourages a variety of
submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems
using visualization. This includes technical papers, empirical studies,
applications, case studies, and papers that present novel ideas and
tools.<br>
<br>
VISSOFT topics of interest include:<br>
* Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for analysis
of software engineering data. This includes source code, dependencies,
repositories, developer social networks like<br>
StackOverflow and GitHub, mobile app reviews, documentation, runtime
logs, and DevOps data.<br>
* Visualization to support software development activities, including
design, requirements engineering, program comprehension, software
testing, and debugging.<br>
* Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization<br>
* Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education<br>
* Integration of software visualization tools with development
environments<br>
* Empirical evaluation of software visualizations<br>
* Industrial experience with using software visualization<br>
* Applications of new technologies to enhance software visualization,
including virtual reality, augmented reality, gamification, and machine
learning.<br>
<br>
We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results.
Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program
committee. In addition to technical papers, VISSOFT features a New
Ideas or Emerging Results (NIER) track and a Tools track. All accepted
submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE
Digital Library.<br>
<br>
== Technical papers ==<br>
<br>
A technical paper contribution must describe an in-depth and mature
research result relevant to software visualization. The content of a
technical paper can be at a maximum 10 pages long (including all
figures, tables, and appendices). However, the 10 page limit does not
include the bibliography, which is not limited in length.<br>
<br>
The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the
paper is highly encouraged to show interaction possibilities. Authors
who wish to submit a video can submit the video together with their
paper if the size of the video is smaller than 50 MB, otherwise a URL
to the video should be provided. Authors will be given the opportunity
to provide a response to reviewer requests for clarifications before a
final decision is made. After the notification, authors can also submit
an artifact (tool, data, model, etc.). The following section provides
more info about it. <br>
<br>
Important Dates:<br>
Abstract submission date: May 15, 2018<br>
Paper submission date: May 22, 2018<br>
Author response period: June 9 - June 11, 2018<br>
Notification: June 15, 2018<br>

<br>
== Artifacts ==<br>
<br>
Traditionally, technical research papers are published without
including any artifacts (such as tools, data, models, videos, etc.),
even though the artifacts may serve as crucial and detailed evidence
for the quality of the results that the associated paper offers.
Following the effort initiated at ESEC/FSE’11, authors of accepted
technical papers at VISSOFT 2018 can have their artifacts evaluated by
the program committee. Positively evaluated artifacts will be reflected
in the paper publication, presentation, and be formally announced
during the conference. A paper with an accepted artifact will have five
extra minutes of presentation which can be used to present the
artifact. The authors will also be invited to demo the artifact during
the interactive informal demo session organized for the tool demo track.<br>
<br>
Given the short time between the acceptance notification and the
deadline to submit the artifact, we suggest the authors to start
preparing it beforehand.<br>
<br>

<br>
== NIER and Tool papers==<br>
<br>
We accept two types of paper submissions: NIER contributions (New Ideas
and Emerging Results) and Tool contributions. The NIER contributions
describe work-in-progress and preliminary exciting results. Authors
should include open questions and even provocative hypotheses to get
early feedback on their research ideas or even support through new
research collaborations. NIER papers have to be maximum 5 pages long
(including bibliography). Tool contributions describe the design or
actual utilization of software visualization tools, with a focus on
relevant tool construction aspects or the use of the tool for gaining
new insights. Authors should be prepared to demonstrate their tool at
the conference. The submission may also contain a link to a screencast
(e.g., YouTube or Vimeo video). Tools papers have to be maximum 5 pages
long (including bibliography).<br>
