The proposed ideas and promising work<br>submitted to this track do not require to have been fully developed or<br>empirically evaluated. The topics of interest for this track are the<br>same as the main research track and concern all the topics in the<br>research and practice of software maintenance and evolution.<br>Participants will have the opportunity to present a summary of their<br>work in form of a short paper and of a poster. The ICSM 2011 ERA<br>track accepts only short papers (4 pages).<br><br>*Important Dates*<br>Abstracts: 20 June, 2011<br>Submissions: 25 June, 2011<br>Notification: 26 July, 2011<br>Camera Ready: 8 August, 2011<br><br><br>TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS<br>*******************<br>We invite proposals for tool demonstrations on any topic related to<br>software maintenance and evolution.
