**********************************************************************


OVERVIEW/SCOPE
**************
ICSM  is the premier  international venue in  software maintenance and
evolution, where participants from  academia, government, and industry
share ideas and experiences for solving critical  software maintenance
problems.

ICSM  2011  will be held at the Williamsburg Lodge, in  the  heart of
Colonial  Williamsburg,  VA, USA. Williamsburg,  once  the capital of
England's oldest,wealthiest, and most populous  North American colony,
is one of the most important American historical landmarks.

We  invite high  quality  submissions  to  all  conference tracks. All
submissions must be in  English.  All papers  must conform, at time of
submission to the  IEEE  conference  publication  format and  must not
exceed  the  number of  pages indicated by  each  track, including all
text, references, appendices, and figures.  Submissions must be in PDF
format and must be submitted electronically via  EasyChair.  Submitted
papers  must  not have been  previously  accepted for publication  nor
concurrently  submitted  for  review  in  another  journal,  book,  or
conference.  Accepted papers from  all tracks will be published in the
ICSM proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library.


RESEARCH TRACK
**************
Research papers  should describe  original and significant work in the
research and practice  of  software  maintenance  and  evolution. Case
studies,  empirical research,  and  experiments  are welcome. Research
papers are limited to 10 pages.

Selected papers  from  this  track will be invited to be in a  special
issue  of the  Journal of Software Maintenance and Evolution, Research
and Practice (JSME).

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- reverse engineering and re-engineering
- static and dynamic analysis
- software migration and renovation
- maintenance and evolution process
- program and system comprehension
- concept, feature and aspect location
- mining software repositories
- clone, similarity and reuse analysis
- empirical studies in software maintenance and evolution
- testing, only in relation to maintenance (e.g., regression testing)

*Important Dates*
Abstracts:    8 April, 2011

INDUSTRY TRACK
**************
We  invite  presentations  of industrial applications  and  practices,
including state-of-the-art descriptions, state-of-the-practice reports, 
survey papers  from real-world  projects and industrial experiences.
The submissions should have 6-8 pages.

*Important Dates*
Abstracts:    20 June, 2011

EARLY RESEARCH ACHIEVEMENTS TRACK
*********************************
The goal of the Early Research Achievements (ERA) track is  to provide
research and practitioners with  a forum for presenting great ideas in
early  stages of  research.  The proposed  ideas  and  promising  work
submitted to this track do not require to have been fully developed or
empirically  evaluated. The topics of interest  for this track are the
same  as the  main research track  and concern  all the topics  in the
research  and  practice  of  software  maintenance  and  evolution.
Participants will have  the  opportunity to present a summary of their
work in  form of a  short paper and of  a poster.  The  ICSM 2011  ERA
track accepts only short papers (4 pages).

*Important Dates*
Abstracts:    20 June, 2011
Submissions:  25 June, 2011
Notification: 26 July, 2011
Camera Ready: 8 August, 2011


TOOL DEMONSTRATIONS
*******************
We invite  proposals for  tool demonstrations on any topic  related to
software maintenance and evolution. Demonstrations will be in  an open
session  to allow  individual interaction with the  participants. Tool
demo papers are limited to 4 pages.

*Important Dates*
Submissions:  25 June, 2011
Notification: 26 July, 2011

students. For the former category, we target researchers who delivered
their  Ph.D. dissertation  in  the field of  software maintenance  and
evolution within the last 2 years (2010-2011). For the latter category
, we will dedicate part of the symposium exclusively to Ph.D. students
who intend to finish their  Ph.D. in two years time (2012 - 2013). The
