The conference focuses on visualization techniques that target aspects of software maintenance and evolution, program comprehension, reverse engineering, and reengineering, i.e., how visualization helps professionals to understand, analyze, test and evolve software. We aim to gather tool developers, experts, users, and 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. We seek technical papers, empirical studies, applications, or case studies and provide a platform for presenting novel research ideas and tools.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> * Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for software engineering data, such as,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - source code<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - static and dynamic dependencies<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - software evolution and repositories<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - software documentation<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - web services<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - protocol, log, and performance data<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - parallel techniques<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - database schemes<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - software security and privacy issues<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> - workflow and business processes<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> * Visualization to support program comprehension, software testing, and debugging<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> * Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> * Visualization-based techniques in computer science and software engineering education<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> * Integration of software visualization tools and development environments<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> * Empirical evaluation of software visualization<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> * Industrial experience on using software visualization<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Papers are solicited that present original, unpublished research results and will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee.

Following the effort initiated at ESEC/FSE’11, authors of accepted technical papers at VISSOFT 2015 can have their artifacts evaluated by the program committee. Positively evaluated artifacts will be reflected in the paper publication and presentation.
