SCAM 2024

The aim of the IEEE International Conference on Source Code Analysis & Manipulation (SCAM) is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on theory, techniques and applications that concern analysis and/or manipulation of the source code of computer systems. While much attention in the wider software engineering community is properly directed towards other aspects of systems development and evolution, such as specification, design, and requirements engineering, it is the source code that contains the only precise description of the behavior of the system. The analysis and manipulation of source code thus remains a pressing concern.

For the purpose of clarity, ‘source code’ is taken to mean any fully executable description of a software system. It is therefore so-construed as to include machine code, very high level languages and executable graphical representations of systems. The term ‘analysis’ is taken to mean any automated or semi automated procedure which takes source code and yields insight into its meaning. The term ‘manipulation’ is taken to mean any automated or semi-automated procedure which takes and returns source code.

— Steering Committee Charter

The 24th IEEE International Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM 2024) will be held on October 7-8 in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA, co-located with ICSME 2024.

SCAM 2024 will feature three tracks:

• Research Track
• Engineering Track
• New Ideas and Emerging Results Track
