Call for Papers Description

We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results. Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. In addition to full technical papers, VISSOFT features both a New Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER) Track and a Tools Track, which present ideas still under development or demonstrate the functionality of newly developed tools. This year, we also include the Visualization Challenge, which aims to catalyze research efforts around a shared software engineering dataset. Additionally, we introduce a new Visions and Reflections Track, welcoming forward-looking visions and reflective perspectives that can shape the future of software visualization research.
