Guest editorial: special section on software analysis, evolution, and reengineering Selected papers from the SANER 2018 conference

摘要

This special section features selected, extended papers from the 25th IEEE International Conference on Software Analysis, Evolution and Reengineering (SANER 2018), held in Campobasso, Italy, March 20-23, 2018. SANER is the premier event on the theory and practice of recovering information from existing software and systems. The event explores innovative methods to extract the many kinds of information that can be recovered from software, software engineering documents, and systems artifacts, and examines innovative ways of using this information in system renewal and program understanding. The SANER conference series started in 2015, from the merger of the Working Conference on Reverse Engineering (WCRE) and the European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering (CSMR).
