Workshop theme and program
Comprehending programs is one of the core software engineering activities.
Program comprehension is needed when one maintains, reuses, migrates, reengineers,
inspects, or enhances software systems.
This workshop will gather practitioners and researchers from academia,
industry, and government, to review the current state of the practice,
to report on program understanding experiments, and to present issues and
solutions in the general area of program comprehension.
This year's workshop will follow last year's successful introduction
of a series of exciting working interactive sessions - the format will
be announced closer to IWPC '99. The workshop program will also include
a tool demonstration session, a tutorials (to be determined),
and a keynote speech (to be announced). All workshop events will be included
in the registration fees.
The workshop proceedings will be published by IEEE
Computer Society Press.
IWPC'99 Advance Program
Conference location
IWPC '99 will be held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA near the campus of
Carnegie Mellon University, home to one of
the most respected engineering and computer
science programs in the USA. Pittsburgh, a modern and cosmopolitan city
nestled between three mighty rivers, is waiting to welcome you to enjoy
its invigorating spring afternoons where you can enjoy the hospitality
of city neighborhoods that tell their stories with rich ethnic food, customs,
cultures and celebrations. Pittsburgh boasts one of America's safest downtown
districts, and a magnificent park where three rivers meet: the Golden Triangle.
Pittsburgh has rich cultural attractions with its theaters, symphony, ballet,
museums, and conservatory. In addition it has strong traditions in the
major league sports of football, baseball and hockey. Two Frank Lloyd Wright
architectural masterpieces "Fallingwater" and "Kentuck Knob" are located in the
rustic Laurel Highlands - about a one hour drive from Downtown Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania, the "Keystone State", is home of the writing of the
Declaration
of Independence and the US Constitution and home to unbelievable history
and some of the best scenery and recreation in the United States. You can
see the Amish in Lancaster County, photograph the elk herd in Cameron,
Clinton and Elk Counties, hike the mountains of Potter County, horseback
ride near the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania in Tioga County, raft some white
water near Somerset County, fish Lake Erie in Erie County, roam the mountains
of Williamsport and Lycoming County, visit Harrisburg, the state capital
in Dauphin County, walk the battlefield of Gettysburg in Adams County,
ride a train in McKean County, or explore the Poconos of Monroe County.
Pittsburgh International Airport is reached directly by all national
and international airlines. Pittsburgh is located within a 1 and a half
hour plane ride of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, and Chicago.
