BENEVOL 2021: The 20th Belgium-Netherlands Software Evolution Workshop Jheroninums Academy of Data Science 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, December 6-8, 2021 |

The goal of BENEVOL is to bring together researchers who are working in the field of software evolution and maintenance. BENEVOL offers an informal forum to meet and discuss new ideas, important problems, and obtained research results.
Submission Guidelines
BENEVOL accepts submissions in two categories:
-
Technical papers (max 4 pages main text + 1 page of references) will undergo a mild yet constructive review. We explicitly solicit papers in the early stages of research, which are still rather rough around the edges and would benefit from feedback from the community. Technical papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, assessing whether they are within the scope of BENEVOL (i.e., software maintenance and evolution) and meet its quality criteria.
-
Presentation abstracts (max 1 page) reports on research results that have already been published, or that are ready to be submitted to a conference or a journal. They will only be reviewed for relevance, and will not be included in the BENEVOL proceedings. When accepted, the 1-pagers will be made available on the website of the workshop. Of particular interest are summaries that try to provoke discussion, initiate challenging new avenues, etc.
All submissions must conform to the IEEE Formatting Guidelines For Conference Proceedings. All submissions must be in PDF format; must use the A4 page size and must add page numbers at the bottom. Technical papers, when properly formatted, must not exceed four (4) pages main text + one (1) page of references, while presentation abstracts should not exceed one (1) page. This limit includes the main text, figures, tables, and appendices.
