abstract = {Software Engineering as a discipline and, in
particular, as a research field within Computer
Science, is still mainly focused on methods,
techniques, processes, and tools to develop software
from scratch. In reality, however, greenfield
scenarios are not the most common ones. It is
important to realize that dynamic evolution of
software became a much more common and relevant issue
in recent times, and its importance keeps growing.
Software refactoring, parallelization, adaptation,
therefore, become central activities in the value
chain: automating them can realize huge gains. Formal
approaches to software modeling and analysis are
poised to make a substantial contribution to software
re-engineering, because they are fundamentally
concerned with automation and correctness. This
potential, however, is far from being realized.
Formal methods tend to aim at software development
above or look at some piece of given software as a
static object. This state of affairs motivated a
track on Automating Software Re-Engineering, where we
invited a group of leading researchers with an active
interest in the automation of software re-engineering
to discuss the state of the art.},
