“Everything here (in Florence) breathes size, taste, humanity, purity, and beauty, in the highest degree. ” - Klemens von Metternich

Welcome!

Welcome to the web site of the 23rd IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension! Program reading and comprehension (or understanding) is a vital software engineering and maintenance activity, such as software reuse, inspection, maintenance, reverse engineering, reengineering, migration, and extension of existing software systems.

The IEEE International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC) is the principal venue for works in the area of program comprehension, and it promises to provide a quality forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present and to discuss state-of-the-art results and best practices in the field of program comprehension.

The 2015 edition of the International Conference on Program Comprehension (ICPC) will be held in Florence (Italy) co-located with the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE'15). A special issue based on selection of best papers from ICPC 2015 will be published in Springer’s Journal of Empirical Software Engineering (EMSE).
