SCAM 2026
IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation
SCAM 2026 is the 26th IEEE International Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation, held in Benevento, Italy, co-located with ICSME 2026. It brings together researchers and practitioners focused on automated and semi-automated analysis and manipulation of source code, including machine code, high-level languages, and executable graphical representations, to gain insight into system behavior and support software evolution.

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions are reviewed through a double-blind process.
- Papers must not be under review elsewhere during the review period.
- Authors may not submit substantially similar work to multiple tracks (Research and Engineering) simultaneously.
- All submissions must include an AI-use statement if generative AI tools were used in the research or writing process.
