SANER is the premier research conference on the theory and practice of recovering information from existing software and systems. It explores innovative methods of extracting the many kinds of information that can be recovered from software, software engineering documents, and systems artifacts, and examines innovative ways of using this information in system renovation and program understanding.

SANER promotes discussion and interaction among researchers and practitioners about the development of maintainable systems, and the improvement, evolution, migration, and reengineering of existing systems. It also explores innovative methods of extracting the many kinds of information of interest to software developers and examines innovative ways of using this information in system renovation and program understanding.

SANER will feature technical research paper sessions, workshops, an early research achievements track, an industry paper track, a tool demonstration track, a doctoral symposium, and also a number of co-located events.
