Program Comprehension is an important aspect of software maintenance being 
relevant across the range of maintenance activities. A large percentage of 
software engineering activity is in dealing with existing software. Software 
maintenance, reuse, reverse engineering, and re-engineering are expensive 
activities. A significant part of this cost is in program comprehension. 
 
This workshop will explore the theoretical, methodological, and technical 
issues of program comprehension. It will be a meeting of researchers and 
practitioners from academia and industry. 
 
Extended abstract and papers are invited, including but not limited to, the
