Professor Miryung Kim and her former students Kyle Prete, Napol Rachatasumrit, and Nikita Sudan received ICSME’s 10-Year Retrospective Most Influential Paper Award at the 36th IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME). Their award-winning paper “Template-based reconstruction of complex refactorings,” published in 2010, presented an automated logic-query based refactoring inference approach to support refactoring-aware code reviews. The paper was selected as an MIP paper based on the research impact and citations by the MIP award selection committee.

ICSME 2020 is the thirty-sixth annual international conference on software maintenance and evolution. ICSME is a top sub-area conference to present the most recent ideas, experiences, and challenges in software maintenance and evolution.
