DEBT 2025 : Third Workshop on Advanced Debugging Techniques (DEBT)

*Scope:*

DEBT’25 is looking to advance state-of-the-art to debug modern software. We welcome researchers from all related areas aimed at helping with the hard task of diagnosing the root cause of bugs, including dynamic and static debugging techniques, online and postmortem debuggers, delta debugging, automatic bug finding, novel visualization techniques for debugging programs, etc.

The workshop aims to gather the community and foster discussion from different perspectives. That is why we seek submissions in the form of papers as well as talks and tool demonstrations.

The workshop is a venue for all approaches to debugging. A non-exclusive list of topics of interest is:

- Debugging techniques, from static to dynamic techniques.
- Innovative visualisation techniques.
- Techniques targeted specific programming models and execution models (e.g., concurrent and parallel programming, microservices, distributed ledgers, web, etc. ) or hardware (e.g., debugging micro-controllers, mobile devices, Big Data applications, etc.).
- Case studies and evaluation of such techniques, e.g., user studies on visualisation tools, debuggers, etc.
- Surveys, taxonomies of bugs and bug patterns, and current practices/uses of debugging approaches.


*Submissions:*

This workshop welcomes the presentation of new ideas, reflections, emerging problems as well as more mature work. We plan to schedule enough time between presentations to foster discussions of work. To this end, we invite three kinds of submissions:

- Technical papers, up to 12 pages.
- Work-in-progress papers on ideas in early stages, from 2 to 6 pages.
- Talks and tool demonstrations, 1-2 page abstract.
