PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS

 

SAS'05 Call for Papers

The 12th International Static Analysis Symposium

7-9 September 2005, London, UK

 

 (co-located with LOPSTR'05)

 

 

Static Analysis is increasingly recognized as a fundamental tool for high performance implementations and verification of programming languages and systems. The series of Static Analysis Symposia has served as the primary venue for presentation of theoretical, practical, and application advances in the area.  The twelfth International Static Analysis Symposium (SAS'05) will be held in London, co-located with LOPSTR 2005 - The International Symposium on Logic-based Program Synthesis and Transformation.   Previous symposia were held in Verona, San Diego, Madrid, Paris, Santa Barbara, Venice, Pisa, Paris, Aachen, Glasgow and Namur.

 

The technical program for SAS'05 will consist of invited lectures, tutorials, panels, presentations  of refereed papers, and software demonstrations. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of Static Analysis, including, but not limited to:

 

abstract domains,          abstract interpretation,                abstract testing,             complexity analysis,

data flow analysis,         model checking,                        optimizing compilers,     program specialization,

security analysis,           theoretical frameworks,               type inference,               verification systems.

 

Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including concurrent, constraint, functional, imperative, logic and object-oriented programming. Survey papers, that present some aspect of the above topics with a new coherence, and application papers, that describe experience with industrial applications, are also welcome.  Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with refereed proceedings.

 

 

Submitted papers should be at most 15 pages formatted in LNCS style (excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices). Program committee members are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be intelligible without them.  The proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for the LNCS author instructions). Thus, adhering to that style already in the submission is strongly encouraged.  Papers should be submitted either in PostScript or PDF format and they should   be interpretable by Ghostscript or Acrobat Reader.

Notification:       10 May, 2005.
