1. SAC 2006

 

For the last twenty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

has been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists,

computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers

from around the world. SAC 2006 is sponsored by the ACM Special

Interest Group on Applied Computing, and is hosted this year by

Bourgogne University, Dijon, France.

 

2. Technical track on software verification

 

In the next decade the software industry will have to face its

responsibility imposed by a computer-dependent society. Since

software is increasing deployed in safety critical applications,

correctness and reliability are becoming issues of utmost importance.

Consequently, software verification will be a grand challenge for

both academic world and computer industry.

 

The track will focus on theoretical foundations, practical methods

as well as case studies for verification of conventional and embedded

software. We welcome papers that describe work on combinations of

formal verification and program analysis techniques. Tool papers and

case studies which report on advances in verifying large software

systems are particularly sought. The list of topics includes but not

limited to

   .  Tools, and case studies for large scale software verification

   .  Static analysis/Abstract interpretation for verification

   .  Model checking and deductive techniques for software verification

   .  Role of declarative programming languages (such as Prolog) for

        infinite state software verification.

   .  Proof techniques for verifying specific classes of software 

   .  Integration of testing and run-time monitoring with formal

        techniques

   .  Validation of UML diagrams, and/or�requirement specifications

   .  Software certification and proof carrying code

   .  Integration of formal verification into software development

        projects

 

3. Guidelines for paper submission

Each paper must not exceed 4,000 words and should not be more than 15

pages long using 11 point font and 1 inch margins on all four sides on

letter size paper. Papers that fail to comply with length limitations

risk rejection. Each submitted paper will be fully referenced and

undergo a blind review process. Author(s)�must not be identified in the

submissions, either explicitly or by implication.

Before submitting paper,�author(s) should submit a separate cover page

that includes title, abstract, list of keywords, and list of authors with

full names and postal addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and

e-mail addresses. One of the authors must be designated as the primary

contact person. Please upload the cover page via

http://milo.cs.iupui.edu/sac2006/SubmitAbstract.aspx?TrackID=62.

A confirmation email with further instructions on paper submission will

be sent to the contact author. Please contact track chairs or Jeff Allen

([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for any problems with submission.

Authors of accepted papers must submit an editorial revision of their

papers that must fit within five two-column pages following the ACM

proceedings format (an extra three extra pages may be available at

additional cost to the authors). At least one of the authors of an�accepted

paper must register for the conference and present the paper. Accepted

papers will be published in the ACM SAC 2006 proceedings.
