Objective
Static Analysis is widely recognized as a fundamental tool for program
verification, bug detection, compiler optimization, program understanding, and
software maintenance. The series of Static Analysis Symposia has served as the
primary venue for the presentation of theoretical, practical, and application
advances in the area. The 25th Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2018, will be
held in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. Previous symposia were held in New York,
Edinburgh, Saint-Malo, Munich, Seattle, Deauville, Venice, Perpignan, Los
Angeles, Valencia, Kongens Lyngby, Seoul, London, Verona, San Diego, Madrid,
Paris, Santa Barbara, Pisa, Aachen, Glasgow, and Namur. The proceedings of the
conference will be published in the Advanced Research in Computing and Software
Science (ARCoSS) subline of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series.
Topics
The technical program for SAS 2018 will consist of invited lectures and
presentations of refereed papers. Contributions are welcomed on all aspects of
static analysis, including, but not limited to:
- Abstract domains
- Abstract interpretation
- Automated deduction
- Data flow analysis
- Debugging
- Deductive methods
- Emerging applications
- Model checking
- Program optimization and transformation
- Program synthesis
- Program verification
- Security analysis
- Tool environments and architectures
- Theoretical frameworks
- Type checking
Paper Submission
Submissions can address any programming paradigm including concurrent,
constraint, functional, imperative, logic, object-oriented, aspect, multi-core,
distributed, and GPU programming. 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 will be
judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and
clarity. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and why it is
significant. Paper submissions should not exceed 15 pages in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science LNCS format, excluding bibliography and well-marked
appendices (we may admit additional pages for the final version). Program
Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers must
be intelligible without them.
Submissions are handled online: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sas20180
Artifact Evaluation
As in previous years, we are encouraging authors to submit a virtual machine
image containing any artifacts and evaluations presented in the paper. The goal
of the artifact submissions is to strengthen our field's scientific approach to
evaluations and reproducibility of results. The virtual machines will be
archived on a permanent Static Analysis Symposium website to provide a record
of past experiments and tools, allowing future research to better evaluate and
contrast existing work. Artifact submission is optional. We accept only virtual
machine images that can be processed with Virtual Box. Details on what to
submit and how will be sent to the corresponding authors by mail shortly after
the paper submission deadline. The submitted artifacts will be used by the
program committee as a secondary evaluation criterion whose sole purpose is to
find additional positive arguments for the paper's acceptance. Furthermore, an
Artifact Evaluation Committee will assess artifacts and will award an "Artifact
Approved" stamps to accepted papers that come with an artifact that allows to
reproduce the results presented in the paper. Submissions without artifacts are
welcome and will not be penalized.
