Strongly encouraged are proposals of new, speculative ideas, evaluations of new or known techniques in practical settings, and discussions of emerging threats and important problems. We are especially interested in position papers that are radical, forward-looking, and likely to lead to lively and insightful discussions that will influence future research that lies at the intersection of programming languages and security. The scope of PLAS includes, but is not limited to: ● Compiler-based security mechanisms (e.g. security type systems) or runtime-based security mechanisms (e.g. inline reference monitors) ● Program analysis techniques for discovering security vulnerabilities ● Automated introduction and/or verification of security enforcement mechanisms ● Language-based verification of security properties in software, including verification of cryptographic protocols ● Specifying and enforcing security policies for information flow and access control ● Model-driven approaches to security ● Security concerns for Web programming languages ● Language design for security in new domains such as cloud computing and IoT ● Applications, case studies, and implementations of these techniques — Submission Guidelines We invite both full papers and short papers. For short papers we especially encourage the submission of position papers that are likely to generate lively discussion. ● Full papers should be at most 11 pages long, plus as many pages as needed for references and appendices. Papers in this category are expected to have relatively mature content. Full paper presentations will be 25 minutes each. ● Short papers should be at most 5 pages long, plus as many pages as needed for references. Papers that present radical, open-ended and forward-looking ideas are particularly welcome in this category, as are papers presenting preliminary and exploratory work. Authors submitting papers in this category must prepend the phrase "Short Paper:" to the title of the submitted paper. Short paper presentations will be 15 minutes each. Submissions should be PDF documents formatted according to the CCS 2017 formatting requirements provided at https://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2017/#format <https://www.sigsac.org/ccs/CCS2017/#format>. Both full and short papers must describe work not published in other refereed venues. Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings, which will be distributed to the workshop participants and be available in the ACM Digital Library. PLAS welcomes submissions by authors of all nationalities and we do not wish to exclude any potential authors who may have difficulty traveling due to recent changes in US immigration practices. We will allow presenting papers electronically or with non-author presenters in cases where paper authors are unable to travel to the United States. — Workshop co-chairs: Nataliia Bielova (Inria, France, Co-Chair) Marco Gaboardi (University at Buffalo, SUNY, USA, Co-Chair) Program Committee: Mario Alvim (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil) Aslan Askarov (Aarhus University, Denmark) Lujo Bauer (Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Deepak Garg (MPI Software Systems, Germany) Kevin Hamlen (University of Texas at Dallas, USA) Boris Koepf (IMDEA Software Institute, Spain) Steve Kremer (Loria & Inria, France) Scott Moore (Harvard University, USA) Frank Piessens (DistriNet, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) Omer Tripp (Google, USA) Danfeng Zhang (Penn State University, USA)
