SAS 2017
24th Static Analysis Symposium
New York City, NY, August 30th-September 1st, 2017
http://staticanalysis.org/sas2017
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 24th International Static Analysis Symposium, SAS
2017, will be held at New York University, New York City, NY, USA. Previous
symposia were held in 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.
TOPICS
The technical program for SAS 2017 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 18 pages in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science LNCS format, excluding bibliography and well-marked
appendices. Program Committee members are not required to read the appendices,
and thus papers must be intelligible without them. Submissions are handled
online through easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sas2017
ARTIFACT SUBMISSION
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 criteria whose sole purpose is to
find additional positive arguments for the paper's acceptance. Submissions
without artifacts are welcome and will not be penalized.

RADHIA COUSOT AWARD
Since 2014, the program committee of each SAS conference selects a paper for
the Radhia Cousot Young Researcher Best Paper Award, in memory of Radhia
Cousot, and her fundamental contributions to static analysis, as well as being
one of the main promoters and organizers of the SAS series of conferences.
SPECIAL ISSUE
Full versions of a selection of accepted papers, to be determined by the
program committee, will be invited for submission to Formal Methods in System
Design journal.
