Objectives

Static Analysis is increasingly 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 presentation of theoretical, practical, and application advances in the area. The Nineteenth International Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2012, will be held in Deauville, France. Previous symposia were held in 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 2012 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
abstract testing bug detection
data flow analysis model checking
new applications program transformation
program verification security analysis
theoretical frameworks type checking

Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including concurrent, constraint, functional, imperative, logic, object-oriented, aspect, multi-core, distributed, and GPU 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 welcomed.

Submission Information

Paper submission is now closed.

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 format, excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices. Please take a look at the information for LNCS authors at Springer. Program committee members are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers must be intelligible without them.

Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format only through the EasyChair submission website. We thank Andrei Voronkov for making EasyChair available to us.

Proceedings

The accepted articles will be published by Springer in Volume 7460 of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, as part of the ARCoSS subline.

Travel and local information are available.

SAS 2012 and its affiliated events will take place in Deauville, France. Deauville is a famous seaside resort on the English Channel. At only 200 Km from Paris, and 2h by car or train (departing several times a day from Gare Saint Lazare), it is one of the nearest beach and a popular holiday destination. Deauville is well known for its beach, its race-courses, and its casino. One of the main cultural event, the Deauville American Film Festival, will take place just before SAS 2012.

SAS 2012 and its affiliated events will be held at the Villa Le Cercle, managed by the Centre International de Deauville (C.I.D). The Villa is situated between the casino and the Royal Barrière Hotel, near the city center, at 20mn walking distance from the train station, and 100m from the beach.
