TAPAS 2014
The Fifth Workshop on Tools for Automatic Program Analysis
September 10, 2014
Munich, Germany


Objective

In the last ten years, a wide range of static analysis tools have emerged, some of which are currently in industrial use or are well beyond the advanced prototype level. Many impressive practical results have been obtained, which allow complex properties to be proven or checked in a fully or semi-automatic way, even in the context of complex software developments. In parallel, the techniques to design and implement static analysis tools have improved significantly, and much effort is being put into engineering the tools. This workshop is intended to promote discussions and exchange experience between specialists in all areas of program analysis design and implementation and static analysis tool users.

Previous workshops have been held in Perpignan, France (2010), Venice, Italy (2011), Deauville, France (2012), and Seattle, WA, USA (2013).

TAPAS 2014 will be co-located with SAS 2014.


Scope

The technical program of TAPAS 2014 will consist of invited lectures together with presentations based on submitted abstracts.

Submitted presentation abstracts can cover any aspect of program analysis tools including, but not limited to the following:
design and implementation of static analysis tools (including practical techniques used for obtaining precision and performance)
components of static analysis tools (front-ends, abstract domains, etc.)
integration of static analyzers (in proof assistants, test generation tools, IDEs, etc.)
reusable software infrastructure (analysis algorithms and frameworks)
experience reports on the use of static analyzers (both research prototypes and industrial tools)


Submission of Presentation Abstracts

All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee.

Submitted abstracts should be 1-2 pages, and use the ACM proceedings format.

Submissions will be handled online. Information on the submission procedure will be provided here in due course.
