--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 30th Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2023, will be co-located with

SPLASH 2023 in Cascais (Lisbon), Portugal.

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.

All deadlines are AoE (Anywhere on Earth) 

• Full paper submission: April 24, 2023 
• Artifact submission: April 29, 2023

TOPICS 

The technical program for SAS 2023 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 interpretation
• Automated deduction
• Data flow analysis
• Debugging techniques
• Deductive methods
• Emerging applications
• Model-checking
• Data science
• Program optimizations and transformations
• Program synthesis
• Program verification
• Machine learning and verification
• Security analysis
• Tool environments and architectures
• Theoretical frameworks
• Type checking
• Distributed or networked systems

PAPER SUBMISSION

All paper submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance,

correctness, originality, and clarity. 

Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sas2023

We welcome regular papers as well as papers focusing on any of the

following in the NEAT (New questions/areas, Experience, Announcement,

Tool) category:

• Well-motivated discussion of new questions or new areas. 
• Experience with static analysis tools, Industrial Reports, and Case Studies 
• Brief announcements of work in progress 
• Tool papers 

We do not impose a page limit for submitted papers but we encourage

brevity as reviewers have a limited time that they can spend on each

paper. With the exception of experience papers, all other papers will

follow a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.  The identity of

the authors for the remaining papers will be known to the reviewers.

Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including

concurrent, constraint, functional, imperative, logic,

object-oriented, aspect, multi-core, distributed, and GPU

programming.

Papers must be written and presented in English. A submitted paper

must describe original work 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.

All submitted papers will be judged on the basis of significance,

relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. The review process

will include a rebuttal period where authors have the opportunity to

respond to preliminary reviews on the paper.

RADHIA COUSOT AWARD

The program committee will select an accepted regular 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.

ARTIFACTS

As in previous years, we encourage authors to submit a virtual machine image

containing any artifacts and evaluations presented in the paper. Artifact

submission is optional. Artifact evaluation will be concurrent with paper

review.
