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 25th Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2018, will be
held in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. Previous symposia were held
in New York, 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. The proceedings of the conference will
be published in the Advanced Research in Computing and Software
Science (ARCoSS) subline of the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer
Science (LNCS) series.
Topics
The technical program for SAS 2018 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 15 pages in
Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science LNCS format,
excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices (we may admit
additional pages for the final version). Program Committee members
are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers must be
intelligible without them. Submissions are handled online:

Artifact Evaluation
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 criterion whose
sole purpose is to find additional positive arguments for the
paper's acceptance. Furthermore, an Artifact Evaluation Committee
will assess artifacts and will award an "Artifact Approved" stamps
to accepted papers that come with an artifact that allows to
reproduce the results presented in the paper. Submissions without
artifacts are welcome and will not be penalized.

Radhia Cousot Young Researcher 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.
