                             TAPAS 2014

      Workshop on Tools for Automatic Program Analysis 2014

                     http://cs.au.dk/tapas2014/

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


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, in Munich, Germany,
September 10, 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.
