                    Static Analysis Symposium - SAS 2008
                     16-18 July 2008, Valencia, Spain

Static Analysis is increasingly recognized as a fundamental tool for high 
performance implementations and verification of programming languages and 
systems. The series of Static Analysis Symposia has served as the primary venue 
for presentation of theoretical, practical, and application advances in the 
area.

The technical programme for SAS 2008 will consist of invited lectures and
presentations of refereed papers. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of 
static analysis, including, but not limited to:

    abstract domains
    abstract interpretation
    abstract testing
    compiler optimizations
    control flow analysis
    data flow analysis
    model checking
    program specialization
    security analysis
    theoretical analysis frameworks
    type based analysis
    verification systems

Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including concurrent, 
constraint, functional, imperative, logic, and object-oriented programming. 
Survey papers, that present some aspect of the above topics from a new 
perspective, and application papers, that describe experience with industrial 
applications, are also welcome. 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 should be at most 15 pages formatted in LNCS style (excluding 
bibliography and well-marked appendices not intended for publication). PC 
members are not required to read the appendices, and thus papers should be 
intelligible without them. The conference proceedings is planned to be 
published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
