Call for Papers

ACM SIGPLAN Tenth Workshop on Programming Languages and Analysis for
Security (PLAS 2015)

Prague, Czech Republic
July 2015

http://www.cs.cornell.edu/conferences/plas2015/

Co-located with ECOOP 2015 (http://2015.ecoop.org/)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Important dates

13 April 2015 (anywhere on earth): Submissions due (no extensions)
11 May 2015: Author notification
5 June 2015: Camera-ready due
6 or 7 July 2015: Workshop (The date will be assigned by the ECOOP
organizers.)

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

PLAS aims to provide a forum for exploring and evaluating ideas on the use
of
programming language and program analysis techniques to improve the
security of
software systems. Strongly encouraged are proposals of new, speculative
ideas,
evaluations of new or known techniques in practical settings, and
discussions of
emerging threats and important problems.  The scope of PLAS includes, but
is not
limited to:

* Compiler-based security mechanisms or runtime-based security mechanisms
such
  as inline reference monitors
* Program analysis techniques for discovering security vulnerabilities
* Automated introduction and/or verification of security enforcement
mechanisms
* Language-based verification of security properties in software, including
  verification of cryptographic protocols
* Specifying and enforcing security policies for information flow and access
  control
* Model-driven approaches to security
* Security concerns for web programming languages
* Language design for security in new domains such as cloud computing and
  embedded platforms
* Applications, case studies, and implementations of these techniques

Submission Guidelines

Two kinds of papers are invited:

Full papers should be at most 12 pages long including bibliography and
appendices. Papers in this category are expected to have relatively mature
content. Full paper presentations will be 25 minutes each.

Short papers should be at most 6 pages long including bibliography and
appendices. Preliminary and exploratory work are welcome in this
category. Short papers presentations will be 15 minutes each. Authors
submitting papers in this category must prepend the phrase "Short Paper:"
to the title of the submitted paper.

All submissions must be in English. Page limits are strict. Submissions
must be PDF documents typeset in the ACM proceedings format using 10pt
fonts. A SIGPLAN-approved template can be found at the following link:
http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Author/. We recommend using this
template.

Both full and short papers must describe work not published in other
refereed venues (see the SIGPLAN republication policy at
http://www.acm.org/sigs/sigplan/republicationpolicy.htm for more
details). Accepted papers will appear in workshop proceedings, which
will be distributed to the workshop participants and be available in the
ACM Digital Library.

Submissions will be accepted through EasyChair at the following URL:
