New York, NY, USA
A Satellite Workshop of SAS 2017

Important Dates
---------------

   * Submission deadline:  June 26, 2017
   * Notification:         July 24, 2017
   * Workshop:             August 29, 2017


Objectives
----------

In recent 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.

Scope
-----

The technical program of TAPAS 2017 will consist of invited lectures
together with presentations based on submitted extended abstracts.

Submissions 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
----------

Please visit the submission website:
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tapas2017>.

All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the program committee.

Submitted abstracts should be up to 3 pages in the two-column
sub-format of the new ACM proceedings format.
