CALL FOR PAPERS 
 
           International Static Analysis Symposium (SAS'97)

               Paris, France, 8--10 September 1997

              http://lix.polytechnique.fr/~radhia/sas97



Static Analysis is increasingly recognised as a fundamental tool for
high performance implementations and verification systems of high-level
programming languages. The last two decades have witnessed substantial
developments in this area, ranging from theoretical frameworks to
design, implementation, and application of analysers in
optimising compilers.

The Fourth International Static Analysis Symposium (SAS'97) will be
held in Paris to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the publication of
the seminal paper of Patrick and Radhia Cousot in the Proceedings of
the Principles of Programming Languages Conference (POPL'77). Previous
symposia were held in Namur, Glasgow, and Aachen.

The technical program for SAS'96 will consist of invited lectures,
tutorials, panels, presentations of refereed papers, and software
demonstrations. Contributions are welcome on all aspects of Static
Analysis, including, but not limited to

    Abstract Interpretation                Optimising Compilers           
    Complexity                             Theoretical Frameworks         
    Experimental Evaluation                Verification Systems           
    Specific Analyses                      Type Inference                 
    Partial Evaluation                     Abstract Domains 


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 with a new coherence are also welcome.

Papers must be written in English, must not exceed 15
pages (excluding references and figures), and must contain a cover
page containing the following: a 200-word abstract, keywords, postal
and electronic mailing addresses, and phone numbers and fax numbers of
one of the authors.  Submissions should arrive by
APRIL 7, 1997 either by email (a Postscript
file) or by post (six paper copies) at the address

Electronic submission is preferred, but do ensure that your submission
is self-contained and prints on A4 paper.  At the time of submission a
message containing an ASCII or LATEX version of the paper's cover
page should be sent by email and all electronic submissions will be
acknowledged.  Authors will be notified of the acceptance or rejection
of their papers by JUNE 2, 1997. Final versions of the accepted
papers must be received in camera-ready form by JUNE, 23 1997. We
anticipate that the proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag
in the LNCS series.
