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.
