JPF Workshop 2016 Call For Papers

CALL FOR PAPERS

###IMPORTANT DATES

Submission: August 5, 2016 ~~July 1, 2016~~
Notification: September 7, 2016
Camera Version: September 29, 2016
Workshop: November 18, 2016

OVERVIEW

The goal of the workshop is to highlight research and tools for Java/Android program verification and analysis. Although there is a particular emphasis on the Java Pathfinder (JPF) tool, and on projects that use JPF to support basic research, tool development, or verification case studies, the workshop also welcomes contributions related to general program analysis of Java/Android programs. The hope is to use the workshop to grow the community of researchers investigating Java, Android, and JPF in an effort to foster collaboration and define future needs for Java program analysis.

SUBMISSION

We solicit regular paper submissions on existing research and applications related to JPF or its extensions. If the underlying research idea has been published in another venue the paper needs to clarify the novel aspects that are being presented in the paper. We also solicit extended abstracts submissions on recent work or work in progress. We welcome comparative analysis papers that evaluate algorithms in JPF or its extensions with other relevant tools. The goal of the workshop is to encourage the flow of ideas relevant to JPF and Java/Android program analysis in general. The papers should be in the ACM SIG Proceedings format.

Categories of papers:

Regular papers (at most 5 pages long; Accepted regular papers will be published in the Software Engineering Notes (SEN) and the ACM digital library.)
Extended abstract (at most 2 pages long)

Topics of interest:

JPF extensions or tools
JPF case studies
Java program analysis or verification
Android program analysis or verification
General software verification techniques, tools, or analysis

PARTICIPATION

We invite practitioners, academics, and students who are interested in Java development, automated program analysis, and other aspects of software engineering research to attend the workshop. Submitting a paper is not required to participate, enjoy, and learn about JPF.
