Call For Papers

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
