PLAS 2014 - ACM SIGPLAN Ninth Workshop on Programming Languages and Analysis for Security (PLAS 2014)

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
Submission Guidelines
We invite papers in two categories:
Full papers should be at most 12 pages long including bibliography and appendices. Papers in this category are expected to have relatively mature content. Full paper presentations will be 25 minutes each.
Short papers should be at most 6 pages long including bibliography and appendices. Preliminary and exploratory work are welcome in this category. Short papers presentations will be 10 minutes each. Authors submitting papers in this category must prepend the phrase Short Paper: to the title of the submitted paper.
Submissions should be PDF documents typeset in the ACM proceedings format using 10pt fonts. SIGPLAN-approved templates can be found here. We recommend using this format, which improves greatly on the ACM LaTeX format. All submissions must be in English. Page limits are strict.
Both full and short papers must describe work not published in other refereed venues. (See the SIGPLAN republication policy at http://www.sigplan.org/Resources/Policies/Republic... for more details.) Accepted papers will appear in the workshop ACM SIGPLAN proceedings which will be distributed to the workshop participants and be available in the ACM Digital Library.
