State Of the Art in Program Analysis (SOAP)

Static and dynamic analysis techniques and tools for mainstream programming languages (such as Java, C, JavaScript), have received widespread attention for a long time. The application domains of these analyses range from core libraries to modern technologies such as web services and mobile applications. Over time, various analysis frameworks have been developed to provide techniques for optimizing programs, ensuring code quality, and assessing security and compliance.

The 12th ACM SIGPLAN International Workshop on the State Of the Art in Program Analysis (SOAP 2023) aims to bring together the members of the program analysis community to share new developments and shape new innovations in program analysis.

For SOAP 2023, we invite contributions from researchers and practitioners working with program analysis. We are particularly interested in exciting analysis framework ideas, application of existing static analysis techniques to industrial software, adoption of static analysis in software engineering practices (such as DevOps), innovative designs, and analysis techniques, including preliminary results or work in progress. We will also focus on the state of the practice for program analysis by encouraging submissions by industrial participants, including tool demonstration submissions. The workshop agenda will continue its tradition of lively discussions on extensions of existing frameworks, the development of novel analyses and tools, and how program analysis is used in real-world scenarios.
