EAAI 2006

1st International Workshop on Emerging Applications of Abstract Interpretation

March 26th 2006, Vienna, Austria

A satellite event of
ETAPS2006

Description
Abstract interpretation is almost 30 years old. These 30 years witnessed a great success of this methodology, in particular in analysis and verification of programming languages and systems: static program analysis, program compilers, program verification, program transformation, program semantics. This workshop focusses on emerging applications of abstract interpretation in nontraditional or even innovative areas, like security, model checking, embedded and real-time systems, systems biology, software watermarking and obfuscation, hardware verification, etc. The workshop aim is to spread the methods of abstract interpretation towards nontraditional areas and to share common experiences in using abstract interpretation as an approximation technique.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest include all the applications of abstract interpretation in nontraditional fields, like:

  • hardware/software security
  • safety-critical hardware/software systems
  • hardware/software model checking
  • hardware/software verification
  • very large software systems
  • embedded, real-time and reactive systems
  • software watermarking and obfuscation
  • process algebra
  • artificial intelligence
  • automated deduction
  • systems biology
  • quantum computing
  • global computing
  • grid computing
