ACM SAC SOFTWARE VERIFICATION
 
The ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has gathered scientists from different computer areas over the past twenty-three years. The forum represents an opportunity to interact with different communities sharing an interest in applied computing.
SAC 2009 is sponsored by SIGAPP and will be hosted by the University of Hawaii at Manoa and Chaminade University of Honolulu.
 
SOFTWARE VERIFICATION AND TESTING TRACK DESCRIPTION
 
We invite authors to submit new results in formal verification and testing, as well as development of technologies to improve the usability of formal methods in software engineering.  Also welcome are detailed descriptions of applications of mechanical verification to large scale software. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
 
- tools and techniques for verification  of large scale software systems
- real world applications and case studies applying software verification
- static and run-time analysis
- abstract interpretation
- model checking
- theorem proving
- correct by construction development
- model-based testing
- analysis methods for dependable systems
- software certification and proof carrying code
 
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
 
Submissions should be in electronic format, via the website: eCMS site
 
Each submitted paper will be fully referenced and undergo a blind review process.  Authors must not be identifiable in the submissions, either explicitly or by implication.  Authors of accepted papers are to submit an editorial revision of their papers that fits within five two-column pages  (an extra three pages may be available at additional cost for the authors) following the ACM proceedings format reported here.  Please comply as much as possible to this page limitation already at submission time.  Publication of accepted articles requires the commitment of one of the authors to register for the conference and present the paper.  Accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC 2009 proceedings.
