<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Static and dynamic analysis techniques and tools for Java and related programming languages 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 Android applications. Over time, analysis frameworks, for example, Soot, WALA, Chord, and Doop, have been developed to better support techniques for optimizing programs, ensuring code quality, and assessing security and
compliance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, the Soot community brought together its members and other researchers by organizing the International Workshop on the State Of the Art in Java Program Analysis (SOAP), since 2012 in conjunction
with PLDI. The presentations and discussions have helped share new developments and shape new innovations in program analysis. SOAP 2015 will enhance that positive experience with a broadened scope to also emphasize other analysis tools than Soot and other
programming languages than Java.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For SOAP 2015, we invite contributions and inspirations from developers and researchers working with program analysis frameworks. We are particularly interested in exciting framework ideas, innovative designs, and analysis
techniques, including preliminary results of work in progress. The workshop agenda will continue its tradition of lively discussion sessions on extensions of existing frameworks, synergies between frameworks, and development of new analysis algorithms and
tools.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">FORMAT<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The workshop will take one day and will feature invited talks by leading members of the program analysis community, presentations of all accepted refereed papers, and time for discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
