********************************

SCOPE

Abstract domains are a key notion in Abstract Interpretation theory and 
practice. They embed the semantic choices, data-structures and 
algorithmic aspects, and implementation decisions. The Abstract 
Interpretation framework provides constructive and systematic formal 
methods to design, compose, compare, study, prove, and apply abstract 
domains. Many abstract domains have been designed so far: numerical 
domains (intervals, congruences, polyhedra, polynomials, etc.), symbolic 
domains (shape domains, trees, etc.), but also domain operators 
(products, powersets, completions, etc.), and have been applied to 
several kinds of static analyses (safety, termination, probability, etc.).

The 7th International Workshop on Numerical and Symbolic Abstract 
Domains is intended to discuss on-going works and ideas in the field.

TOPICS

The program of NSAD 2017 will consist mainly of presentations of 
refereed papers. Contributions are welcomed on all aspects of abstract 
domains, including, but not limited to:

     numeric abstract domains
     symbolic abstract domains
     extrapolations and accelerations
     compositions and operations on abstract domains
     data structures and algorithms for abstract domains
     novel applications of abstract domains implementations
     practical experiments and comparisons
     implementations

VENUE

NSAD 2017 is co-located with SAS 2017 and takes place in the Forbes 
Building of the New York University.

PUBLICATION

NSAD 2017 proceedings will be published electronically in a volume of 
the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science series by 
ScienceDirect©, Elsevier.

SUBMISSION

Submissions are invited in two categories:

-- 1-page abstract (for presentation of ongoing work or already 
published papers) -- NEW!
-- regular paper (not exceeding 12 pages including references)

Authors of accepted 1-page abstracts will have the opportunity for short 
oral presentations at the workshop, but abstracts will not be included 
in the proceedings.

Submitted regular papers should not exceed 12 pages including 
bibliography, and follow the ENTCS guidelines. Submitted papers may 
include, in addition, an appendix containing technical details, which 
reviewers may read or not, at their discretion. Papers must be written 
and presented in English, and describe original work that does not 
substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are 
simultaneously submitted to a journal, conference, or workshop with 
refereed proceedings. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by the 
program committee.

Authors of regular papers have the option to be part of the proceedings 
or not. By default, all accepted regular papers will be included in the 
proceedings.
