Dear All,
Apologies for multiple postings.
Please note that the deadline for PLAS 2025 has been extended to 4th of
July, 2025. The deadline is immediately after the CCS notifications so it
might be a good opportunity to receive comments and feedback on ongoing
work.
We look forward to interesting submissions to the workshop.
Best Regards,
Jana and Abhishek

Call for papers - Extended deadline
PLAS 2025 <http://plas25.github.io>(co-located with CCS '25)
Taipei, Taiwan
13th October, 2025
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR: Submission Deadline (extended): July 4, 2025 AoE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Workshop on Programming Languages and Analysis for Security (PLAS)
explores the use
of programming language and program analysis techniques to improve
software security
across compilers, machine learning models, and smart contracts. It
promotes speculative,
forward-looking ideas and insightful discussions at the intersection of
programming languages and security.
The 20th Workshop on Programming Languages and Analysis for Security
(PLAS 2025) <http://plas25.github.io> will
be held on the 13th of October, 2025, co-located with CCS 2025 in Taipei,
Taiwan.

Submission Guidelines
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The workshop has no formal published proceedings; hence, we encourage the
submission of
papers that are likely to generate lively discussion as well as papers
covering ongoing and
future work. Presenting a paper at the workshop does not preclude
submission to or
publication in other venues that are before, concurrent, or after the
workshop. Papers
presented at the workshop will be made available to workshop participants
only.
We invite both short papers and long papers.
Full papers: There is no page limit on long papers. Papers in this
category are expected to
have relatively mature content. Papers that present promising preliminary
and exploratory
work, or recently published work are particularly welcome in this
category. Long papers may
receive longer talk slots at the workshop than short papers, depending on
the number of
accepted submissions.
Short papers: should be at most 2 pages long, plus as many pages as needed
for references.
Papers that present radical, open-ended and forward-looking ideas are
particularly welcome in
this category. Authors submitting papers in this category must prepend the
phrase
"Short Paper:" to the title of the submitted paper.
There is no restriction on paper format other than the page limits stated
above.
A non-exhaustive list of topics for the workshop is:
Side-channel vulnerability detection and
elimination
Verification techniques applied to adversarial learning and smart
contracts
Software isolation (e.g., SFI, sandboxing)
Compiler/runtime-based hardening and monitoring
Program analysis, binary analysis, and fuzzing
Security enforcement mechanisms
Cryptographic protocol verification
Information flow and access control
Security in web, IoT, and cloud programming languages
Submissions will be made (in PDF format) via the following website:
