PASTE 2005 is the sixth workshop in a series that brings together the program analysis, software tools, and software engineering communities to focus on applications of program analysis techniques in software tools. PASTE 2005 will provide a forum for the presentation of exciting research, empirical results, and new directions in areas including (but not limited to):

PASTE 2005, co-located with ESEC/FSE, will be a true workshop, with a duration of 2 days. In addition to presentations of refereed papers, there will be invited talks, organized discussions on areas of widespread interest, an opportunity for all attendees to make a short (five minute) presentation of their work or other topics, and ample time for general discussion and debate.

Attendance is open to all interested parties, although enrollment will be capped to encourage discussions and interaction. Students are encouraged to attend and may apply for support from ACM. A proceedings of invited and regular papers will be published by ACM.

We are soliciting papers in two distinct categories:

Short papers (3 page limit)
Short papers that discuss controversial issues in the field, or describe interesting or thought-provoking ideas that are not yet fully developed.
Long papers (6 page limit)
Research papers that describe ongoing research or new results.

The program committee will aim to select a program containing a mix of the best submitted papers in each of these categories, with a primary aim of encouraging productive discussion and inspiring new research. Long papers will be expected to have a somewhat higher degree of technical rigor than short papers.

Papers should be formatted using the ACM SIG templates, and, including figures and references, should not exceed the page limit. Submission of papers in PDF (preferred) and/or Postscript format will be accepted at the PASTE submission page starting on May 11. Submissions must be received on or before June 1, 2005.

Final camera-ready versions must be received (at the at the PASTE submission page) on or before August 15, 2005.

Program

In order to foster interaction between workshop participants PASTE sessions are scheduled with extra time to allow for discussion. Keynote sessions will have 30 minutes for questions and discussion following the 50 minute keynote presentations. Regular technical paper sessions will have an additional 20 minutes for discussion over and above the 5 minutes allocated for each of the 25 minute presentations in the session. Session chairs will decide how best to use the extra minutes in each of the sessions.
