The 59th CREST Open Workshop - Multi-language Software Analysis

Date: 26th and 27th March 2018

Venue: Friends House, 173-177 Euston Road, London NW1 2BJ

Overview:

Software analysis tools typically focus on a single programming language but modern software systems are typically comprised of elements written in many different programming languages.  As such, techniques that can address multiple programming languages are ever more important and can provide software engineers with better ways to undertake software development, maintenance, and evolution.  Researchers also benefit from being able to study software systems in their entirety rather than being restricted to those facets for which tools and techniques are available. 

This workshop will bring together world-leading researchers and practitioners interested in multi/mixed language software analysis to discuss the latest achievements in supporting, analysing, and understanding multi-language analysis and how this can help support software engineering processes.
