held in conjunction with the 39th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2024)
Update: Selected papers will be invited to publish an extended version to ASE Journal: Special Issue on Advances in Mobile App Analysis and Systems (CCF B).

Introduction

The international workshop on advances in mobile app analysis (A-Mobile) aims at bringing together international researchers and practitioners in the field of mobile app analysis (i.e., Android, iOS, or OpenHarmony) to present and discuss emerging advanced techniques. To this end, we will welcome original articles on every aspect related to mobile apps analysis such as static and dynamic analysis.

Areas of interest include but are not restricted to:

  • Security and Privacy analysis of Mobile Apps
  • Energy and Performance Analysis of Mobile Apps
  • Evolution and Trend Analysis of Mobile Apps
  • Variants Analysis of Mobile Apps
  • Quality Analysis of Mobile Apps
  • Mobile Malware Analysis
  • Mobile Ads Analysis
  • Mobile App Developments
  • Automated Testing Technologies and Approaches
  • Mining App Repositories
  • AI-based Mobile App Analysis
  • LLM-enabled Mobile App Analysis

Important dates

Paper submissions: August 16, 2024 (AoE)
Paper notifications: September 1, 2024 (AoE)
Paper camera ready: September 13, 2024 (AoE)
Workshop date: November 1, 2024

Submission details

Authors are invited to submit: 1) regular paper: Original articles presenting emerging results on advanced mobile app analysis. The articles must be between 6 and 10 pages, including figures, appendices, and references. 2) short papers: covering new ideas, visions (of the future), reflections (on the past), and tool demonstrations that must not exceed 4 pages including figures, appendices and references.
