This volume presents the proceedings of the First International Static Analysis Symposium (SAS '94), held in Namur, Belgium in September 1994. The proceedings comprise 25 full refereed papers selected from 70 submissions as well as four invited contributions by Charles Consel, Saumya K. Debray, Thomas W. Getzinger, and Nicolas Halbwachs. The papers address static analysis aspects for various programming paradigms and cover the following topics: generic algorithms for fixpoint computations; program optimization, transformation and verification; strictness-related analyses; type-based analyses and type inference; dependency analyses and abstract domain construction.
