The aim of static analysis is to develop principles, techniques and tools for validatingpropertiesofprograms,fordesigningsemantics-basedtransformations of programs and for obtaining high-performance implementations of high-level programming languages. Over the years the series of static analysis symposia has served as the primary venue for presentation and discussion of theoretical, practical and innovative advances in the area. This volume contains the papers accepted for presentation at the 14th Int- national Static Analysis Symposium (SAS 2007). The meeting was held August, 22–24, 2007, at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in Kongens L- gby, Denmark. In response to the call for papers, 85 submissions were received. Each submission was reviewed by at least 3 experts and, based on these reports, 26 papers were selected after a week of intense electronic discussion using the EasyChair conference system.
