Program: http://easychair.org/smart-program/RV2017/


Affiliated Event:


  RV-CuBES - An International Workshop on Competitions, Usability,

  Benchmarks, Evaluation, and Standardisation for Runtime Verification Tools



=== Early Registration and Accommodation Deadline ===



*** August 13 ***



=== OVERVIEW ===



Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of

the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime

verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability,

and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor and

effectiveness compared to conventional testing, and are generally more

practical than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime verification can

be used prior to deployment, for testing, verification, and debugging

purposes, and after deployment for ensuring reliability, safety, and

security and for providing fault containment and recovery as well as

online system repair. Topics of interest to the conference include:



    specification languages

    monitor construction techniques

    program instrumentation

    logging, recording, and replay

    combination of static and dynamic analysis

    specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces

    monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems

    runtime checking of privacy and security policies

    statistical model checking

    metrics and statistical information gathering

    program/system execution visualization

    fault localization, containment, recovery and repair

    integrated vehicle health management (IVHM)


Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical

systems, safety/mission-critical systems, enterprise and systems

software, autonomous and reactive control systems, health management and

diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy.



=== INVITED TALKS ===



Rodrigo Fonseca, Brown University, USA:


    “The Design and Applications for a Tracing Plane for Distributed 
Systems”


Vlad Levin and Jakob Lichtenberg, Microsoft, USA:


    “Windows Driver Verification Platform”


Andreas Zeller, Saarland University, Germany:


    “Learning Input Languages for Runtime Verification”



=== TUTORIALS ===



Ankush Desai and Shaz Qadeer, UC Berkeley and Microsoft Research, USA:


    “P : Modular and Safe Asynchronous Programming”


Madhusudan Parthasarathy, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA:


    “Machine-learning State Properties”


Adrian Francalanza, University of Malta, Malta:

=== VENUE ===



The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification will be held

in the Sheraton Seattle Hotel situated in downtown Seattle. The venue is

within walking distance of the famous Pike Place Market, Seattle Art

Museum, Seattle Aquarium, and the Historic Seattle Waterfront. The

weather in September still permits many open-air opportunities to shop,

eat, and even sail in the Elliott Bay. Exceptionally well organized,

Seattle’s public transport connects the conference venue with the

Seattle Center, which is the home of popular attractions like the Space

Needle, EMP Museum, and Chihuly Garden and Glass.

Registration is available using the web-based registration form,

with online payment on a secure website. Please use one form per
