Call for Submissions 
----------------------------------------------------------------------- 
4th International Workshop on 
Applied Verification for Continuous and Hybrid Systems 
CMU campus alongside CPSWeek, Pittsburgh, USA, April 17, 2017 
http://cps-vo.org/group/ARCH 

The workshop on applied verification for continuous and hybrid systems 
(ARCH) brings together researchers and practitioners, and establishes a 
curated set of benchmarks submitted by academia and industry. Verification
of continuous and hybrid systems is increasing in importance due to new
cyber-physical systems that are safety- or operation-critical. This workshop
addresses verification techniques for continuous and hybrid systems with a
special focus on the transfer from theory to practice. Topics include, but
are not limited to

- Proposals for new benchmark problems (not necessarily yet solvable) 
- Tool presentations 
- Tool executions and evaluations based on ARCH benchmarks 
- Experience reports including open issues for industrial success 
- Reports on results of our friendly competition 

Submission Guidelines 
----------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Submissions consist of papers of ideally 3-8 pages (pdf ) and optional files
(e.g. models or traces) submitted through the ARCH’17 EasyChair web site
(http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=arch17). Authors have to use the
EasyChair template (http://www.easychair.org/publications/for_authors).The
extended abstract should be classified in its title as benchmark proposal,
tool presentation, benchmark results, or experience report. Submissions
receive at least 3 anonymous reviews, including one from industry and one
from academia. Details on the evaluation criteria can be found at
http://cps-vo.org/group/ARCH/CallForSubmissions.
