CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


RV’17 - RUNTIME VERIFICATION 2017

The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification, September
13-16 2017, Seattle, WA, USA


http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk


Affiliated Event:


RV-CuBES - An International Workshop on Competitions, Usability,
Benchmarks, Evaluation, and Standardisation for Runtime Verification Tools



=== 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.

 Handling IMPlicit and EXplicit knowledge in formal system development.

================================================================================================


    CALL FOR PAPERS


    IMPEX 2017



      First  International  Workshop  on   Handling  IMPlicit  and
      EXplicit knowledge in formal system development.



      Co-located with ICFEM 2017


      Xi'an, China, 13-17th November 2017

================================================================================================



      **Background and Objectives


Most of methods based on proof systems, such as theorem provers, model
checkers or any  reasoning systems, rely on the definition and use of
basic theories (logic, algebraic, types, etc.) in order to support the
expression  of  proofs  in  formal  developments. They  also  propose
mechanisms and  operators to define  new theories (inside  contexts or
theories or species, like in Event-B, COQ, Isabelle/HOL, Focalize,
Nuprl, ASM, PVS,  etc.) or to  enrich their  basic theories. In
general, the definition of a  theory is based on mathematical  and
logical abstract concepts that support the formalisation of the studied
hardware and/or software systems. In other  words, the  semantics of
such formalised systems is expressed in this theory;  i.e. the used
theory  gives the semantics  of  all the  systems  formalised  in  this
theory  and the required properties of these systems  are expressed and
checked in the same  theory.   This  kind   of  semantics  represents
the implicit semantics. Note that the same semantics  is used for a wide
variety of heterogeneous hardware and/or software systems.

Generally,  hardware   and/or  software  systems  are   associated to
information  issued   from  the  application  domain   in  which they
evolve. For example, one integer variable  (typed by an integer in the
theory) may denote a temperature  expressed in Celsius degrees, whilst
another one  may denote  a pressure  measured in bars at  the extreme
limit  of the  left  wing of  an  aircraft in the  landing phase.  In
general,  this   kind  of  knowledge   is omitted  by   the  produced
formalisations  or their  formalisation is  hardcoded in  the designed
formal model. If this knowledge carried by the concepts manipulated in
these formal models is still in the  mind of the model designer, it is
not explicitly formalised and therefore, it  is not shared in the same
way as  for implicit theories that  can be  reused in  several formal
developments. This   kind  of   knowledge  represents   the  explicit
semantics.

The objective of the meeting is  to discuss on mechanisms for reducing
heterogeneity of models  induced by the absence  of explicit semantics
expression in the formal techniques used to specify these models. More
precisely, the meeting  targets to highlight the  advances in handling
both implicit  and explicit semantics in formal  system developments.

*List of Topics*

Discussions,  presentations and  more  generally, contributions
shalladdress one or more topics described below

  *    Show  that  when making  explicit  the  domain knowledge in
    formal models,  several relevant  hidden (because  they are not
    explicitlymodelled in classical formal  modelling languages)
    properties can be handled
  * How  knowledge models,  like ontologies,  can be  handled in formal
    system developments?
  *   What are the candidate formal  modelling languages and techniques
    to  model  such domain  knowledge? What  are the reasoning
    capabilities entailed by these modelling languages?
  * Define  relevant  case studies  that  illustrate  the need to  make
    explicit domain properties?
  * Define composition  mechanisms to handle domain  knowledge in formal
    modelling techniques.   Beyond the  technical results targeted  by
    the proposed  meeting,   social,  economic  and resilience
    impacts  are expected. These impacts are built  on the foundations
    of heterogeneity reduction and formal model alignment.


*Submission Guidelines*

Papers should be  written in English and not exceed  15 pages for long
papers   and   8   pages   for    short   papers   in   EPTCS format
(http://www.eptcs.org/ for details).  Submission should be made

EasyChair conference management system.

Thirteenth Haifa Verification Conference 2017
https://www.research.ibm.com/haifa/conferences/hvc2017
November 13 - 15, 2017
Tutorials: November 13, 2017
Haifa, Israel - Organized by IBM Research - Haifa
HVC Facebook page
----------------------------------------------------------------
HVC is an annual conference dedicated to advancing the state-of the art
and state-of-the-practice in verification and testing. At the conference,
researchers and practitioners from academia and industry network, share
ideas, and ponder the future directions of testing and verification for
hardware, software, and complex hybrid systems.
The common goal of the conference topics and participants is to ensure the
correct functionality and performance of complex systems. HVC is the only
conference that brings together experts from all verification and testing
sub-fields, thereby encouraging the migration of methods and ideas among
domains.
HVC 2017 invites the submission of technical papers reporting original
research and experience results in all sub-fields of testing and
verification applicable to software and hardware. The conference includes
the presentation of peer-reviewed, original technical papers, as well as
lectures by guests from industry and academia.

Special theme this year: verification for security
In addition to the traditional HVC topics (see below), we plan at least
one session dedicated to the research and application of verification
techniques in security. At least one of our invited keynote talks will be
dedicated to this topic.
New this year: tool demos category
In addition to the research and poster sessions, we plan to hold a tool
demos session.
The conference proceedings will be published in Springer?s Lecture Notes
in Computer Science series (LNCS), and distributed in digital format to
registered conference participants.
