=== Presentation ===

The second edition of the school on Runtime Verification, sponsored by COST Action IC1402 ArVi, Inria, and Persyval-Lab, will provide a balance on theoretical and practical aspects of Runtime Verification:  In the theoretical aspect, while all the core concepts will be thoroughly covered, participants will also be exposed to cutting edge advances in the field. At the same time, the summer school will be hands-on and students will follow up with practical work so that by the end of the school, participants will have their own basic runtime verification tool.

For PhD students and researchers entering the field of RV, the school will be a great opportunity to get to know other people working in the area, to meet distinguished scholars, and to establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the future. For people coming from industry, the school will provide an exposition of the major challenges as well as possible solutions to the application of RV in industry, an exposition to some of the major tools, as well as the basics of RV tool-building.

=== Location ===

Praz sur Arly in the Pays du Mont-Blanc is an ideal spot for holidays and a peaceful working environment. Nestled in the heart of the Savoyard Departments, with easy access, this authentic village offers very varied scenery with spectacular views of the Mont Blanc range.  The resort puts on its white mantle and offers a vast choice of activities, starting with skiing and other snow sports. It is situated at the beginning of the Espace Diamant domain which connects 6 resorts and offers 185 km of pistes! Praz sur Arly is the French commune with the most AOC cheeses: six in all (4 AOC : Beaufort, Reblochon, Abondance and Chevrotin, 2 IGP: Tomme and Savoy Emmental). We still have many working farms where you can discover our past heritage.
