[ecoop-info] [VORTEX 2019]: extended submission deadline June 7 AoE

[Davide Ancona]

              VORTEX 2019, ECOOP, London, Friday 19 July, 2019
  3rd International Workshop on Verification of Objects at Runtime Execution
                  (https://2019.ecoop.org/home/vortex-2019)

                 *Extended submission deadline: June 7th AoE*

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

Runtime verification (RV) is an approach to software verification which is
concerned with monitoring and analysis of software and hardware system
executions. Recently, RV has gained more consensus as an approach to ensure
software reliability, bridging the gap between formal verification and testing;
monitoring a system at runtime offers more opportunities for addressing error
recovery, self-adaptation, and issues that go beyond software reliability. The
goal of VORTEX is to bring together researchers working on all aspects of RV
with emphasis on integration with formal verification and testing.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following ones:

*   monitor construction and synthesis techniques
*   program adaptation
*   monitoring oriented programming
*   runtime enforcement, fault detection, recovery and repair
*   combination of static and dynamic analyses
*   specification formalisms of RV
*   specification mining
*   monitoring concurrent/distributed systems
*   RV for safety and security
*   RV for the Internet of Things
*   industrial applications
*   integrating RV, formal verification, and testing
*   tool development


Important Dates
---------------

Paper submission: *extended deadline* June 7, 2019 23:59 AoE (UTC-12h)
Notification: June 12, 2019
Workshop: July 19, 2019

Submission Instructions
-----------------------

Submissions must be unpublished work, in English, between 6 and 12 pages
formatted in PDF with eptcs style (http://style.eptcs.org/). Papers of the
following categories can be submitted:

*   Technical papers, presenting novel results
*   Surveys on different tools, formal frameworks or methodologies
*   Experience papers or tool presentations: the former should report on
     experience of the use of tools, formal frameworks or methodologies on
     specific domains, while the latter should provide a practical account on the
     use of a specific tool

Papers must be submitted electronically via EasyChair at
https://easychair.org/my/conference.cgi?conf=vortex2019; the *extended* submission deadline
is June 7th AoE.


Review Process
--------------

*   1st round: before the early registration deadline, authors will receive a
     binary verdict “accepted/rejected for presentation”, with short motivations.

*   2nd round: after the workshop, authors invited to contribute to the
     post-proceedings will receive a complete review whose purpose is to provide
     guidelines for enhancing the extended version of their paper.

*   3rd round: final notifications for publications in the post-proceedings will
     be sent. Papers will be accepted only if reviewers are satisfied with the
     modifications requested in their guidelines, and only minor changes are
     required. No other review rounds will be planned.


Proceedings and Special Issue
-----------------------------

Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS,
http://www.eptcs.org/) is being considered for the publication of the
post-proceedings.
