[ecoop-info] SETTA 2018: deadline extended to May 7

[Xinyu Feng]

 Dear all,

    Since April 29 - May 1 is a national holiday in China for the Labor
Day, we extend the paper submission deadline of SETTA 2018 to May 7. Note
that this extension would not affect the following timeline (e.g., the date
of author notification). We'll also keep the abstract submission open, so
that new submissions can still come in. Please see the CFP below.

SETTA 2018, Call for Papers 4th International Symposium on Dependable
Software Engineering: Theories, Tools and Applications Beijing, China,
September 4 - 6, 2018 <http://lcs.ios.ac.cn/setta2018/> (Co-located with
CONCUR, FORMATS, and QEST as part of CONFESTA)
*********************************************************************
*IMPORTANT DATES* - Submission deadline: May 7, 2018 - Author notification:
June 14, 2018 - Camera-ready version: June 28, 2018 - Symposium: September
4-6, 2018 *ABOUT* SETTA aims to bring together international researchers
and practitioners in the field of software technology. Its focus is on
formal methods and advanced software technologies, especially for
engineering complex, large-scale artifacts like cyber-physical systems,
networks of things, enterprise systems, or cloud-based services.
Contributions relating to formal methods or integrating them with software
engineering, as well as papers advancing scalability or widening the scope
of rigorous methods to new design goals are especially welcome. As part of
CONFESTA ( http://confesta2018.csp.escience.cn/ ), SETTA 2018 will be
co-located with CONCUR, FORMATS and QUEST. *TOPICS* Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to: - Requirements specification and analysis
- Formalisms for modeling, design and implementation - Model checking,
theorem proving, and decision procedures - Scalable approaches to formal
system analysis - Formal approaches to simulation and testing - Integration
of formal methods into software engineering practice - Contract-based
engineering of components, systems, and systems of systems - Formal and
engineering aspects of software evolution and maintenance - Parallel and
multicore programming - Embedded, real-time, hybrid, and cyber-physical
systems - Mixed-critical applications and systems - Formal aspects of
service-oriented and cloud computing - Safety, reliability, robustness, and
fault-tolerance - Dependability of smart software and systems - Empirical
analysis techniques and integration with formal methods - Applications and
industrial experience reports - Tool integration *Submission* Authors are
invited to submit papers on original research, industrial applications, or
position papers proposing challenges in fundamental research and
technology. The latter two types of submissions are expected to contribute
to the development of formal methods either by substantiating the
advantages of integrating formal methods into the development cycle or
through delineating need for research by demonstrating weaknesses of
existing technologies, especially when addressing new application domains.
Submissions can take the form of either regular or short papers. Short
papers can discuss ongoing research at an early stage, including PhD
projects. Regular Papers should not exceed 16 pages and short papers should
not exceed 6 pages in LNCS format. The proceedings will be published as a
volume in Springer's LNCS series. Papers should be submitted electronically
through the EasyChair submission web page < https://easychair.org/conferen
ces/?conf=setta2018 >. All submissions must be in the PDF format. Papers
should be written in English. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not
submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers must be presented at
the conference. *Invited Speakers* - Moshe Vardi (joint keynote speaker for
CONFESTA 2018), Rice University - Tao Xie, UIUC - Hongseok Yang, KAIST
