CFP - CAV 2009
*CALL FOR PAPERS*
21st International Conference on Computer Aided Verification *CAV 2009*
June 26 - July 2, 2009
Grenoble
*Aims and Scope*
CAV 2009 is the 21st in a series dedicated to the advancement of the
theory and practice of computer-aided formal analysis methods for
hardware and software systems. The conference covers the spectrum from
theoretical results to concrete applications, with an emphasis on
practical verification tools and the algorithms and techniques that are
needed for their implementation. The proceedings of the conference will
be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series. Topics of interest include:
- Modeling and specification formalisms
- Algorithms and tools for verifying models and implementations
- Deductive, compositional, and abstraction techniques for verification
- Testing and runtime analysis based on verification technology
- Hardware verification techniques
- Program analysis and software verification
- Analysis of embedded and hybrid systems
- Verification techniques for security
- Applications and case studies
- Verification in industrial practice
*Paper Submission*
There are two categories of submissions:
*A. Regular Papers:* Submissions, not exceeding fourteen (14) pages
using Springer's LNCS format, should contain original research, and
sufficient detail to assess the merits and relevance of the
contribution. For papers reporting experimental results, authors are
strongly encouraged to make their data available with their submission.
Submissions reporting on case studies in an industrial context are
strongly invited, and should describe details, weaknesses and strength
in sufficient depth. Simultaneous submission to other conferences with
proceedings or submission of material that has already been published
elsewhere is not allowed.
*B. Tool Presentations:* Submissions, not exceeding five (6) pages using
Springer's LNCS format, should describe the implemented tool and its
novel features. A demonstration is expected to accompany a tool
presentation. Papers describing tools that have already been presented
(in any conference) will be accepted only if significant and clear
enhancements to the tool are reported and implemented.
Papers exceeding the stated maximum length run the risk of rejection
without review.
The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal period where authors
will have the option to respond to reviewer comments.
Papers can be submitted in PDF or PS format. Submission is done with
EasyChair. Informations about the submission procedure will be available
at:
