Call For Papers

Program verification aims at proving that programs meet their specifications, i.e., that the actual program behaviour coincides with the desired one. Model checking is a specific approach to the verification of temporal properties of reactive and concurrent systems, which has proven successful in the area of finite-state programs. Abstract interpretation is a method for designing and comparing semantics of programs, expressing various types of programs properties; in particular, it has been successfully used to infer run-time program properties that can be valuable to optimize programs. Clearly, among these three methods, there are similarities concerning their goals and their domains of applications. The main goal of the workshop is that of enhancing cross-fertilization among these areas and in this way to clarify their relationships.

Papers are solicited, reporting on the use of techniques for deriving or proving properties of programs and more generally of finite dynamic systems. Contributions examining the relations among the different techniques will be considered particularly interesting. Description of work in progress is also welcome.

Topics include but are not limited to:

  • program verification
  • static analysis techniques
  • model checking
  • program certification
  • type systems
  • abstract domains
  • debugging techniques
  • compiler optimization.

Paper Sumbission:

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract ( 7 to 12 pages) by e-mail in PostScript format to cortesi@dsi.unive.it, following the LNCS guidelines.

At least one author of each accepted abstract is expected to attend the workshop.
