[Caml-list] SynCoP 2014: 1st Call for Papers

====================================================================
Call for papers

SynCoP 2014
1st International Workshop on the SYNthesis of COntinuous Parameters

http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/SynCoP2014/
====================================================================


SynCoP aims at bringing together researchers working on parameter
synthesis for systems with continuous variables, where the parameters
consist of a (usually dense) set of constant values. Such problems arise
for real-time, hybrid or probabilistic systems where the goal is to
identify suitable parameters to achieve desired behavior, or to verify
the behavior for a given range of parameter values. A parameter could
be, e.g., a delay in a real-time system, or a reaction rate in a
biological cell model.

The workshop will take place on Saturday the 5th of April 2014, in
Grenoble, France, as a satellite of ETAPS 2014.
