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 Sunday the 6th of April 2014, in Grenoble,
France, as a satellite of ETAPS 2014.

The workshop may be able to partially support the travel and the ETAPS
workshop
registration fees for one or two PhD or Master student(s).
