[Caml-list] SynCoP 2014: Final call for papers / Call for informal presentations

[We apologize for multiple copies.]

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

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

(ETAPS satellite event)

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 event of ETAPS 2014.

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

TOPICS OF THE WORKSHOP
=================

The scientific subject of the workshop covers (but is not limited to)
the following areas:

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
=================

The content of papers should be original and not submitted elsewhere.
All papers will be assigned to at least three reviews.

The page limit is 15 pages in the EPTCS format (http://style.eptcs.org/).
All accepted papers will be published in the Electronic Proceedings in
Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series, that are free and open
access online proceedings.
The papers will be referenced in major databases such as DBLP, and
published under the Creative Commons CC-BY license.
Hereby, the authors retain their copyright.
(Substantial revisions may later be published elsewhere.)

Submission will be made in English in PDF format through Easychair:

=================
INFORMAL PRESENTATIONS
=================
Informal presentations are presentations of ongoing work, or work
already published somewhere. It does not require to be mature nor original.
Submission will be made in the form of a one-page abstract in the EPTCS
format submitted by email to syncop2014@easychair.org.
Informal presentations will not be part of the proceedings.

Informal presentation submission: February 20th, 2014
Notification: February 27th, 2014
