Scope
--------
CAV 2016 is the 28th in a series dedicated to the advancement of the theory and
practice of computer-aided formal analysis methods for hardware and software
systems. CAV considers it vital to continue spurring advances in hardware and
software verification while expanding to new domains such as biological systems
and computer security. 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 LNCS series. A selection of papers will be invited to a special issue
of Formal Methods in System Design and the Journal of the ACM.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Algorithms and tools for verifying models and implementations
* Algorithms and tools for system synthesis
* Mathematical and logical foundations of verification and synthesis
* Specifications and correctness criteria for programs and systems
* Deductive verification using proof assistants
* Hardware verification techniques
* Program analysis and software verification
* Software synthesis
* Hybrid systems and embedded systems verification
* Compositional and abstraction-based techniques for verification
* Probabilistic and statistical approaches to verification
* Verification methods for parallel and concurrent systems
* Testing and run-time analysis based on verification technology
* Decision procedures and solvers for verification and synthesis
* Applications and case studies in verification and synthesis
* Verification in industrial practice
* New application areas for algorithmic verification and synthesis
* Formal models and methods for security
* Formal models and methods for biological systems
Paper Submission
------------------------
*** NEW this year: Double-blind submissions ***
Submissions on a wide range of topics are sought, particularly ones that
identify new research directions. CAV 2016 is not limited to topics discussed
in previous instances of the conference. Authors concerned about the
appropriateness of a topic may communicate by electronic mail with the
conference chairs prior to submission.
As explained below, CAV 2016 will follow a lightweight double-blind review
process. Submissions that are not "blinded" will be rejected without review.
Submissions will be in two categories: Regular Papers and Tool Papers.
* Regular Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format, not counting
references. These papers should contain original research and sufficient detail
to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution. Papers will be
evaluated on basis of a combination of correctness, technical depth,
significance, novelty, clarity, and elegance. We welcome papers on theory, case
studies and comparisons with existing experimental research, as well as
combinations of new theory with experimental evaluation. A strong theoretical
paper is not required to have an experimental component. On the other hand,
strong papers reproducing and comparing existing results experimentally do not
require new theoretical insights.
* Tool Papers should not exceed 6 pages, not counting references. These papers
should describe system and implementation aspects of a tool with a large
(potential) user base (experiments not required, rehash of theory strongly
discouraged). 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.
Unlike last year, there is no separate Short Paper category.
Prior to the registration deadline, the authors will register their paper by
uploading information on the submission title, abstract (of at most 300 words),
authors, topics, and conflicts to the conference web site. Papers that are not
registered on time will be rejected.
We encourage authors to provide any supplementary material that is required to
support the claims made in the paper, such as detailed proofs or experimental
data. These materials should be uploaded at submission time, as a single pdf or
a tarball, not via a URL. It will be made available to reviewers only after
they have submitted their first-draft reviews and hence need not be anonymized.
Reviewers are under no obligation to look at the supplementary material but may
refer to it if they have questions about the material in the body of the paper.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences with proceedings or submission of
material that has already been published elsewhere is not allowed.
The review process will include a feedback/rebuttal period where authors will
have the option to respond to reviewer comments. The PC chairs may solicit
further reviews after the rebuttal period.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submission will be via the HotCRP
system. The submission URL will be available on the website of the conference
closer to the deadline.
Lightweight Double-Blind Reviewing Process
-------------------------------------------------------------
CAV 2016 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process. This means
that committee members will not have access to authors' names or affiliations
as they review a paper; however, authors' names will be revealed once reviews
have been submitted and online discussion has begun.
To facilitate this, submitted papers must adhere to two rules:
(1) author names and institutions must be omitted, and
(2) references to authors' own related work should be in the third person
(e.g., not "We build on our previous work ..." but rather "We build on the work
of ...").
The purpose of this process is to help the PC and external reviewers come to an
initial judgement about the paper without bias, not to make it impossible for
them to discover the authors if they were to try. Nothing should be done in
the name of anonymity that weakens the submission or makes the job of reviewing
the paper more difficult (e.g., important background references should not be
omitted or anonymized). In addition, authors should feel free to disseminate
their ideas or draft versions of their paper as they normally would. For
instance, authors may post drafts of their papers on the web or give talks on
their research ideas. A document answering frequently asked questions about the
double-blind review process is available on the conference website.
Artifact Evaluation
------------------------
Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit their artifacts for
evaluation by a special committee.

- Research papers
FASE, FOSSACS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pp (excluding
bibliography of max 2 pp) for research papers, whereas POST allows at
most 20 pp (excluding bibliography of max 2 pp) and ESOP 25 pp
(excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).
Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication
in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed
in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page
limit. ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers
must be understandable without them.
In addition to regular research papers, TACAS solicits also case study
papers (at most 15 pp, excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).
Both TACAS and FASE solicit also regular tool papers (at most 15 pp,
excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).
- Tool demonstration papers
Submissions should consist of two parts:
* The first part, at most 4 pages, should describe the tool
presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and
provide information that illustrates the maturity and robustness of
the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.)
* The second part, at most 6 pages, should explain how the
demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including
screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the
proceedings, but will be evaluated.
ESOP and FOSSACS do not accept tool demonstration papers.
TACAS has a page limit of 6 pages for tool demonstrations.

[Caml-list] FSCD'16 Preliminary Call for Papers
PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS
First International Conference on Formal Structures for
Computation and Deduction (FSCD'16)
22 June -- 26 June 2016, Porto, Portugal
http://fscd2016.dcc.fc.up.pt/
==========================================================================
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract Submission: 29 January 2016
Paper Submission : 5 February 2016
Rebuttal : 21 - 23 March 2016
Notification : 6 April 2016
==========================================================================
FSCD (http://fscdconference.org/) covers all aspects of formal
structures for computation and deduction from theoretical foundations
to applications. Building on two communities, RTA (Rewriting
Techniques and Applications) and TLCA (Typed Lambda Calculi and
Applications), FSCD embraces their core topics and broadens their
scope to closely related areas in logics, proof theory and new
emerging models of computation such as quantum computing and homotopy
type theory. The name of the new conference comes from an unpublished
but important book by Gerard Huet that strongly influenced many
researchers in the area.
Suggested, but not exclusive, list of topics for submission are:
1 Calculi
* Lambda calculus
* Logics (first-order, higher-order, equational, modal, linear,
classical, constructive, etc.)
* Rewriting systems (string, term, higher-order, graph, conditional,
modulo, infinitary, etc.)
* Proof theory (natural deduction, sequent calculus, proof nets, etc.)
* Type theory and logical frameworks
* Homotopy type theory
2. Methods in Computation and Deduction
* Type systems (polymorphism, dependent, recursive, intersection,
session, etc.)
* Induction, coinduction
* Matching, unification, completion, orderings
* Strategies (normalization, completeness, etc.)
* Tree automata
* Model building and model checking
* Proof search (resolution, paramodulation, narrowing, focusing, etc.)
* Constraint solving and decision procedures
3. Semantics
* Operational semantics and abstract machines
* Game Semantics and applications
* Domain theory and categorical models
* Quantitative models (timing, probabilities, resources, etc.)
* Quantum computation and emerging models in computation
4. Algorithmic Analysis and Transformations of Formal Systems
* Type Inference and type checking
* Abstract Interpretation
* Complexity analysis and implicit computational complexity
* Checking termination, confluence, derivational complexity and
related properties
* Symbolic computation
5. Tools and Applications
* Programming and proof environments (proof assistants, automated
theorem prover, proof checkers, specialized provers, dependently
typed languages, etc.)
* Verification tools (abstract interpretation, termination,
confluence, specialized provers, etc.)
* Libraries for proof assistants and interactive theorem provers
(support for variable bindings, nominal, polynomial, equality, etc.)
* Case studies in proof assistants and interactive theorem provers
(formalizations, mechanizations, certifications)
* Certifications (theorems, rewriting techniques, etc.)
* Applications of formal systems inside and outside of CS (biology,
linguistics, physics, education, etc.)

[Caml-list] SR 2015: Call for Participation - Oxford, Sept 21-22, 2015
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SR 2015 - Call For Participation
3rd International Workshop on Strategic Reasoning
Oxford, 21-22 September, 2015
Link https://sites.google.com/site/sr2015homepage/
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategic reasoning is one of the most active research areas in the
multi-agent system domain. The literature in this field is extensive
and provides a plethora of logics for modelling strategic ability.
Theoretical results are now being used in many exciting domains,
including software tools for information system security, robot teams
with sophisticated adaptive strategies, and automatic players capable
of beating expert human adversary, just to cite a few. All these
examples share the challenge of developing novel theories and tools
for agent strategies that take into account the likely behaviour of
adversaries. The SR international workshop aims to bring together
researchers working on different aspects of strategic reasoning in
computer science, artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems
research, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view.
