RV 2016
16th International Conference on Runtime Verification
September 23-30, Madrid, Spain
http://rv2016.imag.fr <
http://rv2016.imag.fr/>
Scope
Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of =
software and hardware system executions. Runtime verification techniques =
are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they =
are significantly more powerful and versatile than conventional testing, =
and more practical than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime =
verification can be used prior to deployment, for testing, verification, =
and debugging purposes, and after deployment for ensuring reliability, =
safety, and security and for providing fault containment and recovery as =
well as online system repair. Topics of interest to the conference =
include:
- specification languages
- specification mining
- program instrumentation
- monitor construction techniques
- logging, recording, and replay
- runtime enforcement, fault detection, localization, containment, =
recovery and repair
- program steering and adaptation
- metrics and statistical information gathering
- combination of static and dynamic analyses
- program execution visualization
- monitoring techniques for safety/mission-critical systems
- monitoring distributed systems, cloud services, and big data =
applications
- monitoring security and privacy policies
Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical =
systems, safety/mission-critical systems, enterprise and systems =
software, autonomous and reactive control systems, health management and =
diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy.
Invited Speakers
The program of RV 2016 will feature invited talks from:
Gul Agha (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA)
Oded Maler (CNRS and University of Grenoble-Alpes, France)
Fred B. Schneider (Cornell University, USA)
Overview
RV 2016 will be held September 23-30 in Madrid, Spain. RV 2016 will =
feature the first summer school on Runtime Verification (September =
23-25), two workshop days (September 26-25), and three conference days =
(September 28-30).
General Information on Submissions
All papers and tutorials will appear in the conference proceedings in an =
LNCS volume. Submitted papers and tutorials must use the LNCS/Springer =
style. At least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must =
attend RV 2016 to present the paper. Papers must be written in English =
and submitted electronically (in PDF format) using the EasyChair system. =
The below page limitations include all text and figures, but exclude =
references. Additional details omitted due to space limitations may be =
included in a clearly marked appendix that will be reviewed at the =
discretion of reviewers.
Research Papers Track
Research papers can be submitted in two categories: regular and short =
papers. Papers in both categories will be reviewed by at least 3 members =
of the Program Committee.
Regular Papers (up to 15 pages) should present original unpublished =
results. Theoretical papers, system and application papers as well as =
case studies on runtime verification are all welcome.
The Program Committee of RV 2015 will give a best paper award. A =
selection of accepted regular papers will be invited to appear in a =
special issue of the Springer Journal on Formal Methods in System =
Design.
Short Papers (up to 6 pages) may present novel but not necessarily =
thoroughly worked out ideas, for example emerging runtime verification =
techniques and applications, or techniques and applications that =
establish relationships between runtime verification and other domains. =
Accepted short papers will be presented in special talk (15 minutes) and =
poster sessions.
Tool Papers Track
The aim of the RV 2016 tool track is to provide an opportunity for =
researchers and practitioners to show and to discuss the latest =
advances, experiences and challenges in devising and developing reliable =
software tools for runtime verification. All tool papers will be =
reviewed by at least 3 members of the Tool Committee. An author of each =
accepted tool paper should give a 15-20 minutes demonstration during the =
conference.
All tool papers must include information on tool availability, maturity, =
selected experimental results and it should provide a link to a website =
containing the theoretical background and user guide. Furthermore, we =
strongly encourage authors to make their tools and benchmarks available =
with their submission.
We encourage tool papers to include a script in an appendix (not =
included in the page count) describing how the demo will be conducted =
during the conference presentation with screenshots presenting =
step-by-step the tool’s capabilities, highlighting the main =
characteristics and the usage.
Tool papers can be submitted into two categories:
Regular Tool Papers (up to 8 pages). A tool paper in this category =
should present a new tool, a new tool component or significant and novel =
extensions to existing tools supporting runtime verification. Each =
submission should be original and not published previously in a tool =
paper form.
Tool Exhibition Papers (up to 4 pages). A tool paper in this category =
can have been previously published. A tool paper in this category should =
be oriented towards the tool usage and is an opportunity for the =
developers to present them at RV 2016.
Tutorial Track
Tutorials are two-to-three-hour presentations on a selected topic. =
Additionally, tutorial presenters will be offered to publish a paper of =
up to 20 pages in the LNCS conference proceedings.
A proposal for a tutorial must contain the subject of the tutorial, a =
proposed timeline, a note on previous similar tutorials (if applicable) =
and the differences to this incarnation, and a biography of the =
presenter. The proposal must not exceed 2 pages. Tutorial proposals will =
be reviewed by the Program Committee.
