Invited speakers:
- Christoph Weidenbach, Max-Planck-Institut fuer Informatik

Deadlines:
- Paper submission: June 11, 2017
- Paper notification: July 3, 2017
- Workshop: August 7, 2017
Many Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be
modeled directly using Horn clauses, and many recent advances in the
CLP and CAV communities have centered around efficiently solving
problems presented as Horn clauses.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the
communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP),
Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated
Deduction (e.g., CADE), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis,
verification and synthesis.
Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by
these communities at different times and from different perspectives,
and this workshop is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful
exchange and integration of experiences.
The workshop follows three previous meetings: HCVS 2016 in Eindhoven,
The Netherlands (w/ETAPS), HCVS 2015 in San Francisco, CA, USA
(w/CAV), and HCVS 2014 in Vienna, Austria (w/VSL).
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of Horn
clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas:
- Analysis and verification of programs and systems of various kinds
(e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, higher-order,
concurrent)
- Program synthesis
- Program testing
- Program transformation
- Constraint solving
- Type systems
- Case studies and tools
- Challenging problems
We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of
Horn-clause based analysis and tool descriptions. We also solicit
extended abstracts describing work-in-progress, as well as
presentations covering previously published results that are of
interest to the workshop.
PC Chairs:
- Alberto Griggio (Fondazione Bruno Kessler)
- Manuel V. Hermenegildo (IMDEA Software Institute and T.U. Madrid)
Program Committee:
- Nikolaj Bjorner (Microsoft Research)
- Mats Carlsson (SICS)
- Grigory Fedyukovich (University of Washington)
- Fabio Fioravanti (University of Chieti-Pescara)
- John Gallagher (Roskilde University)
- Pierre Ganty (IMDEA Software Institute)
- Gopal Gupta (U.T. Dallas)
- Michael Leuschel (University of Duesseldorf)
- Pedro Lopez-Garcia (CSIC)
- David Monniaux (University of Grenoble)
- Jorge A. Navas (SRI International)
- Maurizio Proietti (IASI-CNR)
- Philipp Ruemmer (Uppsala University)
- Andrey Rybalchenko (Microsoft Research)
- Valerio Senni (ALES - UTRC)
Submission has to be done in one of the following formats:
- Regular papers (up to 12 pages plus bibliography, typeset in EPTCS
format), which should present previously unpublished work (completed
or in progress), including descriptions of research, tools, and
applications.
- Extended abstracts (up to 3 pages in EPTCS format), which describe
work in progress or aim to initiate discussions.
- Presentation-only papers, i.e., papers already submitted or
presented at a conference or another workshop. Such papers can be
submitted in any format, and will not be included in the workshop
post-proceedings.
All submitted papers will be refereed by the program committee and
will be selected for inclusion in accordance with the referee
reports. Accepted regular papers and extended abstracts will be
published electronically as a volume in the Electronic Proceedings in
Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series, see
http://www.eptcs.org/
Authors of accepted papers are required to ensure that at least one of
them will be present at the workshop. Papers must be submitted through
the EasyChair system using the web page:
