ATVA 2015

13th International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis

The purpose of ATVA is to promote research on theoretical and practical aspects of automated analysis, verification and synthesis by providing a forum for interaction between the regional and the international research communities and industry in the field. The previous events were held in Taiwan - 2003-5, Beijing - 2006, Tokyo - 2007, Seoul - 2008, Macao - 2009, Singapore - 2010, Taiwan - 2011, Thiruvananthapuram - 2012, Hanoi - 2013, and Sydney - 2014.

Scope

ATVA 2015 solicits high-quality submissions in areas related to the theory and practice of automated analysis and verification of hardware and software systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Formalisms for modeling hardware, software and embedded systems
• Specification and verification of finite-state, infinite-state and parameterized system
• Program analysis and software verification
• Analysis and verification of hardware circuits, systems-on-chip and embedded systems
• Analysis of real-time, hybrid, priced/weighted and probabilistic systems
• Deductive, algorithmic, compositional, and abstraction/refinement techniques for analysis and verification
• Analytical techniques for safety, security, and dependability
• Testing and runtime analysis based on verification technology
• Analysis and verification of parallel and concurrent hardware/software systems
• Verification in industrial practice
• Applications and case studies

Invited Speakers for keynotes and tutorials

• Dino Distefano (Queen Mary, University of London, UK)
• Joost-Pieter Katoen (RWTH Aachen University, Germany)
