SynCoP 2016
CALL FOR PAPERS
3rd International Workshop on the SYNthesis of COmplex Parameters (SynCoP 2016)
(ETAPS satellite event) | http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/SynCoP2016/
SynCoP aims at bringing together researchers working on verification and parameter synthesis for systems with discrete or continuous parameters, in which the parameters influence the behavior of the system in ways that are complex and difficult to predict. Such problems may arise for real-time, hybrid or probabilistic systems in a large variety of application domains. The parameters can be continuous (e.g., timing, probabilities, costs) or discrete (e.g., number of processes). The goal can be to identify suitable parameters to achieve desired behavior, or to verify the behavior for a given range of parameter values.
The workshop will take place on Sunday, April 3, 2016, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, as a satellite event of ETAPS.
The workshop may be able to (at least partially) support the travel and the ETAPS workshop registration fees for one or two PhD or Master student(s).
