RV 2017

The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification (RV 2017)

September 13-16 | Seattle, WA, USA | http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk | rv2017@easychair.org

Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor and effectiveness compared to conventional testing, and are generally 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, but are not limited to:

• specification languages
• monitor construction techniques
• program instrumentation
• logging, recording, and replay
• combination of static and dynamic analysis
• specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces
• monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems
• runtime checking of privacy and security policies
• statistical model checking
• metrics and statistical information gathering
• program/system execution visualization
• fault localization, containment, recovery and repair
• integrated vehicle health management (IVHM)

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.

We welcome contributions exploring the combination of runtime verification techniques with machine learning and static analysis. Whilst these are highlight topics, papers falling into these categories will not be treated differently from other contributions.

RV 2017 will be held September 13-16 in Seattle, WA, USA. RV 2017 will feature a tutorial day (September 13), and three conference days (September 14-16).
