SPIN 2020 (Cancelled)

27th International Symposium on Model Checking of Software (SPIN 2020)

The 27th edition of the SPIN symposium aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in automated tool-based techniques for the analysis of software as well as models of software, for the purpose of verification and validation. The symposium specifically focuses on concurrent software but does not exclude the analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel algorithms, tool development, and empirical evaluation.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Formal verification techniques for automated analysis of software
• Formal analysis for modeling languages, such as UML/state charts
• Formal specification languages, temporal logic, design-by-contract
• Model-checking
• Automated theorem proving, including SAT and SMT
• Verifying compilers
• Abstraction and symbolic execution techniques
• Static analysis and abstract interpretation
• Combination of verification techniques
• Modular and compositional verification techniques
• Verification of timed and probabilistic systems
• Automated testing using advanced analysis techniques
• Combination of static and dynamic analyses
• Derivation of specifications, test cases, or other useful material via formal analysis
• Case studies of interesting systems or with interesting results
• Engineering and implementation of software verification and analysis tools
• Benchmark and comparative studies for formal verification and analysis tools
• Formal methods of education and training
• Insightful surveys or historical accounts on topics of relevance to the symposium
