14th International Conference on
Runtime Verification
September 22 – 25, 2014
*Toronto, Canada*

Scope:
Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of
software and hardware system executions. Runtime verification techniques
are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they
are significantly more powerful and versatile than conventional testing,
and 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:
* specification languages
* specification mining
* program instrumentation
* monitor construction techniques
* logging, recording, and replay
* fault detection, localization, containment, recovery and repair
* program steering and adaptation
* metrics and statistical information gathering
* combination of static and dynamic analyses
* program execution visualization
* monitoring techniques for safety/mission-critical systems
* monitoring distributed systems, cloud services, and big data
applications
* monitoring security and privacy policies
Application areas of runtime verification include
safety/mission-critical systems, enterprise and systems software,
autonomous and reactive control systems, health management and diagnosis
systems, and system security and privacy.
Technical Research Papers Track:
Technical research papers can be submitted in two categories: regular
and short papers. Papers in both categories will be reviewed by the
conference Program Committee. All accepted technical papers will appear
in an LNCS <http://www.springer.com/series/558> volume. Submitted papers
must use the LNCS style
<http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0>. At least
one author of each accepted paper must attend RV’14 to present the
paper. Papers must be submitted electronically using theEasyChair
<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv2014> system.
* */Regular papers/* (up to 15 pages) should present original
unpublished results. Theoretical and experimental papers as well as
papers on applications of runtime verification and case studies are
all welcome. A non-monetary Best Paper Award will be given. A
selection of accepted regular papers will be invited to appear in a
special issue of the Springer Journal on Formal Methods in System
Design.
* */Short papers/* (up to 5 pages) may present novel but not
necessarily thoroughly worked out ideas, for example emerging
runtime verification techniques and applications, or techniques and
applications that establish relationships between runtime
verification and other domains. Accepted short papers will be
presented in special short talk (10 minutes) and poster sessions.

Tool Demonstrations Track:
The aim of the RV 2014 tool demonstration track is to provide an
opportunity for researchers and practitioners to show and to discuss the
latest advances, experiences and challenges in devising and developing
reliable software tools for runtime verification. Tool demonstration
papers will be reviewed by the Tools Track Program Committee. All
accepted tool demonstration papers will appear in the conference
proceedings LNCS volume. Submitted papers must use the LNCS style. At
least one author of each accepted paper must attend RV’14 to present the
paper. Papers must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair
<https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv2014> system.
Tool papers should meet the following criteria:
* A tool paper should present a new tool, a new tool component or
novel extensions to existing tools supporting runtime verification.
Each submission should be original and not published previously in a
tool paper form.
* Each submission must not exceed 8 pages in the LNCS/Springer
proceeding format, including all text, references and figures. The
paper must be written in English and provided in PDF format.
* Each submission must be accompanied at the time of the submission by
a short screencast (between 5-10 minutes), with voice and overlay
text commentary illustrating the demonstration of the tool (a link
to it should be provided in the paper).
* The paper must include information on tool availability, maturity,
selected experimental results and it should provide a link to a
website containing the theoretical background and user guide.
Furthermore, we strongly encourage authors to make their tools and
benchmarks available with their submission.
* Each tool paper must include a script in an appendix (not included
in the page count) describing how the demo will be conducted during
the conference presentation with screenshots presenting step-by-step
the tool’s capabilities, highlighting the main characteristics and
the usage.
Evaluation
Each submission will be reviewed by at least four members of the tool
demonstration track program committee. The evaluation criteria will include:
* the presentation quality
* the availability (possibly in a open-source format) of the software.
* the relevance for the Runtime Verification audience
* the technical soundness of the presented tool
* the originality of the underlying ideas

Competition on Software for Runtime Verification (CSRV-2014)
A satellite event of RV’14 is the first /International Competition on
Software for Runtime Verification/ (CRVS’14). The main aims of CSRV-2014
competition are to:
* Stimulate the development of new efficient and practical runtime
verification tools and the maintenance of the already developed ones.
* Produce a benchmark suite for runtime verification tools, by sharing
case studies and programs that researchers and developers can use in
the future to test and to validate their prototypes.
* Discuss the metrics employed for comparing the tools.
* Provide a comparison of the tools running with different benchmarks
and evaluating using different criteria.
* Enhance the visibility of presented tools among the different
communities (software engineering, formal methods and automated
verification, distributed computing, security, and safety-critical
systems) involved in software monitoring.
CRVS’14 will follow the following time line:
* *Declaration of intent:* December 15, 2013
* *Deadline for submission of benchmarks:* March 1, 2014
* *Monitoring tool submission:* June 1, 2014
* *Notification:* July 1, 2014
