************************************************************************** 



4th International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification 
Borca di Cadore, Dolomites, Italy - August 29th - 31th, 2013

http://gandalf.di.univr.it/


OBJECTIVES 

The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers from academia 
and industry which are actively working in the fields of Games, Automata, 
Logics, and Formal Verification. The idea is to cover an ample spectrum of 
themes, ranging from theory to applications, and stimulate 
cross-fertilization. Papers focused on formal methods are especially 
welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on 
all relevant topics in these areas. Papers discussing new ideas that are 
at an early stage of development are also welcome. 


LIST OF TOPICS 

The topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the 
following: 

Automata Theory 
Automated Deduction 
Computational aspects of Game Theory 
Concurrency and Distributed computation 
Decision Procedures 
Deductive, Compositional, and Abstraction Techniques for Verification 
Finite Model Theory 
First-order and Higher-order Logics 
Formal Languages 
Formal Methods for Systems Biology, Hybrid, Embedded, and Mobile Systems
Games and Automata for Verification 
Game Semantics 
Logical aspects of Computational Complexity 
Logics of Programs 
Modal and Temporal Logics 
Model Checking 
Models of Reactive and Real-Time Systems 
Program Analysis and Software Verification 
Run-time Verification and Testing 
Specification and Verification of Finite and Infinite-state Systems 
Synthesis 


INVITED SPEAKERS 

Alessandro Cimatti (ITC-IRST, Italy)
Thomas Henzinger (IST, Austria)
Christof Loeding (University of Aachen, Germany)


PAPER SUBMISSION 

Submitted papers should not exceed fourteen (14) pages using EPTCS format, 
be unpublished and contain original research. For papers reporting 
experimental results, authors are encouraged to make their data available 
with their submission. 
Submissions must be in PDF or PS format and will be handled via EasyChair. 


IMPORTANT DATES 

Abstract submission: May 1, 2013
Paper submission: May 8, 2013
Acceptance notification: June 17, 2013
Final version: June 26, 2013
Conference: August 29-31, 2013


PROCEEDINGS 

The proceedings will be published by Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical 
Computer Science. 
A special issue of a major international journal to publish an extended 
and revised version of the best symposium papers is also under 
consideration. Revised versions of the selected papers from the previous 
editions lead to one special issue of the International Journal of 
Foundation of Computer Science (GandALF 2010) and two special issues 
of Theoretical Computer Science (GandALF 2011 and 2012).
