SPIN 2017

24th International Symposium on Model Checking of Software

Santa Barbara, CA, USA, July 13-14, 2017


http://conf.researchr.org/home/spin-2017<http://conf.researchr.org/home/spin-2017/>

Collocated with ISSTA

________________________________

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 analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel algorithms, tool development, empirical evaluation, and education.

History: The SPIN symposium originated as a workshop focusing on explicit state model checking, specifically as related to the Spin model checker. However, over the years it has evolved to a broadly scoped symposium for software analysis using any automated techniques, including model checking, automated theorem proving, and symbolic execution.

SPIN 2017 will be organized as an ACM SIGSOFT event, collocated with the International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA 2017): http://conf.researchr.org/home/issta-2017. In addition there will be a one-day Rigorous Examination of Reactive Systems verification challenge Workshop (RERS 2017): http://www.rers-challenge.org/2017. An overview of the previous SPIN symposia (and early workshops) can be found at: http://spinroot.com/spin/symposia.

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 education and training
  *   Insightful surveys or historical accounts on topics of relevance to the symposium

Submission Guidelines
________________________________

The contributions to SPIN 2017 will be published as ACM Proceedings, and should be submitted in the ACM Conference Format: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template.

With the exception of survey and history papers, submissions must be original and should not have been published previously or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this symposium.

We are soliciting two categories of papers:

  *   Full Research Papers describing fully developed work and complete results (10 pages);
  *   Short Papers presenting tools, technology, experiences with lessons learned, new ideas, work in progress with preliminary results, and novel contributions to formal methods education (4 pages).

Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair SPIN 2017 submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spin2017.

Best Paper awards will be given and announced at the conference.

A selection of papers will be invited to a special issue of the International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT).
