We apologize if you get this message multiple times. ----- Call for Papers: SPIN 2008 15th International SPIN Workshop on Model Checking of Software August 10-12, 2008, Los Angeles, USA
http://compilers.cs.ucla.edu/spin08 Aim and Scope: The SPIN workshop is a forum for practitioners and researchers interested in state space-based techniques for the validation and analysis of software systems. Theoretical techniques and empirical evaluations based on explicit representations of state spaces, as implemented in the SPIN model checker or other tools, or techniques based on combination of explicit representations with other representations, are the focus of this workshop. We particularly welcome papers describing the development and application of state space exploration techniques in testing and verifying security-critical software, enterprise and web applications, embedded software, and other interesting software platforms. The workshop aims to encourage interactions and exchanges of ideas with all related areas in software engineering. Important Dates and Deadlines ----------------------------- Deadline for submission of full papers: April 2, 2008 Notification of acceptance/rejection: May 10, 2008. Deadline for final version of accepted papers: May 28, 2008. Workshop: August 10-12, 2008. Topics of Interest ------------------ Algorithms and storage methods for explicit state model checking Directed model checking using heuristics Parallel or distributed model checking using multi-core computers or multiple computers Techniques for dealing with infinite state spaces Model checking of timed and probabilistic systems Abstraction and the use of static analysis to reduce state spaces Combinations of enumerative and symbolic techniques Analysis for modeling languages, including SE languages such as UML/state charts New property specification languages, including new forms of temporal logic Model checking of programming languages and code analysis Automated testing using model checking techniques Derivation of invariants, test cases, or other useful material from state spaces Combination of model-checking techniques with other analysis techniques Modularity and compositionality Comparative studies, including to other model checking techniques Case studies of interesting systems or with interesting results Theoretical and algorithmic foundations of model-checking based analysis Engineering and implementation of model-checking tools and platforms Insightful surveys or historical accounts on topics of relevance to SPIN workshops Solicited Contributions ----------------------- With the exception of survey and history papers, the papers should contain original work which has not been submitted or accepted for publication elsewhere. Submissions should adhere to the LNCS format. We solicit two kinds of papers: 1. Technical Papers. No longer than 18 pages in LNCS format. All accepted technical papers will be included in the proceedings. 2. Tool Presentations. This kind of submissions should consist of two parts. The first part is at most 5 page description of the tool. If accepted, this part will be published in the workshop proceedings. The second part should describe an informal plan for an oral presentation of the tool. This part will not be included in the proceedings. The proceedings of SPIN usually appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. We are confident to continue this tradition for the 2008 edition.
