Call for Papers
-------------------
23rd International Conference on Computer Aided Verification (CAV 2011)
July 14-20, 2011
Cliff Lodge, Snowbird, Utah, USA
http://www.cs.utah.edu/cav2011
Aims and Scope
-------------------
CAV 2011 is the 23rd in a series dedicated to the advancement of the theory and
practice of computer-aided formal analysis methods for hardware and software
systems. CAV considers it vital to continue its leadership in hardware
verification, maintain its recent momentum in software verification, and
consider new domains such as biological systems. The conference covers the
spectrum from theoretical results to concrete applications, with an emphasis on
practical verification tools and the algorithms and techniques that are needed
for their implementation. The proceedings of the conference will be published
in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A selection of
papers will be invited to a special issue of Formal Methods in System Design
and the Journal of the ACM.
Topics of interest include:
- Algorithms and tools for verifying models and implementations
- Hardware verification techniques
- Hybrid systems and embedded systems verification
- Deductive, compositional, and abstraction techniques for verification
- Program analysis and software verification
- Verification techniques for security
- Testing and runtime analysis based on verification technology
- Verification methods for parallel and concurrent hardware/software systems
- Applications and case studies
- Verification in industrial practice
- Formal methods for biological systems
Events
---------
There will be pre-conference workshops on July 14-15. The main conference will
take place on July 16-20. There will be tutorials on the first day of the
conference (July 16). Please see the conference website for details.
CAV Award
------------
The annual CAV Award has been established for a specific fundamental
contribution or a series of outstanding contributions to the field of Computer
Aided Verification. The award of $10,000 will be granted to an individual or a
group of individuals chosen by the Award Committee from a list of nominations.
The Award Committee may choose to make no award. The CAV Award shall be
presented in an award ceremony at CAV and a citation will be published in a
Journal of Record (currently, Formal Methods in System Design).
Call for Nominations for the CAV Award
------------------------------------------
Anyone can submit a nomination. The Award Committee can originate a nomination.
Anyone, with the exception of members of the Award Committee, is eligible to
receive the Award. A nomination must state clearly the contribution(s), explain
why the contribution is fundamental or the series of contributions is
outstanding, and be accompanied by supporting letters and other evidence of
worthiness. Nominations should include a proposed citation (up to 25 words), a
succinct (100-250 words) description of the contribution(s), and a detailed
statement to justify the nomination. The cited contribution(s) must have been
made not more recently than five years ago and not over twenty years ago. In
addition, the contribution(s) should not yet have received recognition via a
major award, such as the ACM Turing or Kanellakis Awards. The nominee may have
received such an award for other contributions.
The 2011 CAV Award Committee consists of Moshe Vardi (chair), Thomas Henzinger,
Rajeev Alur, and Marta Kwiatkowska. The nominations should be sent to Moshe
Vardi at [email protected]. Nominations must be received by January 21, 2011.
Paper Submission
--------------------
There are two categories of submissions:
A. Regular Papers: Submissions, not exceeding fourteen (14) pages using
Springer's LNCS format, should contain original research, and sufficient detail
to assess the merits and relevance of the contribution. For papers reporting
experimental results, authors are strongly encouraged to make their data
available with their submission. Submissions reporting on case studies in an
industrial context are strongly invited, and should describe details,
weaknesses and strength in sufficient depth. Simultaneous submission to other
conferences with proceedings or submission of material that has already been
published elsewhere is not allowed.
B. Tool Presentations: Submissions, not exceeding six (6) pages using
Springer's LNCS format, should describe the implemented tool and its novel
features. An appendix that will not be part of the published presentation may
be added for use in the program committee selection process. A demonstration,
in a separate demonstration session, is expected to accompany a tool
presentation. Papers describing tools that have already been presented (in any
conference) will be accepted only if significant and clear enhancements to the
tool are reported and implemented.
Papers exceeding the stated maximum length run the risk of rejection without
review. For regular papers, an appendix can be joined to the submissions
providing additional material such as details on proofs or experimentations.
The appendix is not guaranteed to be read or taken into account by the
reviewers and it should not contain information necessary to the understanding
and the evaluation of the presented work. The review process will include a
feedback/rebuttal period where authors will have the option to respond to
reviewer comments.
Papers must be submitted in PDF format. Submission is done with EasyChair.
Information about the submission procedure will be available at:
http://www.cs.utah.edu/cav2011.

- Paper submission (firm): January 21, 2011 at 23:59 Samoa time (UTC/GMT-11)
- Author feedback/rebuttal period: March 7-9, 2011
- Notification of acceptance/rejection: March 19, 2011
