VSTTE 2018: 10th Working Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and 
Experiments
Oxford, part of FLoC 2018
Oxford, UK, July 18-19, 2018

Conference websitehttp://vstte18.it.uu.se/
Submission linkhttps://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vstte2018
Abstract registration deadlineApril 15, 2018
Submission deadlineApril 22, 2018



The goal of the VSTTE conference series is to advance the state of the art in 
the science and technology of software verification, through the interaction of 
theory development, tool evolution, and experimental validation. VSTTE will 
bring together users and practitioners (from industry and academia), tool 
developers, and researchers working on theoretic aspects of verification.
Submission Guidelines

We welcome submissions describing significant advances in the production of 
verified software, i.e., software that has been proved to meet its functional 
specifications. Submissions of theoretical, practical, and experimental 
contributions are equally encouraged, including those that focus on specific 
problems or problem domains. We are especially interested in submissions 
describing large-scale verification efforts that involve collaboration, theory 
unification, tool integration, and formalized domain knowledge. We also welcome 
papers describing novel experiments and case studies evaluating verification 
techniques and technologies.

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal 
or conference. Contributions can be submitted in the form of full research 
papers (limited to 16 pages, not including references), and in the form of 
short papers (limited to 10 pages, not including references). The 
post-conference proceedings of VSTTE 2017 will be published in the LNCS series.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

Education;
Requirements modeling;
Specification languages;
Specification/verification/certification case studies;
Formal calculi;
Software design methods;
Automatic code generation;
Refinement methodologies;
Compositional analysis;
Verification tools, e.g., static analysis, dynamic analysis, model checking, 
theorem proving, satisfiability;
Tool integration;
Benchmarks;
Challenge problems;
Integrated verification environments.

Call for Tutorials (POPL 2016)



Since 2012, POPL has been/is home to TutorialFest, which features a buffet of 
half-day talks oriented towards students in particular and other POPL attendees 
in general.



Tutorials for POPL 2016 are solicited on any topic relevant to the POPL 
audience. In particular, tutorials that strive to do one of the following have 
been especially successful in the past:

  *   Describe an important piece of research infrastructure.

  *   Educate the community on an emerging topic.

For examples of past tutorials, see the websites of 
TutorialFesthttps://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__wrigstad.com_popl13_tutorialfest.htmld=AwMFaQc=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqwr=j79-cJ16iYo85iEKWqCQ1OC36a9y0sRzwTeXIcyCuXsm=frXY1JFj0ONl25WQn4rpCHYN6G7S-Pz7jy6qkMstHJ0s=MTxDqEEkJQy0OCB7pEVsIf2066qZtBszjq0IpJBAiBAe=

In 2016, tutorials will be held on Monday January 18, 2016 (two days before the 
main conference and the day before PLMW).  For each accepted tutorial, one 
presenter will receive complimentary registration to POPL. We are investigating 
low-cost options for video-recording tutorials if consented by tutorial 
presenters.

  *   1 paragraph biography suitable for tutorial publicity.



The conference chairs may also solicit tutorials directly, as has been common
