TAP promotes research in verification and formal methods that targets the interplay of static and dynamic analysis techniques with the ultimate goal of improving software and system dependability. Research in verification has seen an increase in heterogeneous techniques and a synergy between the traditionally distinct areas of dynamic and static analysis. There is growing awareness that dynamic techniques such as testing and static techniques such as proving are complementary rather than mutually exclusive. Notable examples that provide evidence for the potential of a combination of static and dynamic analysis are counterexample generation based on symbolic execution, the integration of SAT/SMT-solving in model checking, or the combination of predicate abstraction with exhaustive enumeration. The verification of systems based on machine learning spurs novel combinations of dynamic and static analyses, e.g., property verification of surrogate models that are generated through testing. TAP’s scope encompasses many aspects of verification technology, including foundational work, tool development, and empirical research. Topics of interest center around the combination of static techniques such as proving and dynamic techniques such as testing. Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics: - Verification and analysis techniques combining proofs and tests, - Static analysis of programs with the aid of dynamic techniques, - Deductive techniques supporting the automated generation of test vectors and oracles, - Deductive techniques supporting (novel) definitions of coverage criteria, - Specification inference by deductive or dynamic methods, - Testing and runtime analysis of formal specifications, - Search-based techniques for proving and testing, - Testing and Verification of systems based on machine learning, - Verification of verification tools and environments, - Applications of test and proof techniques in new domains, - Combined approaches of test and proof in the context of formal certifications (Common Criteria, CENELEC, …), and - Case studies, tool and framework descriptions, and experience reports Authors are encouraged (but not required) to make the relevant artifacts available to the reviewers (and whenever possible publicly). Artifacts can be provided at submission time or after notification of acceptance and will go through a lightweight reviewing process, handing out availability badges. Important Dates --- Abstract submission: 05/08/2024 Paper submission: 05/15/2024 Paper notification:06/26/2024 Artifact submission: 07/03/2024 Artifact notification: 07/14/2024 Camera-ready version: 07/17/2024 Conference: 09/09/2024-09/10/2024 Submission Instructions - TAP 2024 accepts papers of two kinds: - Regular papers: full submissions describing - original research results, - tools, and - case studies of up to 16 pages. For tools and case studies, the tool, framework, or case study described in a tool paper should be available for public use. - Short papers: submissions describing preliminary findings, proofs of concepts, and exploratory studies, of up to 6 pages. All page limits exclude the references. Appendices may be included, but they will only be read by a reviewer at their discretion. Regular and short papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers will undergo a thorough review process. The review process is single blind. Submissions will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. The submissions will be reviewed and selected for publication based on the above-mentioned criteria as well as suitability to the conference’s technical program. After notification, all artifacts of accepted papers will be reviewed with respect to their availability, consistency with and replicability of results in the paper, completeness, documentation, and ease of use.

[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] [our apologies for multiple posts] ~~ 11th Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS) Co-located with ETAPS 2024 Call For Papers 7 April 2024 - Luxembourg https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.sci.unich.it/hcvs24/__;!!IBzWLUs!WiOvSGGJ279UvQ-u9XkY3Hr0mwe5lxm8CjS1w7RzK6AekmFQeEyIN_Xv2P_9PWcUXyod7OHgBJhMdiSJvJh0p8Lifx6DUqPAlNE$ ~~ Important dates: - Paper submission deadline: 2 February 2024 - Paper notification: beginning of March 2024 - Workshop: 7 April 2024 Scope: Many Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be modeled directly using Constrained Horn Clauses (CHCs) and many recent advances have centered around efficiently solving problems presented as Horn clauses. This series of workshops aims to bring together researchers working in the communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP), Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated Deduction (e.g., CADE, IJCAR), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis, verification, and synthesis. Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by these communities in different times and from different perspectives and HCVS is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful exchange and integration of experiences. The workshop follows previous meetings: HCVS 2023 in Paris (ETAPS 2023), France (ETAPS 2023), HCVS 2022 in Munich, Germany (ETAPS 2022), HCVS 2021, online (ETAPS 2021), HCVS 2020, online (ETAPS 2020), HCVS 2019 in Prague, Czech Republic (ETAPS 2019), HCVS 2018 in Oxford, UK (CAV, ICLP and IJCAR at FLoC 2018), HCVS 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden (CADE 2017), HCVS 2016 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands (ETAPS 2016), HCVS 2015 in San Francisco, CA, USA (CAV 2015), and HCVS 2014 in Vienna, Austria (VSL). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of Horn clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas: - Analysis and verification of programs and systems of various kinds (e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, higher-order, concurrent, transition systems, petri-nets, smart contracts) - Program synthesis - Program testing - Program transformation - Constraint solving - Type systems - Machine learning and automated reasoning - CHC encoding of analysis and verification problems - Resource analysis - Case studies and tools - Challenging problems We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of Horn-clause based analysis and tool descriptions. We also solicit extended abstracts describing work-in-progress, as well as presentations covering previously published results, extended abstracts of doctoral theses, and overviews of research projects that are of interest to the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper will be required to attend the workshop to present the contribution. CHC Competition: HCVS 2024 is planning to host the 7th competition on constraint Horn clauses (CHC-COMP https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://chc-comp.github.io/__;!!IBzWLUs!WiOvSGGJ279UvQ-u9XkY3Hr0mwe5lxm8CjS1w7RzK6AekmFQeEyIN_Xv2P_9PWcUXyod7OHgBJhMdiSJvJh0p8Lifx6D51BFr7U$ ), which will compare state-of-the-art tools for CHC solving for performance and effectiveness on a set of publicly available benchmarks. Program Chairs: Julie Cailler, University of Regensburg, Germany Daniel Neider, Technical University of Dortmund, Germany Submissions: Submission has to be done in one of the following formats: - Extended abstracts (up to 3 pages in EPTCS format), which describe work in progress or aim to initiate discussions. - Presentation-only papers, i.e., papers already submitted or presented at a conference or another workshop. Such papers can be submitted in any format, and will not be included in the workshop post-proceedings. - Regular papers (up to 12 pages plus bibliography in EPTCS (https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.eptcs.org/__;!!IBzWLUs!WiOvSGGJ279UvQ-u9XkY3Hr0mwe5lxm8CjS1w7RzK6AekmFQeEyIN_Xv2P_9PWcUXyod7OHgBJhMdiSJvJh0p8Lifx6DddKCPCc$ ) format), which should present previously unpublished work (completed or in progress), including descriptions of research, tools, and applications. - Tool papers (up to 4 pages in EPTCS format), including the papers written by the CHC-COMP participants, which can outline the theoretical framework, the architecture, the usage, and experiments of the tool. All submitted papers will be refereed by the program committee and will be selected for inclusion in accordance with the referee reports. If enough regular papers are accepted, both regular papers and extended abstracts will be published electronically. The publication of a paper is not intended to preclude later publication.
