[TYPES/announce] FORMATS 2022: first call for papers
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] FORMATS 2022: FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS 20th International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/formats2022/__;!!IBzWLUs!BOHDApCNnQCOFEiQZ7lgTzcsyd6Ga9ps_1WJzpfji_AcrOivq0VZ-TKJIgc7Yim4EW5Im6bW4GMx6Q$ 12-17 September 2022, Warsaw, Poland co-located with CONCUR, FMICS and QEST as part of CONFEST 2022 SCOPE & TOPICS FORMATS (International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems) is an annual conference which aims to promote the study of fundamental and practical aspects of timed systems, and to bring together researchers from different disciplines that share interests in the modelling, design and analysis of timed computational systems. The conference aims to attract researchers interested in real-time issues in hardware design, performance analysis, real-time software, scheduling, semantics and verification of real-timed, hybrid and probabilistic systems. Typical topics include (but are not limited to): • Foundations and Semantics: Theoretical foundations of timed systems, languages and models (e.g., timed automata, timed Petri nets, hybrid automata, timed process algebra, max-plus algebra, probabilistic models). • Methods and Tools: Techniques, algorithms, data structures, and software tools for analyzing timed systems and resolving temporal constraints (e.g., scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis,optimization, model checking, testing, constraint solving). • Applications: Adaptation and specialization of timing technology in application domains in which timing plays an important role (e.g., real-time software, hardware circuits, scheduling in manufacturing and telecommunication, robotics). New for this year, FORMATS will incorporate a special track on: • Learning-based and data-driven systems: We particularly encourage papers that exploit synergies between the formal analysis of timed systems and data-driven techniques (such as reinforcement learning or deep learning), or which target application domains where learning is important (such as robotics or autonomous systems). PAPER SUBMISSION FORMATS 2022 solicits high-quality papers reporting research results, experience reports and/or tools related to the topics mentioned above. Submitted papers must contain original, unpublished contributions, not submitted for publication elsewhere. The papers should be submitted electronically in PDF, following the Springer LNCS style guidelines. Two categories of papers are invited: • Regular papers, which should not exceed 15 pages in length • Short papers, which should not exceed 7 pages in length Both page limits exclude references, which are not limited in length. If necessary, the paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair online submission system: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=formats2022__;!!IBzWLUs!BOHDApCNnQCOFEiQZ7lgTzcsyd6Ga9ps_1WJzpfji_AcrOivq0VZ-TKJIgc7Yim4EW5Im6btbrXVaQ$ ARTIFACT EVALUATION This year, FORMATS is encouraging authors to submit artifacts where appropriate, for example to demonstrate how to reproduce experimental data in a research paper or to examine the usability and applicability of a software tool. Artifacts will be submitted and evaluated only for papers accepted for publication. These will be evaluated by the Artifact Evaluation Committee and those that are accepted will receive a repeatability badge to be displayed on the first page of the published version. PUBLICATION AND BEST PAPER AWARD The proceedings of FORMATS 2022 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The best paper of the conference will be awarded the Oded Maler Award in Timed Systems. IMPORTANT DATES • Abstract submission: 19 April 2022 • Paper submission: 22 April 2022 • Acceptance notification: 17 June 2022 • Artifact submission deadline: 24 June 2022 • Camera-ready copy deadline: 15 July 2022 • Conference: 12-17 September 2022 CONFEST 2022, which includes FORMATS 2022, is currently planned as a physical, in-person event with support for remote presence for speakers and participants.

They are related to the use of physical quantities (storage space, time, bandwidth, etc.) as well as mathematical quantities (e.g. probability and measures for reliability, security and trust). Such quantities play a central role in defining both the model of systems (architecture, language design, semantics) and the methodologies and tools for the analysis and verification of system properties. The aim of this workshop is to discuss the explicit use of quantitative information such as time and probabilities either directly in the model or as a tool for the analysis of systems. In particular, the workshop focuses on: * the design of probabilistic, real-time, quantum languages and the definition of semantical models for such languages * the discussion of methodologies for the analysis of probabilistic and timing properties (e.g. security, safety, schedulability) and of other quantifiable properties such as reliability (for hardware components), trustworthiness (in information security) and resource usage (e.g., worst-case memory/stack/cache requirements) * the probabilistic analysis of systems which do not explicitly incorporate quantitative aspects (e.g. performance, reliability and risk analysis) * applications to safety-critical systems, communication protocols, control systems, asynchronous hardware, and to any other domain involving quantitative issues ORGANIZATION: PC Chairs: * Mieke Massink, CNR-ISTI, Pisa, Italy * Gethin Norman, University of Glasgow, UK Program Committee: * Alessandro Aldini, University of Urbino, Italy * Christel Baier, University of Dresden, Germany * Marco Bernardo, University of Urbino, Italy * Nathalie Bertrand, IRISA/INRIA Rennes, France * Patricia Bouyer, Oxford University, UK * Jeremy Bradley, Imperial College London, UK * Tomas Brazdil, Masaryk University, Czech Republic * Frank van Breugel, York University, Canada * Antonio Cerone, UNU-IIST, Macao * Kostas Chatzikokolakis, University of Eindohoven, NL * Josee Desharnais, University of Laval, Canada * Alessandra Di Pierro, University of Verona, Italy * Mieke Massink, CNR-ISTI, Pisa, Italy * Paulo Mateus, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal * Annabelle McIver, Maquarie University, Australia * Gethin Norman, University of Glasgow, UK * David Parker, University of Oxford, UK * Anne Remke, University of Twente, the Netherlands * Jeremy Sproston, University of Torino, Italy * Herbert Wiklicky, Imperial College London, UK * Verena Wolf, Saarland University, Germany The University of Glasgow, charity number SC004401
