Objective 

VMCAI provides a forum for researchers from the communities of Verification, 
Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, facilitating interaction, 
cross-fertilization, and advancement of hybrid methods that combine these and 
related areas. VMCAI 2019 will be the 20th edition in the series. The 
proceedings of the conference will be published in the Advanced Research in 
Computing and Software Science (ARCoSS) subline of the Springer Lecture Notes 
in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Topics 

VMCAI 2019 welcomes research papers on any topic related to verification, model 
checking, and abstract interpretation. Research contributions can report new 
results as well as experimental evaluations and comparisons of existing 
techniques. Topics include, but are not limited to: 
- Program Verification
- Model Checking
- Abstract Interpretation
- Abstract Domains
- Program Synthesis
- Static Analysis
- Type Systems
- Deductive Methods
- Program Logics
- First-Order Theories
- Decision Procedures
- Interpolation
- Horn Clause Solving
- Program Certification
- Separation Logic
- Probabilistic Programming and Analysis
- Error Diagnosis 
- Detection of Bugs and Security Vulnerabilities
- Program Transformations
- Hybrid and Cyber-physical Systems
- Concurrent Systems
- Analysis of Numerical Properties.

Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including concurrent, 
constraint, functional, imperative, logic, and object-oriented programming.

Paper Submission

Submissions are restricted to 20 pages in Springer’s LNCS format, not counting 
references. Additional material may be placed in an appendix, to be read at the 
discretion of the reviewers and to be omitted in the final version. Formatting 
style files and further guidelines for formatting can be found at the Springer 
website. Papers must describe original work, be written and presented in 
English, and must not substantially overlap with papers that have been 
published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference 
with refereed proceedings. Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of 
significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. They should 
clearly identify what has been accomplished and why it is significant. 
Submissions are handled online:
