Objectives and Scope:
Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of the
runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime verification
techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness;
they provide an additional level of rigor and effectiveness compared to
conventional testing and are generally more practical than exhaustive formal
verification. Runtime verification can be used prior to deployment, for
testing, verification, and debugging purposes, and after deployment for
ensuring reliability, safety, and security and for providing fault containment
and recovery as well as online system repair.
The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to:
- specification languages for monitoring
- monitor construction techniques
- program instrumentation
- logging, recording, and replay
- combination of static and dynamic analysis
- specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces
- monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems
- runtime checking of privacy and security policies
- metrics and statistical information gathering
- program/system execution visualization
- fault localization, containment, resilience, recovery and repair
- systems with learning-enabled components
- dynamic type checking and assurance cases
- runtime verification for autonomy and runtime assurance
Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical systems,
autonomous systems, safety/mission critical systems, enterprise and systems
software, cloud systems, reactive control systems, health management and
diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy.
Papers
There are four categories of papers that can be submitted: regular, short, tool
demo, and benchmark papers. Papers in each category will be reviewed by at
least three members of the Program Committee.
Regular Papers (up to 16 pages, not including references) should present
original unpublished results. We welcome theoretical papers, system papers,
papers describing domain-specific variants of RV, and case studies on runtime
verification.
Short Papers (up to 8 pages, not including references) may present novel but
not necessarily thoroughly worked out ideas, for example emerging runtime
verification techniques and applications, or techniques and applications that
establish relationships between runtime verification and other domains.
Tool Demonstration Papers (up to 8 pages, not including references) should
present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to existing tools
supporting runtime verification. The paper must include information on tool
availability, maturity, selected experimental results and it should provide a
link to a website containing the theoretical background and user guide.
Furthermore, we strongly encourage authors to make their tools and benchmarks
available with their submission.
Benchmark Papers (up to 8 pages, not including references) should describe a
benchmark, suite of benchmarks, or benchmark generator useful for evaluating RV
tools. Papers should include information as to what the benchmark consists of
and its purpose (what is the domain), how to obtain and use the benchmark, an
argument for the usefulness of the benchmark to the broader RV community and
may include any existing results produced using the benchmark. We are
interested in both benchmarks pertaining to real-world scenarios and those
containing synthetic data designed to achieve interesting properties. Broader
definitions of benchmark e.g. for generating specifications from data or
diagnosing faults are within scope. We encourage benchmarks that are tool
agnostic, especially if they have been used to evaluate multiple tools. We also
welcome benchmarks that contain verdict labels and with rigorous arguments for
correctness of these verdicts, and benchmarks that are demonstrably cha
llenging with respect to the state-of-the-art tools. Benchmark papers must be
accompanied by an easily accessible and usable benchmark submission. Papers
will be evaluated by a separate benchmark evaluation panel who will assess the
benchmarks relevance, clarity, and utility as communicated by the submitted
paper.
The Program Committee of RV 2023 will give a Springer-sponsored Best Paper
Award to one eligible regular paper.
Tutorial track: tutorials are two-to-three-hour presentations on a selected
topic. Additionally, tutorial presenters will be offered to publish a paper of
up to 20 pages in the LNCS conference proceedings. A proposal for a tutorial
must contain the subject of the tutorial, a proposed timeline, a note on
previous similar tutorials (if applicable) and the differences to this
incarnation, and biographies of the presenters. The proposal must not exceed 2
pages.
Special Journal Issue! The Program Committee of RV 2023 will invite a
selection of accepted papers to submit extended versions to a special issue of
the International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT).
Submissions
All papers and tutorials will appear in the conference proceedings in an LNCS
volume. Submitted papers and tutorials must use the LNCS/Springer style
detailed here:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines__;!!IBzWLUs!T1BwJpftGDQGa3TEH2nUoHK_owRO5oGNJ3uYFd_jzdn2pa5yLSMu-DDpLB4PWKwu1FYg47e-AaKPWMOufFsIC4Uz7NQMzDFn$
. Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. The
volume is currently scheduled to appear in the LNCS “Formal Methods” subline.
Papers must be original work and not be submitted for publication elsewhere.
Papers must be written in English and submitted electronically (in PDF format)
using the EasyChair submission page here:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv2023__;!!IBzWLUs!T1BwJpftGDQGa3TEH2nUoHK_owRO5oGNJ3uYFd_jzdn2pa5yLSMu-DDpLB4PWKwu1FYg47e-AaKPWMOufFsIC4Uz7L3l8X_7$
The page limitations mentioned above include all text and figures, but exclude
references. Additional details omitted due to space limitations may be included
in a clearly marked appendix, that will be reviewed at the discretion of
reviewers, but not included in the proceedings.
At least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must register and
present the contribution at RV 2023.
