 Subject: [fm-announcements] Call For Papers: RV 2012
 
 
 International Conference on Runtime Verification (RV 2012)
 September 25 - 28, 2012
 Istanbul, Turkey
 at the Koc University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations in Pera
 
   http://rv2012.ku.edu.tr
 
 SCOPE
 
 Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of
 software and hardware system executions. Runtime verification
 techniques are crucial for system correctness and reliability; they
 are significantly more powerful and versatile than conventional
 testing, and more practical than exhaustive formal
 verification. Runtime verification can be used prior to deployment,
 for verification and debugging purposes, and after deployment for
 ensuring reliability, safety and security, and for providing fault
 containment and recovery. Topics of interest to the conference
 include:
 
 - specification languages and formalisms for traces
 - specification mining
 - program instrumentation
 - monitor construction techniques
 - logging, recording, and replay
 - fault detection, localization, recovery and repair
 - program steering and adaptation
 - metrics and statistical information gathering
 - combination of static and dynamic analyses
 - program execution visualization
 
 Application areas of runtime verification include safety-critical
 systems ranging from enterprise and systems software, to autonomous
 and reactive control systems, to health management and diagnosis
 systems, to security.
 
 HISTORY
 
 The RV series of events started in 2001, as an annual workshop. The
 RV'01 to RV'05 proceedings were published in ENTCS. Since 2006, the RV
 proceedings have been published in LNCS. In year 2010, RV became an
 international conference. Links to past RV events can be found at the
 permanent URL http://runtime-verification.org.
 
 INVITED SPEAKERS
 
 - Jim Larus (Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research)
 - Martin Rinard (Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT)
 - Giovanni Vigna (Professor, Department of Computer Science, UCSB)
 
 INVITED TUTORIALS
 
 - Stephen N. Freund, John Erickson and Madan Musuvathi: Dynamic analysis of concurrency
 - Cristian Cadar and Koushik Sen: Symbolic execution
 
 PAPER SUBMISSION
 
 RV will have three paper categories: regular and short papers, and tool
 demonstration papers. Papers in all categories will be reviewed by the
 conference Program Committee.
 
 - Regular papers (up to 15 pages) should present original unpublished
 results. Applications of runtime verification are particularly
 welcome. A Best Paper Award will be offered.
 
 - Short papers (up to 5 pages) 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. Accepted short papers will be presented in special short talk
 (5-10 minutes) and poster sessions.
 
 - Tool demonstration papers (up to 5 pages) should briefly introduce
 the problem solved by the tool and give the outline of the
 demonstration. A Best Tool Award will be offered.
 
 All accepted papers, including short papers and tool papers, will appear
 in the LNCS proceedings. Submitted papers must use the LNCS style. At
 least one author of each accepted paper must attend RV'12 to present the
 paper. Papers must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair system.
 A link to the electronic submission page will be made available on the
 RV'12 web page.
