Call for Papers

VSTTE 2022 14th International Conference on Verified Software: Theories, 
Tools, and Experiments
https://vstte22.fbk.eu/

October 17-18 2022

Co-located with Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design 2022 (FMCAD 2022)

Overview

The goal of the VSTTE conference series is to advance the state of the 
art in the science and technology of software verification, through the 
interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and experimental 
validation. The Verified Software Initiative (VSI), spearheaded by Tony 
Hoare and Jayadev Misra, is an ambitious research program for making 
large-scale verified software a practical reality. The International 
Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools and Experiments (VSTTE) 
is the main forum for advancing the initiative. VSTTE brings together 
experts spanning the spectrum of software verification in order to 
foster international collaboration on the critical research challenges. 
The theoretical work includes semantic foundations and logics for 
specification and verification, and verification algorithms and 
methodologies. The tools cover specification and annotation languages, 
program analyzers, model checkers, interactive verifiers and proof 
checkers, automated
theorem provers and SAT/SMT solvers, and integrated verification 
environments. The experimental work drives the research agenda for 
theory and tools by taking on significant specification/verification 
exercises covering hardware, operating systems, compilers, computer 
security, parallel computing, and cyber-physical systems.

The 2022 edition of VSTTE will be the 14th conference in the series, and 
will be co-located with FMCAD 2022 in Trento, Italy. We welcome 
submissions describing significant advances in the production of 
verified software, i.e., software that has been proved to meet its 
functional specifications. Submissions of theoretical, practical, and 
experimental contributions are equally encouraged, including those that 
focus on specific problems or problem domains. We are especially 
interested in submissions describing large-scale verification efforts 
that involve collaboration, theory unification, tool integration, and 
formalized domain knowledge. We also welcome papers describing novel 
experiments and case studies evaluating verification techniques and 
technologies.

Topics of interest for this conference include, but are not limited to, 
requirements modeling, specification languages, 
specification/verification/certification case studies, formal calculi, 
software design methods, automatic code generation, refinement 
methodologies, compositional analysis, verification tools (e.g., static 
analysis, dynamic analysis, model checking, theorem proving, 
satisfiability), tool integration, benchmarks, challenge problems, and 
integrated verification environments.
Paper Submissions

VSTTE 2022 will accept both long (limited to 16 pages, excluding 
references) and short (limited to 10 pages, excluding references) paper 
submissions. Short submissions also cover Verification Pearls describing 
an elegant proof or proof technique. Submitted research papers and 
system descriptions must be original and not submitted for publication 
elsewhere. Submissions of theoretical, practical, and experimental 
contributions are equally encouraged, including those that focus on 
specific problems or problem domains. Papers will be submitted via 
EasyChair. Submissions that arrive late, are not in the proper format, 
or are too long will not be considered. The post-conference proceedings 
of VSTTE 2022 are planned to be published as a LNCS volume by 
Springer-Verlag. Authors of accepted papers will be requested to sign a 
form transferring copyright of their contribution to Springer-Verlag. 
The use of LaTeX and the Springer LNCS class files is strongly encouraged.
