RV 2016
16th International Conference on Runtime Verification
September 23-30, Madrid, Spain
http://rv2016.imag.fr
Scope
Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of software and
hardware system executions. Runtime verification techniques are crucial for
system correctness, reliability, and robustness; 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 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. Topics of
interest to the conference include:
- specification languages
- specification mining
- program instrumentation
- monitor construction techniques
- logging, recording, and replay
- runtime enforcement, fault detection, localization, containment, recovery and
repair
- program steering and adaptation
- metrics and statistical information gathering
- combination of static and dynamic analyses
- program execution visualization
- monitoring techniques for safety/mission-critical systems
- monitoring distributed systems, cloud services, and big data applications
- monitoring security and privacy policies
Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical systems,
safety/mission-critical systems, enterprise and systems software, autonomous
and reactive control systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and
system security and privacy.
Invited Speakers
The program of RV 2016 will feature invited talks from:
Gul Agha (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA)
Oded Maler (CNRS and University of Grenoble-Alpes, France)
Fred B. Schneider (Cornell University, USA)
Overview
RV 2016 will be held September 23-30 in Madrid, Spain. RV 2016 will feature the
first summer school on Runtime Verification (September 23-25), two workshop
days (September 26-25), and three conference days (September 28-30).
General Information on 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. At
least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must attend RV 2016 to
present the paper. Papers must be written in English and submitted
electronically (in PDF format) using the EasyChair system. The below page
limitations 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.
--Research Papers Track
Research papers can be submitted in two categories: regular and short papers.
Papers in both categories will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program
Committee.
Regular Papers (up to 15 pages) should present original unpublished results.
Theoretical papers, system and application papers as well as case studies on
runtime verification are all welcome.
The Program Committee of RV 2015 will give a best paper award. A selection of
accepted regular papers will be invited to appear in a special issue of the
Springer Journal on Formal Methods in System Design.
Short Papers (up to 6 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 talk (15 minutes) and poster sessions.
--Tool Papers Track
The aim of the RV 2016 tool track is to provide an opportunity for researchers
and practitioners to show and to discuss the latest advances, experiences and
challenges in devising and developing reliable software tools for runtime
verification. All tool papers will be reviewed by at least 3 members of the
Tool Committee. An author of each accepted tool paper should give a 15-20
minutes demonstration during the conference.
All tool papers 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.
We encourage tool papers to include a script in an appendix (not included in
the page count) describing how the demo will be conducted during the conference
presentation with screenshots presenting step-by-step the tool?s capabilities,
highlighting the main characteristics and the usage.
Tool papers can be submitted into two categories:
Regular Tool Papers (up to 8 pages). A tool paper in this category should
present a new tool, a new tool component or significant and novel extensions to
existing tools supporting runtime verification. Each submission should be
original and not published previously in a tool paper form.
Tool Exhibition Papers (up to 4 pages). A tool paper in this category can have
been previously published. A tool paper in this category should be oriented
towards the tool usage and is an opportunity for the developers to present them
at RV 2016.
--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 a biography of the presenter. The proposal
must not exceed 2 pages. Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the Program
Committee.
