  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.
