Call for Papers: Work-in-Progress session


The Work-in-Progress (WiP) session at VECoS 2018 is dedicated to new and ongoing research in the field of analysis of computer and communication systems in which functional and extra-functional properties are inter-related. Authors are invited to submit short papers describing ongoing, unpublished work in all areas of formal methods, including applications, systems, tools, methodologies, foundations, and design. In keeping with the spirit of the main conference, submissions with an emphasis on tools and application aspects are especially encouraged. The WiP session provides researchers and developers with an opportunity to discuss evolving and early-stage ideas, new research directions, to review current trends in the area and to receive feedback from the formal methods community at large.

Submissions

Submissions should be in form of short papers not exceeding 5 pages in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format, including references and appendices. Titles should conform to the format “Work-in-Progress: WiP_Title”. All contributions should be submitted electronically in PDF via easychair. Latex and MSWord LNCS templates can be downloaded online.

Accepted papers will be published in separate VECoS WiP Proceedings and will be available electronically on the VECoS Web site.

Authors of accepted papers are expected to give a brief presentation in the work-in-progress session of the conference and to showcase their work at the poster session. By submitting a paper, the authors agree that, in case of acceptance, at least one author will register to the conference and present the work at the Work-in-Progress session. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Abstraction techniques
  • Certification standards for real-time systems
  • Compositional verification
  • Correct-by-construction design
  • Dependability assessment techniques
  • Equivalence checking
  • Model checking
