                        CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

     2nd International Conference on Runtime Verification (RV)
                      September 27 - 30, 2011
                     San Francisco, California
                   at the Historic Fairmont Hotel

        ** Early registration deadline: September 4, 2011 **


The 2011 Runtime Verication conference is a forum for researchers and
industrial practitioners for presenting theories and tools for
monitoring and analysis of software or hardware system executions, as
well as a forum for presenting applications of such tools to practical
problems.  The field is often referred to under different names, such
as runtime verification, runtime monitoring, runtime checking, runtime
reflection, runtime analysis, dynamic analysis, runtime symbolic
analysis, trace analysis, log file analysis, etc.  RV can be used for
many purposes, such as security or safety policy monitoring,
debugging, testing, verification, validation, profiling, fault
protection, behavior modification (e.g., recovery), etc.  A running
system can be abstractly regarded as a generator of execution traces,
i.e., sequences of relevant states or events. Traces can be processed
in various ways, e.g., checked against formal specifications, analyzed
with special algorithms, visualized, etc.

RV 2011 is conducted over 4 days.  The first day offers 4 tutorials.
The remaining three days offer 6 invited talks, and presentation of 28
regular papers, short papers and tool demonstrations.
