CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

RV 2014: 14th International Conference on Runtime Verification

September 22 - September 25, 2014, Toronto, Canada

http://rv2014.imag.fr

******************************************************************

*****************

OVERVIEW

*****************

Runtime verification is concerned with monitoring and analysis of software
and hardware system executions. Runtime verification techniques are
important for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they are
complementary to 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
   - 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 safety/mission-critical
systems, enterprise and systems software, autonomous and reactive control
systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and
privacy.
