Call for Participation 

PrePost (Pre- and Post-Deployment Verification Techniques)

First International Workshop 
(Affiliated with iFM 2016)
http://icetcs.ru.is/prepost/ <http://icetcs.ru.is/prepost/>
Reykjavik, 4 June 2016

Scope
The workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the field of computer-aided validation and verification to discuss the connections and interplay between pre- and post-deployment verification techniques. Examples of the topics covered by the workshop are the relationships between classic model checking and testing on the one hand and runtime verification and statistical model checking on the other, and between type systems that may be checked either statically or dynamically through techniques such as runtime monitoring. Relevant topics also include the synthesis of runtime adaptation and enforcement mechanisms from correctness specifications, as well as combining deductive verification with runtime verification. Contributions related to tools and applications of pre- and post-deployment verification will also be welcome.
