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

VORTEX 2017 is the second edition of the ECOOP workshop devoted to runtime verification for 
object-oriented languages and systems.

Contributions are solicited on Runtime Verification in the context of Object-Oriented Programming 
addressing open questions
covering theoretical and/or practical aspects, presenting new implemented tools, proposing 
interesting new applications, or
describing real case studies.

Submissions suggesting speculative new approaches, raising challenging issues, or focusing on 
problems deemed to be crucial for
the research community are also welcome, as well as all contributions covering topics suitable for 
lively discussion at the
workshop.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following ones:

- combination of static and dynamic analyses
- industrial applications
- monitor construction and synthesis techniques
- monitoring concurrent/distributed systems
- program adaptation
- runtime enforcement, fault detection, recovery and repair
- RV for safety and security
- specification formalisms and formal underpinning of RV
- specification mining
- tool development

Contributions will be formally reviewed by at least three reviewers, and selection will be based on 
originality, relevance,
technical accuracy, and the potential to generate interesting discussions.
