Submissions and Publication
Program Committee invites research submissions (on topics of program semantics, specification and verification) 
in the form of extended abstracts (up to 8 pages, Lecture Notes in Computer Science style) in English. 
Additional details may be included in an appendix up to 4 pages for Program Committee.
Program Committee also invites short (up to 4 pages) memorial contributions devoted to science and research legacy 
of Boris Trakhtenbrot, Mars Valiev, Michael Dekhtyar, and their former disciples, fellows, and colleagues.
All submissions (research and memorial) should be via EasyChair conference system ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pssv2018 ).
