=================================================================================

Runtime verification (RV) is an approach to software verification concerned with
monitoring and analysis of software and hardware under execution. Recently, RV
has gained more traction as an effective and promising approach to ensure
software reliability, bridging a gap between formal verification and
conventional testing; monitoring a system at runtime offers additional
opportunities for addressing error recovery, self-adaptation, and other issues
that go beyond software reliability. The goal of VORTEX is to bring together
researchers working on runtime verification for topics covering either
theoretical, or practical aspects, or, preferably, both, with emphasis on
object-oriented languages, and systems.

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

* behavioural types for RV
* combination of static and dynamic analyses
* industrial applications
* language support for RV
* monitor construction and synthesis techniques
* monitoring concurrent/distributed systems
* monitoring oriented programming
* program adaptation
* runtime enforcement, fault detection, recovery and repair
* RV for safety and security
* RV for the Internet of Things
* 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.
