[TYPES/announce] SPIN 2019 in Beijing - Call for Papers and Participation

[Fabrizio Biondi]

 [apologies for duplicates]

SPIN 2019 24th International Symposium on Model Checking of Software Beijing,
China, July 15-19, 2019 https://conf.researchr.org/home/spin-2019 Co-located
with ISSTA 2019
------------------------------

The 26th edition of the SPIN symposium aims at bringing together
researchers and practitioners interested in automated tool-based techniques
for the analysis of software as well as models of software, for the purpose
of verification and validation. The symposium specifically focuses on
concurrent software, but does not exclude analysis of sequential software.
Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel algorithms, tool
development, and empirical evaluation.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   - Formal verification techniques for automated analysis of software
   - Formal analysis for modeling languages, such as UML/state charts
   - Formal specification languages, temporal logic, design-by-contract
   - Model checking
   - Automated theorem proving, including SAT and SMT
   - Verifying compilers
   - Abstraction and symbolic execution techniques
   - Static analysis and abstract interpretation
   - Combination of verification techniques
   - Modular and compositional verification techniques
   - Verification of timed and probabilistic systems
   - Automated testing using advanced analysis techniques
   - Combination of static and dynamic analyses
   - Derivation of specifications, test cases, or other useful material via
   formal analysis
   - Case studies of interesting systems or with interesting results
   - Engineering and implementation of software verification and analysis
   tools
   - Benchmark and comparative studies for formal verification and analysis
   tools
   - Formal methods education and training
   - Insightful surveys or historical accounts on topics of relevance to
   the symposium

Call for Papers

The SPIN symposium aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners
interested in automated tool-based techniques for the analysis of software
as well as models of software, for the purpose of verification and
validation. The symposium specifically focuses on concurrent software, but
does not exclude analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited
on theoretical results, novel algorithms, tool development, empirical
evaluation, and education.

History: The SPIN symposium originated as a workshop focusing on explicit
state model checking, specifically as related to the Spin model checker.
However, over the years it has evolved to a broadly scoped symposium for
software analysis using any automated techniques, including model checking,
automated theorem proving, and symbolic execution.

An overview of the previous SPIN symposia (and early workshops) can be
found at: http://spinroot.com/spin/symposia.

SPIN 2019 will be organized as an ACM SIGSOFT event, colocated with the
International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA 2019):
https://conf.researchr.org/home/issta-2019.

Submission Guidelines
------------------------------

The contributions to SPIN 2019 will be published as ACM Proceedings, and
should be submitted in the ACM Conference Format:
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template (please use the
sigconf template).

Submissions must be original and should not have been published previously
or be under consideration for publication while being evaluated for this
symposium. Authors are required to adhere to the ACM Policy and Procedures
on Plagiarism and the ACM Policy on Prior Publication and Simultaneous
Submissions.

   - We are soliciting three categories of papers:
      - *Full Research Papers* describing fully developed work and complete
      results (*16 pages – references are not included in this limit*);
      - *Short Papers* presenting tools, technology, experiences with
      lessons learned, new ideas, work in progress with preliminary
results, and
      novel contributions to formal methods (*6 pages – references are not
      included in this limit*).
      - *Tool Demo Papers* presenting the foundations, capabilities,
      application domains and relevant examples using the tools, with a clear
      description of what is expected to be shown in a live demonstration (*4
      pages to describe the tool foundations, features and use
examples, plus an
      appendix explaining the content of the demo*).

Papers should be submitted via the EasyChair SPIN 2019 submission website:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spin19.

A selection of papers will be invited to a special issue of the
International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT).
