SCOPE:
—————————————————
Numerical computations are ubiquitous in digital systems: supervision, prediction, simulation and signal processing rely heavily on numerical calculus to achieve desired goals. Design and verification of numerical algorithms has a unique set of challenges, which set it apart from rest of software verification. To achieve the verification and validation of global properties, numerical techniques need to precisely represent local behaviors of each component. The implementation of numerical techniques on modern hardware adds another layer of approximation because of the use of finite representations of infinite precision numbers that usually lack basic arithmetic properties such as commutativity and associativity. Finally, the development and analysis of cyber-physical systems (CPS) which involve the interacting continuous and discrete components pose a further challenge. It is hence imperative to develop logical and mathematical techniques for the reasoning about programmability and reliability. The NSV workshop is dedicated to the development of such techniques.

Topics of interest:
The  scope of the workshop includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics:

— Quantitative and qualitative analysis of hybrid systems
— Models and abstraction techniques
— Optimal control of dynamical systems
— Parameter identification for hybrid systems
— Numerical optimization methods
— Hybrid systems verification 
— Applications of hybrid systems to systems biology
— Propagation of uncertainties, deterministic and probabilistic models
— Specifications of correctness for numerical programs
— Quality of finite precision implementations
— Numerical properties of control software
— Validation for space, avionics, automotive and real-time applications
— Validation for scientific computing programs

Submission Guidelines:
————————————————
We solicit regular and short papers:

— Regular papers describe original contributions that are neither published nor under review for publication elsewhere. They must not exceed 15 pages in LNCS style <https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines>, plus possibly bibliography and appendices. However, program committee members are not required to read the appendices, thus papers must be intelligible without them.
— Short papers present tools, benchmarks, case-studies or are extended abstracts of ongoing research. They should not exceed 6 pages, excluding extra material as above.

Paper submission must be performed via the EasyChair system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nsv19 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=nsv19>.

Submitted papers will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness, originality, and clarity. They should clearly identify what has been accomplished and why it is signifiant. All accepted papers will be published as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) with Springer Verlag http://www.springer.com/lncs <http://www.springer.com/lncs>.
