SPIN
31st International Symposium on Model Checking Software
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://spin-web.github.io/SPIN2025/__;!!IBzWLUs!Qp-ztcZEGRNZewJT5XiITXdC9QcUOsGII4li0c4j2nk7ZBlwhk4KanbR1EEwkXBmbEl9y0TT5ldVQaRnl3vcB6Aub3MfYL87qs8$
7 - 8 May 2025
co-located with ETAPS 2025, Hamilton, Canada
*********************************************************
Theme of the Symposium:
-----------------------
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 the analysis of sequential
software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel
algorithms, tool development, and empirical evaluation.
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:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://spinroot.com/spin/Workshops/__;!!IBzWLUs!Qp-ztcZEGRNZewJT5XiITXdC9QcUOsGII4li0c4j2nk7ZBlwhk4KanbR1EEwkXBmbEl9y0TT5ldVQaRnl3vcB6Aub3MfVwHi-Gs$ .
Topics of Interest:
-------------------
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Formal verification techniques for automated analysis of (concurrent)
software/hardware, including:
-- Model checking
-- Deductive verification
-- Automated theorem proving, including SAT and SMT
-- Abstraction and symbolic execution techniques
-- Static analysis and abstract interpretation
-- Modular and compositional verification techniques
-- Verification of timed and probabilistic systems
-- Automated testing using advanced analysis techniques
-- Program synthesis
-- Derivation of specifications, test cases etc. via formal analysis
-- Formal specification languages, temporal logic, design-by-contract
-- Formal analysis of learned systems
-- Any combination of the above
* Application and/or engineering of verification tools, including:
-- Case studies of interesting systems or with interesting results
-- Implementation of novel verification tools
-- Benchmarks and comparative studies for verification tools
-- Verification tools using modern hardware, e.g.: multi-core CPU,
GPU, TPU, cloud, and quantum
Important Dates:
----------------
Paper Submission: 13 Feb 2025
Artifact Submission (Tool Papers): 27 Feb 2025
Paper/Artifact Notifications: 24 Mar 2025
Artifact Submission (Other Papers): 12 Mar 2025
Non-tool Paper Artifact Notification: 1 May 2025
Symposium: 7-8 May 2025
Submission Details:
-------------------
We are soliciting three categories of papers:
* Full Research Papers describing fully developed work and complete
results (16 pages, excluding bibliography and appendices);
* Full Tool Papers, accompanied by a *Mandatory Artifact*, describing
work that is closely-related to the development or the evaluation of a
verification tool or similar (16 pages, excluding bibliography and
appendices);
* 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, excluding bibliography and
appendices). Note: Artifact evaluation is optional for short papers but
highly recommended for those with a focus on tools. If you want to have
the accompanying artifact of your short paper evaluated, please submit
it to the mandatory AE on February 27.
Papers submission website:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spin2025__;!!IBzWLUs!Qp-ztcZEGRNZewJT5XiITXdC9QcUOsGII4li0c4j2nk7ZBlwhk4KanbR1EEwkXBmbEl9y0TT5ldVQaRnl3vcB6Aub3Mfmmsc71Y$ -- in the track
Research Papers, select the respective paper category.
All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer-reviewed
by members of the program committee. Submissions will be evaluated on
the basis of originality, the importance of contribution, soundness,
evaluation, quality of presentation, and appropriate comparison to
related work.
The proceedings of SPIN 2025 will be published as part of
post-conference proceedings in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series. Submissions should adhere to the LNCS format; see
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines__;!!IBzWLUs!Qp-ztcZEGRNZewJT5XiITXdC9QcUOsGII4li0c4j2nk7ZBlwhk4KanbR1EEwkXBmbEl9y0TT5ldVQaRnl3vcB6Aub3MfhePaN_A$ .
Please take into account Springer’s Book authors code of conduct when
preparing submissions:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/book-authors-code-of-conduct__;!!IBzWLUs!Qp-ztcZEGRNZewJT5XiITXdC9QcUOsGII4li0c4j2nk7ZBlwhk4KanbR1EEwkXBmbEl9y0TT5ldVQaRnl3vcB6Aub3Mfcw1QYGM$ .
Artifact Evaluation:
--------------------
SPIN 2025 will feature artifact evaluation, performed by an Artifact
Evaluation Committee (AEC). The AEC evaluates artifacts based on
documentation, availability, reproducibility of results, and tool
reusability (if applicable). Artifact submission is mandatory for Full
Tool Papers. While artifact submission is optional for papers in other
categories, we highly encourage authors of papers involving tool
development and empirical evaluation to submit an artifact for
evaluation. Papers with an accompanying artifact may be awarded one or
more badges from the EAPLS artifact badging scheme
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://eapls.org/pages/artifact_badges/__;!!IBzWLUs!Qp-ztcZEGRNZewJT5XiITXdC9QcUOsGII4li0c4j2nk7ZBlwhk4KanbR1EEwkXBmbEl9y0TT5ldVQaRnl3vcB6Aub3MfMtqWLMk$ ). More details can be found

*****************
This edition of SPIN will include artifact evaluation, cf.
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://spin-web.github.io/SPIN2025/artifacts__;!!IBzWLUs!Qp-ztcZEGRNZewJT5XiITXdC9QcUOsGII4li0c4j2nk7ZBlwhk4KanbR1EEwkXBmbEl9y0TT5ldVQaRnl3vcB6Aub3MfEeXYzfI$ .
We are now forming an Artifact Evaluation Committee headed by our
artifact evaluation chairs:
Julie Cailler, University of Lorraine & Inria, France
(julie.cailler at loria.fr)
Nian-Ze Lee, LMU Munich / National Taiwan University
(nian-ze.lee at sosy.ifi.lmu.de)
If you have experience in artifact creation and evaluation or a passion
for tools and empirical experiments,
you are welcome to nominate yourself via an email to the AEC chairs.
