ATVA 2004

 

2nd International Symposium on

Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis

 

National Taiwan University

Sunday 31 October - Wednesday 3 November 2004.

http://cc.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~atva04

 

Encouraged by the success of the first ATVA in December 2003 and 

the promise of related research and industry in East Asia, 

we are very happy to announce the second ATVA.  

The emphasis of ATVA 2004 will continue to be on various mechanical 

and informative techniques, which can give engineers valuable 

feedbacks to quickly converge their designs according to the 

specifications.  ATVA received 69 submissions.  

The final program consists of 

* 3 tutorials (by Robert Kurshan of Cadence, Rajeev Alur of U. 

  Pennsylvania, and Pei-Hsin Ho of Synopsys),

* 3 keynote speeches (speakers the same as for the tutorials), 

* three invited speeches (by Jean-Pierre Jouannaud of Ecole 

  Polytechnique, Tevfik Bultan of UCSB, and Shaoying Liu of Hosei 

  Univ.), 

* 24 regular papers, 

* 7 special track papers, 

* 8 short papers, 

* a reception, a banquet and an excursion.   

The PROCEEDINGS will be available as LNCS 3299, Springer-Verlag at 

ATVA 2004.  The early registration deadline is 30 September 2004. 

Accomodation information is also on the ATVA 2004 webpage.  

 

ATVA 2004 will be a back-to-back occurrence with APLAS 2004 

(Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems, 4-6 November 

2004) in Taipei.  

 

SCOPE OF INTEREST: The scope of interest includes the following 

research areas: parametric analysis (parameter synthesis), 

automated synthesis, optimization, performance analysis, automated 

tool supports, model-checking theory, theorem-proving theory, 

state-space reduction techniques, languages in automated 

verification, real-time systems, embedded systems, 

infinite-state systems, Petri-nets, UML, synthesis, practice in 

industry, decidability and complexity issues, case studies.  

Special emphasis will be on the algorithms, complexities, tools, 

and experiments of automated verification and analysis.  

 

SPECIAL TRACKS:

ATVA 2004 will also have three special tracks with independent paper 

reviewing processes.  The three tracks are 

(1) Design of Secure/High-reliable Networks, 

(2) HW/SW Coverification and Cosynthesis, and 

(3) Hardware Verification.  

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: 

Dr. Robert Kurshan (Cadence, USA)

Prof. Rajeev Alur (U. Pennsylvania, USA)  

PAPER SUBMISSION: Each submission is limited to 15 pages with no more than
5000 words. Submissions must be written in English.  The formal proceedings
will be available at ATVA 2004 as a volume in LNCS, Springer-Verlag.  An
accepted paper without a registered author to ATVA 2004 by the deadline of
camera-ready copy will not be included in the formal proceedings.  Web-based
submission is available at http://cc.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~atva04.  Extended
versions of selected papers from the conference series will be solicited for
publication in special issues of the International Journal of Foundations of
Computer Science (IJFCS) (http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~ijfcs).
