Call for Partecipation - GandALF 2025
*****************************************************************************************************

The Sixteenth International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification
will take place in Valletta, Malta, 16-17 September 2025.

Web page: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://gandalfsymposium.github.io/2025/__;!!IBzWLUs!UqVHyDqALj2bUuNcRNRuimkWTx4YZ3s-Tc9KrP9Dezgx5O4V0hdvkn7yBKdxmVrmAcFIKPqiInaL1NpFWydUyMwl-OE5LFWV$ 

The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers from
academia and industry which are actively working in the fields of
Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification. The symposium covers
an ample spectrum of themes, ranging from theory to applications, and
encourages cross-fertilization. Papers focused on formal methods are
especially welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research or
tool papers on all relevant topics in these areas. Papers discussing
new ideas that are at an early stage of development are also welcome.

The topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to,
the following:

Automata Theory
Automated Deduction
Computational aspects of Game Theory
Concurrency and Distributed computation
Decision Procedures
Deductive, Compositional, and Abstraction Techniques for Verification
Finite Model Theory
First-order and Higher-order Logics
Formal Languages
Formal Methods for Systems Biology, Hybrid, Embedded, and Mobile Systems
Games and Automata for Verification
Game Semantics
Logical aspects of Computational Complexity
Logics of Programs
Modal and Temporal Logics
Model Checking
Models of Reactive and Real-Time Systems
Program Analysis and Software Verification
Run-time Verification and Testing
Specification and Verification of Finite and Infinite-state Systems Synthesis

## Invited Speakers:

- Radu Mardare (Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland)
- Simon Fowler (University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland)

## Important dates:

Early registration deadline: 30 July 2025
Conference dates: 16-17 September 2025

## Venue:

The Valletta Campus, originally built as a Jesuit College, began construction in 1595 under Grand
Master Martino Garzes. Located between St. Paul, St. Christopher, Merchants, and Archbishop Streets,
the building features Renaissance architecture with a central courtyard. The Jesuit church, part of
the complex, was built between 1592 and 1609. Initially plain, the facade was redesigned in the
Baroque style around 1647 by architect Francesco Buonamici.
The interior boasts an ornate ceiling, a historic staircase, and portrait-lined corridors. Some current
offices were once Jesuit priests’ cells. The building suffered major damage in a 1634 explosion and
the 1693 earthquake, leading to various reconstructions. Notable additions included a sundial (1695)
and a courtyard clock, both with Latin inscriptions.
After the Jesuits were expelled in 1768, the Order of St. John took over, maintaining education.
In 1769, a formal University was established, re-inaugurated in 1779. During French rule (1798–1800),
the building became the École Centrale, with scientific and educational functions. The British later
restored the University and added a Doric-style entrance in 1824. The building was used for various purposes,
including a WWII air raid center and offices such as the Anglo-Maltese Library and Heritage Malta.
Today, it hosts several institutions, including the CEU, RIDT, Conflict Resolution Centre, and the
International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law.
