ATVA 2015, 13th International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis
  October 12-15, 2015, Shanghai, China, http://atva2015.ios.ac.cn/


BACKGROUND
The purpose of ATVA is to promote research on theoretical and
practical aspects of automated analysis, verification and synthesis
by providing a forum for interaction between the regional and the
international research communities and industry in the field.


SCOPE 
ATVA 2015 solicits high-quality submissions in areas related to the
theory and practice of automated analysis and verification of hardware
and software systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited
to:

* Formalisms for modeling hardware, software and embedded systems
* Specification and verification of finite-state, infinite-state and parameterized systems
* Program analysis and software verification
* Analysis and verification of hardware circuits, systems-on-chip and embedded systems
* Analysis of real-time, hybrid, priced/weighted and probabilistic systems
* Deductive, algorithmic, compositional, and abstraction refinement techniques for analysis and verification
* Analytical techniques for safety, security, and dependability
* Testing and runtime analysis based on verification technology
* Analysis and verification of parallel and concurrent hardware/software systems
* Verification in industrial practice
* Applications and case studies

Theory papers should preferably be motivated by practical problems,
and applications should be based on sound theory and should solve
problems of practical interest.
