CALL FOR PARTICIPATION RV’17 - RUNTIME VERIFICATION 2017 The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification September 13-16 2017, Seattle, WA, USA http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk Affiliated Event: RV-CuBES - An International Workshop on Competitions, Usability, Benchmarks, Evaluation, and Standardisation for Runtime Verification Tools === OVERVIEW === Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability, and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor and effectiveness compared to conventional testing, and are generally more practical than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime verification can be used prior to deployment, for testing, verification, and debugging purposes, and after deployment for ensuring reliability, safety, and security and for providing fault containment and recovery as well as online system repair. Topics of interest to the conference include: specification languages monitor construction techniques program instrumentation logging, recording, and replay combination of static and dynamic analysis specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems runtime checking of privacy and security policies statistical model checking metrics and statistical information gathering program/system execution visualization fault localization, containment, recovery and repair integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical systems, safety/mission-critical systems, enterprise and systems software, autonomous and reactive control systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy. === INVITED TALKS === Rodrigo Fonseca, Brown University, USA: “The Design and Applications for a Tracing Plane for Distributed Systems” Vlad Levin and Jakob Lichtenberg, Microsoft, USA: “Windows Driver Verification Platform” Andreas Zeller, Saarland University, Germany: “Learning Input Languages for Runtime Verification” === TUTORIALS === Ankush Desai and Shaz Qadeer, UC Berkeley and Microsoft Research, USA: “P : Modular and Safe Asynchronous Programming” Madhusudan Parthasarathy, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA: “Machine-learning State Properties” Adrian Francalanza, University of Malta, Malta: “Foundations For Runtime Monitoring” === ACCEPTED PAPERS === === Regular Papers Bernhard K.

The venue is within walking distance of the famous Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Aquarium, and the Historic Seattle Waterfront. The weather in September still permits many open-air opportunities to shop, eat, and even sail in the Elliott Bay. Exceptionally well organized, Seattle’s public transport connects the conference venue with the Seattle Center, which is the home of popular attractions like the Space Needle, EMP Museum, and Chihuly Garden and Glass. === REGISTRATION === Registration is now available using the web-based registration form, with online payment on a secure website.
