LAST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION RV’17 - RUNTIME VERIFICATION 2017 The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification September 13-16 2017, Seattle, WA, USA Website: http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk <http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk/> Program: http://easychair.org/smart-program/RV2017/ RV-CuBES Program: http://easychair.org/smart-program/RV-CuBES2017/ 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” === VENUE === The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification will be held in the Sheraton Seattle Hotel situated in downtown Seattle. 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 available using the web-based registration form, with online payment on a secure website. Please use one form per attendee. Different possibilities of registration are available: Tutorial Day Only (13th September): 210 USD Conference including tutorial day and RV-CuBES (13-16th September) Full Registration: 780 USD Student Registration: 580 USD === Program Committee === Wolfgang Ahrendt, Chalmers Univ. of Technology/Univ. of Gothenburg, Sweden Cyrille Artho, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden Howard Barringer,The University of Manchester, UK Ezio Bartocci,Vienna University of Technology, Austria Andreas Bauer,KUKA Systems, Germany Saddek Bensalem,VERIMAG (University of Grenoble Alpes), France Eric Bodden, Paderborn University / Fraunhofer IEM, Germany Borzoo Bonakdarpour, McMaster University, Canada Christian Colombo,University of Malta, Malta Ylies Falcone,University of Grenoble Alpes, France Grigory Fedyukovich,University of Washington, USA Lu Feng,University of Virginia, USA Patrice Godefroid,Microsoft Research, USA Jean Goubault-Larrecq,CNRS & ENS de Cachan, France Alex Groce,Northern Arizona University, USA Radu Grosu,Vienna University of Technology, Austria Sylvain Hallé,University of Québec at Chicoutimi, Canada Marieke Huisman, University of Twente, Netherlands Franjo Ivancic,Google, USA Bengt Jonsson,Uppsala University, Sweden Felix Klaedtke,NEC Europe Ltd.
