================================================== 30th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied Computing Software Verification and Testing Track April 13 - 17, 2015, Salamanca, Spain More information: http://fmt.cs.utwente.nl/conferences/sac-svt2015/ and http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/ =================================================== Important dates --------------- * September 26, 2014: Submission of regular papers -- EXTENDED * November 17, 2014: Notification of paper acceptance/rejection * December 8, 2014: Camera-ready copies of accepted papers ACM Symposium on Applied Computing ---------------------------------- The ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has gathered scientists from different areas of computing over the past twenty-nine years. The forum represents an opportunity to interact with different communities sharing an interest in applied computing. SAC 2015 is sponsored by SIGAPP and will be held at the UNESCO world heritage city of Salamanca in Spain. Software Verification and Testing Track --------------------------------------- We invite authors to submit new results in formal verification and testing, as well as development of technologies to improve the usability of formal methods in software engineering. Also welcome are detailed descriptions of applications of mechanical verification to large scale software. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - model checking - theorem proving - correct by construction development - model-based testing - verification-based testing - symbolic execution - static and run-time analysis - abstract interpretation - analysis methods for dependable systems - software certification and proof carrying code - fault diagnosis and debugging - verification of large scale software systems - real world applications and case studies applying software verification Submissions Guidelines ---------------------- Paper submissions must be original, unpublished work. Submissions should be in electronic format, via the START site: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/Paper-SubmissionUploadPage.htm Author(s) name(s) and address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be avoided and made in the third person. Submitted paper will undergo a blind review process. Authors of accepted papers should submit an editorial revision of their papers that fits within six two-column pages (an extra two pages, to a total of eight pages, may be available at a charge). Please comply to this page limitation already at submission time. Accepted papers will be published in the ACM SAC 2015 proceedings. Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of the paper/poster in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending SAC MUST present the paper. This is a requirement for the paper/poster to be included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of scheduled papers and posters will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE digital library. A special issue of Science of Computer Programming has been confirmed. Selected papers will be invited for submission, and will be peer-reviewed according to the standard policy of Science of Computer Programming. Student Research Competition ---------------------------- As before, SAC 2015 organises a Student Research Competition (SRC) Program to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with researchers and practitioners in their areas of interest. Guidelines and information about the SRC program can be found at http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/. Submission to the SRC program should be in electronic form via the following website http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2015/SRC-SubmissionUploadPage.htm Program Committee ----------------- Laura Brandan Briones, National University of Cordoba, Argentina Maximiliano Cristi·, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina Marco Faella, University of Naples, Italy Ylies Falcone, University of Grenoble Alpes, France Tingting Han, University of London, UK Fabrice Kordon, University Pierre et Marie Curie, France Stefan Leue, University of Konstanz, Germany Shaoying Liu, Hosei University, Japan Malte Lochau, Darmstadt University, Germany Annabelle McIver, Macquarie University, Australia Mercedes Merayo, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain Dominique Mery, University of Lorraine, France Mohammad Mousavi, Halmstad University, Sweden Brian Nielsen, Aalborg University, Denmark Jun Pang, University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg Corina Pasareanu, NASA Ames, USA Wishnu Prasetya, Utrecht University, The Netherlands Marjan Sirjani, Reykjavik University, Iceland Hasan Sˆzer, ÷zyegin University, Turkey Tanja Vos, Valencia University, Spain Anton Wijs, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands Liu Yang, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Gianluigi Zavattaro, University of Bologna, Italy Lijun Zhang, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Program Committee Chairs ----------------- Gwen Salaun, University of Grenoble Alpes, France Marielle Stoelinga, University of Twente, Netherlands
