CALL FOR PAPERS  VSTTE 2014

**********************************************************************

6th Working Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and 
Experiments
July 17 - 18, 2014
Vienna, Austria
http://vsl2014.at/vstte/

Co-located with the Vienna Summer of Logic (http://vsl2014.at/)
**********************************************************************

Submission Deadline: April 25, 2014

SCOPE:

The Sixth Working Conference on Verified Software:
Theories, Tools, and Experiments follows a successful inaugural
working conference at Zurich in 2005 followed by
conferences in Toronto (2008), Edinburgh (2010), Philadelphia
(2012), and Atherton (2013). The goal of this conference is to advance
the state of the art in the science and technology of software 
verification,
through the interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and
experimental validation.

We welcome submissions describing significant advances in the
production of verified software, i.e., software that has been
proved to meet its functional specifications.  We are
especially interested in submissions describing large-scale
verification efforts that involve collaboration, theory unification,
tool integration, and formalized domain knowledge.  We welcome papers
describing novel experiments and case studies evaluating verification
techniques and technologies.  Topics of interest include education,
requirements modeling, specification languages,
specification/verification case-studies, formal calculi, software
design methods, automatic code generation, refinement methodologies,
compositional analysis, verification tools (e.g., static analysis, dynamic
analysis, model checking, theorem proving, satisfiability), tool
integration, benchmarks, challenge problems, and integrated
verification environments.


PAPER SUBMISSION

Papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the
Program Committee. We are accepting both long (limited to 16 pages)
and short (limited to 10 pages) paper submissions, written in English.
Short submissions also cover Verification Pearls describing an
elegant proof or proof technique.  Submitted research papers and
system descriptions must be original and not submitted for publication
elsewhere.

Research paper submissions must be in LNCS format and must
include a cogent and self-contained description of the ideas, methods,
results, and comparison to existing work.  Submissions of theoretical,
practical, and experimental contributions are equally encouraged,
including those that focus on specific problems or problem domains.

Papers should be submitted through:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vstte2014.

Submissions that arrive late, are not in the proper format, or are too
long will not be considered.  The post-conference proceedings of VSTTE 
2014 will be
published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series.  Authors of accepted
papers will be requested to sign a form transferring copyright of
their contribution to Springer-Verlag.  The use of LaTeX and the Springer
LNCS class files, obtainable 
fromhttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html,
is strongly encouraged.

PUBLICATION

Accepted  papers will be  published as post-Proceedings, to
appear in Springer's Lectures Notes in Computer Science.
