---------------------------------------------------------------------- (apologies for multiple copies) Call for Papers 5th Workshop on Horn Clauses for Verification and Synthesis (HCVS) Affiliated with ICLP at FLoC 2018 July 13, 2018 - Oxford, UK https://www.sci.unich.it/hcvs18/ Invited speakers: Pierre Ganty (IMDEA Software Institute) Hiroshi Unno (University of Tsukuba) Submission deadlines: - Paper submission: 15 April 2018 - Paper notification: 15 May 2018 - Camera-ready: 31 May 2018 - Workshop: 13 July 2018 Many Program Verification and Synthesis problems of interest can be modeled directly using Horn clauses, and many recent advances in the CLP and CAV communities have centered around efficiently solving problems presented as Horn clauses. This workshop aims to bring together researchers working in the communities of Constraint/Logic Programming (e.g., ICLP and CP), Program Verification (e.g., CAV, TACAS, and VMCAI), and Automated Deduction (e.g., CADE), on the topic of Horn clause based analysis, verification and synthesis. Horn clauses for verification and synthesis have been advocated by these communities at different times and from different perspectives, and this workshop is organized to stimulate interaction and a fruitful exchange and integration of experiences. The workshop follows four previous meetings: HCVS 2017 in Gothenburg, Sweden (w/CADE), HCVS 2016 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands (w/ETAPS), HCVS 2015 in San Francisco, CA, USA (w/CAV), and HCVS 2014 in Vienna, Austria (w/VSL). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the use of Horn clauses, constraints, and related formalisms in the following areas: - Analysis and verification of programs and systems of various kinds (e.g., imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, higher-order, concurrent) - Program synthesis - Program testing - Program transformation - Constraint solving - Type systems - Case studies and tools - Challenging problems We solicit regular papers describing theory and implementation of Horn-clause based analysis and tool descriptions. We also solicit extended abstracts describing work-in-progress, as well as presentations covering previously published results that are of interest to the workshop. Program Committee: - Elvira Albert (Complutense University of Madrid) - Maria Alpuente (Universitat Politecnica de Valencia) - Nikolaj Bjorner (Microsoft Research) - Giorgio Delzanno (Universita degli Studi di Genova) - Fabio Fioravanti (University of Chieti-Pescara) - John Gallagher (Roskilde University and IMDEA Software Institute) - Pierre-Loic Garoche (ONERA) - Arie Gurfinkel (University of Waterloo) - Temesghen Kahsai (Amazon) -chair - Ekaterina Komendantskaya (Heriot-Watt University) - David Monniaux (CNRS/Verimag) - Jorge A. Navas (SRI International) - Carlos Olarte (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte) - Maurizio Proietti (IASI-CNR) - Philipp Rummer (Uppsala University) - Caterina Urban (ETH Zurich) - German Vidal (Universitat Politecnica de Valencia) -chair Submission has to be done in one of the following formats: - Regular papers (up to 12 pages plus bibliography, typeset in EPTCS format), which should present previously unpublished work (completed or in progress), including descriptions of research, tools, and applications. - Extended abstracts (up to 3 pages in EPTCS format), which describe work in progress or aim to initiate discussions. - Presentation-only papers, i.e., papers already submitted or presented at a conference or another workshop. Such papers can be submitted in any format, and will not be included in the workshop post-proceedings. All submitted papers will be refereed by the program committee and will be selected for inclusion in accordance with the referee reports. Accepted regular papers and extended abstracts will be published electronically as a volume in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS) series, see http://www.eptcs.org/ Authors of accepted papers are required to ensure that at least one of them will be present at the workshop. Papers must be submitted through the EasyChair system using the web page: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hcvs2018 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MLton-user" group.
