BACKGROUND
The aim of Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS) 2015
is to contribute to the interaction and exchange of ideas among members
of the international research community on tools and techniques for the
verification of critical systems.
SCOPE
We encourage the submissions of research ideas in order to stimulate
discussions at the workshop. Reports on ongoing work or surveys on work
published elsewhere are welcome. The Programme Committee will select
research ideas on the basis of submitted abstracts according to significance
and general interest. The subject of the ideas is to be interpreted broadly
and inclusively. It covers all aspects of automated verification, including
model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT constraint solving, abstract
interpretation, and refinement pertaining to various types of critical
systems which need to meet stringent dependability requirements
(safety-critical, business-critical, performance-critical, etc.). Contributions
that describe different techniques, or industrial case studies are encouraged.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- Model Checking
- Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving
- SAT, SMT or Constraint Solving for Verification
- Abstract Interpretation
- Specification and Refinement
- Requirements Capture and Analysis
- Verification of Software and Hardware
- Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience
- Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems
- Dependable Systems
- Verified System Development
- Industrial Applications
IMPORTANT DATES

Submission of student grant application: 10th August 2015
Notification (research idea): 14th August 2015
Early registration: 18th August 2015
Submissions of final versions: 21st August 2015
INVITED SPEAKERS
Colin O'Halloran (D-RisQ & the University of Oxford)
Don Sannella (Contemplate & the University of Edinburgh)
WORKSHOPS
AI4FM 2015: 1 September 2015 -- www.ai4fm.org/ai4fm-2015/
including invited talk by J Strother Moore (Univerity of Texas at Austin)
VENUE
The event will be held in the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences
(ICMS) in the centre of the historic old town of Edinburgh - an UNESCO world
heritage site.
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Research ideas must be written in English and not exceed 2 pages using the
dedicated AVoCS 2015 EASST template available from the the following link
(for LaTeX and Word):
http://journal.ub.tu-berlin.de/public/template/
The presentation of these ideas will be organised around discussions, where the
presenter should also prepare a set of question in which the audience will discuss.
Submissions are handled via Easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=avocs2015
The research ideas will be included in the pre-proceedings, which will be available
in the form of a Heriot-Watt University Technical Report and will be available at the
workhsop.
STUDENT GRANTS
Thanks to sponsorships from Altran, FME and SICSA we can offer financial
support for a limited number of students registering for AVoCS in the form
of a registration fee waiver (full or partial). As this is limited, we
ask the students that would like to take the advantage of this support
to submit a short application. The details on how to apply is available
from AVoCS webpage.
SPECIAL SCP JOURNAL ISSUE
Authors of a selection of the best papers presented at the workshop will be
invited to submit extended versions of their work for publication in a
special issue of Elsevier's journal Science of Computer Programming.
