Springer LNCS series
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Workshop on Reachability Problems will be hosted by the
Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic
and will be co-located with Joint MFCS and CSL 2010. RP'10 is
the fourth in the series of workshops following three successful
meetings at Ecole Polytechnique, France in 2009 at University of
Liverpool, UK in 2008 and at Turku University, Finland in 2007.
Scope: The Reachability Workshop is specifically aimed at
gathering together scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds
interested in reachability problems that appear in
- Algebraic structures
- Computational models
- Hybrid systems
- Logic and Verification
Invited Speakers:
- Markus Holzer (Giessen University, Germany)
- Kim Guldstrand Larsen (Aalborg University, Denmark)
- Alexander Rabinovich (Tel Aviv University, Israel)
- Philippe Schnoebelen (ENS Cachan, France)
Important dates:
Submission: April 21, 2010
Notification: June 3, 2010
Final version: June 10, 2010
Conference dates: Aug. 27-29, 2010
Topics of interest:
Papers presenting original contributions related to reachability
problems in different computational models and systems are
being sought. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Reachability for infinite state systems, rewriting systems;
Reachability analysis in counter/ timed/ cellular/ communicating
automata; Petri-Nets; computational aspects of semigroups,
groups and rings; Reachability in dynamical and hybrid systems;
frontiers between decidable and undecidable reachability
problems; complexity and decidability aspects; predictability
in iterative maps and new computational paradigms
The reachability problems are in the core of many questions
of computer science and mathematics. This topic covers
many aspects about the analysis of computational traces/paths
in classical and unconventional computational models, logic,
algebraic structures as well as in mathematical systems and
control theory. The classical reachability can be formulated as
follows: Given a computational system or model with a set of
allowed transformations (functions). Decide whether a certain
state of a system is reachable from a given initial state by a set
of allowed transformations. The same questions can be asked
not only about reachability of exact states of the system but
also about a set of states expressed in term of some property
as a parameterized reachability problem. Another set of
predictability questions can be seen in terms of reachability of
eligible traces of computations, their equivalence; unavoidability
of some dynamics and a possibility to avoid undesirable dynamic
using a limited control.
Proceedings
The Conference Proceedings will be published as the volume
of the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science
(LNCS) series http://www.springer.com/lncs and distributed at the
Conference. We plan also to publish selected papers in a special
issue of a high quality journal following the regular referee procedure.
Submissions:
Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper
with at most 12 pages (in LaTeX, formatted according
to LNCS guidelines) via the conference web page.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put
into an appendix to be read by the program committee
members at their discretion.
Submissions deviating from these guidelines risk rejection.
Electronic submissions should be formatted in postscript
or pdf. Simultaneous submission to other conferences or
workshops with published proceedings is not allowed.
Organizing Committee:
- Antonin Kucera (Masaryk University)
- Igor Potapov (University of Liverpool)
