Call For Papers

12th International Workshop on Verification of Infinite-State Systems
(INFINITY 2010 - http://www.it.uu.se/workshop/infinity2010)

Singapore, September 21, 2010
Co-located with ATVA 2010 (http://atva10.comp.nus.edu.sg)

Aim:

The aim of the INFINITY workshop is to provide a forum for researchers
interested in the development of formal methods and algorithmic techniques for
the analysis of systems with infinitely many states, and their application in
automated verification of complex software and hardware systems.

Program Committee:

* Parosh Abdulla, Uppsala University, Sweden
* Yu-Fang Chen (co-chair), Academia Sinica, Taiwan
* Peter Habermehl, LIAFA, Universite Denis Diderot---Paris 7, CNRS, France
* Radu Iosif, VERIMAG, Universite Joseph Fourier/INPG/CNRS, France
* Barbara Koenig, Universitat Duisburg-Essen, Germany
* Akash Lal, Microsoft Research, Bangalore, India
* Richard Mayr, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
* Kedar Namjoshi, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, USA
* Jean-Francois Raskin, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium
* Ahmed Rezine (co-chair), Uppsala University, Sweden
* Arnaud Sangnier, Universita di Genova, Italy
* Yih-Kuen Tsay, National Taiwan University, Taiwan
* Tomas Vojnar, Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

* Infinite-state models of software/hardware systems
* Abstraction techniques for infinite-state systems
* Symbolic analysis techniques and data structures for representing infinite state spaces
* Model-checking, static analysis, abstract interpretation, preorder/equivalence-checking, and control synthesis for infinite-state systems
* Parameterized networks of parallel processes, dynamic networks, mobile systems
* Systems with unbounded dynamic data and control structures
* Probabilistic and timed systems
* Games in modeling and verification of infinite-state systems
* Verification techniques for security properties, cryptographic protocols
* Verification techniques for systems biology

Paper Submission:

There are two types of submissions.

* Regular papers will be thoroughly evaluated by the programme committee and accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings. Authors are invited to submit an original contribution presenting unpublished work in the relevant areas. By submitting you agree that, in case of acceptance, at least one (co-)author will register and present the paper at the workshop. Contributions should be typeset in the EPTCS format and should not exceed 15 pages.

* Presentations are reports on recent (or ongoing) work. It is possible to submit a paper which recently appeared (or which is going to appear) in proceedings of another conference, or which has not yet been submitted. Neither the paper nor the abstract will be published in the proceedings. These contributions will be judged solely on the basis of their attractiveness to the workshop. Authors are invited to submit a one-page abstract.

Both kind of papers should be submitted through EasyChair by following the link: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=infinity2010.

Proceedings:

Pre-proceedings of INFINITY 2010 will be available at the workshop in a printed
form. Final versions of the papers will appear in a volume of Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science.
