Dear Colleagues,

Reachability Problems 2021 will be organised 25-27 October 2021
as a hybrid event (real and online talks/attendance) in Liverpool if possible,
or else fully virtually, depending on the COVID-19 situation.

Please find a call for papers for RP2021:

******************************
The 15th International Conference on Reachability Problems (RP'21)
is being organised by the Department of Computer Science
at the University of Liverpool. http://rp2021.csc.liv.ac.uk/

INVITED SPEAKERS:
- Udi Boker, IDC, Herzliya, Israel
- Clare Dixon, Manchester University, UK
- Javier Esparza, Technical University of Munich, Germany
- Damien Woods, Maynooth University Hamilton Institute, Ireland.
- Georg Zetzsche, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems,
Kaiserslautern, Germany.

Papers presenting original contributions related to a wide spectrum
reachability questions in different computational models and systems
are being sought. This will also be the occasion to review recent
breakthroughs by renowned invited experts and survey emerging trends
and emphasise on key open challenges. Participants are kindly encouraged
to discuss core scientific issues that need to be further tackled.

The conference proceedings will be published in
Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
A selection of articles among the contributed papers
will be invited to a special issue of a journal (TBA).

TOPICS
The conference is specifically aimed at gathering together
scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds interested
in reachability problems that appear in

- Algebraic structures
- Automata theory and formal languages
- Computational game theory
- Concurrency and distributed computation
- Decision procedures in computational models
- Graphs and dynamical networks
- Hybrid dynamical systems
- Logic and model checking
- Verification of finite and infinite-state systems

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- reachability problems in infinite-state systems,
- rewriting systems, dynamical and hybrid systems;
- reachability problems in computational games and distributed
systems;
- reachability problems in dynamical networks,
- reachability problems in logic and verification;
- reachability problems in formal methods;
- reachability analysis in different computational models,
counter timed/ cellular/ communicating automata;
- Petri nets; computational and combinatorial aspects of algebraic
structures
(semigroups, groups and rings);
- frontiers between decidable and undecidable reachability problems;
- predictability in iterative maps and new computational paradigms.

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION. There are two categories of submissions:

REGULAR PAPERS
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of a full paper
with at most 12 pages (excluding the bibliography and potential
appendices)
formatted according to the LNCS guidelines.

Authors are asked to submit their papers through EasyChair.
Submission deadline for full papers on July 8 AoE.
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rp2021

PRESENTATIONS ONLY
In addition to the formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings
volume, we invite researchers 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.
