The Fifteenth International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification (GandALF 24) will be held in Reykjavik (Iceland) on June 19-21, 2024. This year, GandALF is part of the Reykjavik Summer of Cool Logic 2024 (SCooL 2024) and is co-located with the Twelfth Scandinavian Logic Symposium (SLSS 2024) and the Fifth Nordic Logic Summer School (NLS 2024).


The aim of GandALF 2024 is to bring together researchers from academia and industry who are actively working in the fields of Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification. The idea is to cover an ample spectrum of themes, ranging from theory to applications, and stimulate cross-fertilization. Papers focused on formal methods are especially welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on all relevant topics in these areas. Papers discussing new ideas that are at an early stage of development are also welcome. The topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the following:


Automata Theory

Automated Deduction

Computational aspects of Game Theory

Concurrency and Distributed computation

Decision Procedures

Deductive, Compositional, and Abstraction Techniques for Verification

Finite Model Theory

First-order and Higher-order Logics

Formal Languages

Formal Methods for Systems Biology, Hybrid, Embedded, and Mobile Systems

Game Semantics

Games and Automata for Verification

Logical aspects of Computational Complexity

Logics of Programs

Modal and Temporal Logics

Model Checking

Models of Reactive and Real-Time Systems

Probabilistic Models (Markov Decision processes)

Program Analysis and Software Verification

Reinforcement Learning

Run-time Verification and Testing

Specification and Verification of Finite and Infinite-state Systems

Synthesis


Important Dates

Paper submission deadline (extended): 19 April 2024 (this Friday!)

Acceptance notification: 10 May 2024

Camera-ready deadline: 10 June 2024

Conference dates: 19-21 June 2024

⚠ all deadlines are AoE


Publication

The proceedings will be published by Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (https://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~eptcs/). Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit a revised version of their work to a special issue of the high-quality, open-access journal Logical Methods in Computer Science.

The previous editions of GandALF already led to special issues of the International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science (GandALF 2010), Theoretical Computer Science (GandALF 2011 and 2012), Information and Computation (GandALF 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020), Acta Informatica (GandALF 2015) and Logical Methods in Computer Science (GandALF 2021, 2022, and 2023).


Submission

Submitted papers should not exceed 14 pages (excluding references and clearly marked appendices) typeset using EPTCS format (please use the LaTeX style provided at https://style.eptcs.org/), be unpublished, and contain original research. For papers reporting experimental results, authors are encouraged to make their data available with their submission. Submissions must be in PDF format and will be handled via easychair at the following address:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gandalf23


ASL sponsorship

GandALF 2024, as part of SCooL 2024, is sponsored by the Association for Symbolic Logic (https://aslonline.org/), which means that tudents that are ASL members may apply for ASL travel support for any or all events in the context of SCooL 2024. Applications and recommendations for any of the events must be received before the 19th of March. No late applications will be accepted. Decisions will be communicated before the 19th of April.


Student Accommodation

Students attending SCooL 2024 can apply for shared accommodation close to Reykjavik University. However, please note that accommodation availability is limited, and priority will be granted to those attending multiple events. The application deadline is May 15, 2024, but interested students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

To apply for a spot and for more information, please visit https://scool24.github.io/student_accommodation/
