Dear colleagues, Please consider submitting a paper to TAP 2015 conference that is interested in several topics related to Frama-C. Along with regular research papers, short papers, including tool or experience report papers (6 pages), and 60-minute tutorial proposals are welcome. With kind regards, Nikolai KOSMATOV For TAP 2015 Organizers [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message] **************************************************** * * 9th International Conference * on * TESTS AND PROOFS (TAP 2015) * *http://tap2015.in.tum.de/ * * Part of STAF 2015, L'Aquila, Italy, July 20-24, 2015 *http://www.disim.univaq.it/staf2015/ * **************************************************** * * Call for Papers * * Abstract submission: February 13, 2015 * Paper submission: February 20, 2015 * **************************************************** Scope ===== The TAP conference is devoted to the synergy of proofs and tests, to the application of techniques from both sides and their combination for the advancement of software quality. Testing and proving seem to be orthogonal techniques: Once a program has been proven to be correct then additional testing seems pointless; however, when such a proof in not feasible, then testing the program seems to be the only option. This view has dominated the research community for a long time, and has resulted in distinct communities pursuing the different research areas. The development of both approaches has led to the discovery of common issues and to the realization of potential synergy. Perhaps the use of model checking in testing was one of the first signs that a counterexample to a proof may be interpreted as a test case. Recent breakthroughs in deductive techniques such as satisfiability modulo theories, abstract interpretation, and interactive theorem proving have paved the way for new and practically effective methods of powering testing techniques. Moreover, since formal, proof-based verification is costly, testing invariants and background theories can be helpful to detect errors early and to improve cost effectiveness. Summing up, in the past few years an increasing number of research efforts have encountered the need for combining proofs and tests, dropping earlier dogmatic views of incompatibility and taking instead the best of what each of these software engineering domains has to offer. The TAP conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in the converging fields of testing and proving by offering a generous forum for the presentation of ongoing research, for tutorials on established technologies and for informal discussions. TAP 2015 keynote talk will be given byEinar Broch Johnsen <http://heim.ifi.uio.no/%7Eeinarj/> Topics of Interest ================== Topics of interest cover theory definitions, tool constructions and experimentations, and include among others: - Bridging the gap between concrete and symbolic techniques, e.g. using proof search in satisfiability modulo theories solvers to enhance various testing techniques - Transfer of concepts from testing to proving (e.g., coverage criteria) and from proving to testing - Program proving with the aid of testing techniques - Verification and testing techniques combining proofs and tests - Generation of test data, oracles, or preambles by deductive techniques such as: theorem proving, model checking, symbolic execution, constraint logic programming - Model-based testing and verification - Generation of specifications by deduction - Automatic bug finding - Debugging of programs combining static and dynamic analysis - Case studies combining tests and proofs - Domain specific applications of testing and proving to new application domains such as validating security protocols, vulnerability detection of programs, security - Testing of verification environments and reasoning engines like solvers and theorem provers - New approaches such as crowd-sourcing and serious games to infer intended semantics and assess correctness - Formal frameworks - Tool descriptions and experience reports Important Dates: ================ Abstract submission: February 13, 2015 Paper submission: February 20, 2015 Notification: April 13, 2015 Camera-ready version: May 3, 2015 STAF conference: July 20-24, 2015 Program Co-Chairs: =============== Jasmin C.

Tse Margus Veanes Luca Vigan? Burkhart Wolff Fatiha Zaidi Submission: =========== Please submit your papers via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tap2015 TAP 2015 will accept three kinds of submissions: - Regular research papers: full papers with at most 16 pages in LNCS format (PDF), which have to be original, unpublished and not submitted elsewhere. Research papers should clearly describe the addressed problem, the relevant state-of-the-art, the scientifically-founded solution, and the benefits of the presented approach. - Short contributions: work in progress, (industrial) experience reports or tool demonstrations, position statements; an extended abstract with at most 6 pages in LNCS format (PDF) is expected. The same evaluation criteria apply to short papers as to regular research papers. Short papers will be reviewed to the same standards of quality as regular research papers. - Tutorial proposals: TAP 2015 further invites one-hour tutorial presentations surveying the state-of-the-art of any research field related to the topics of TAP. Tutorial proposals shall have a maximum length of 3 pages in LNCS format (PDF) and provide information about the content, a short outline, information about the speakers and previous related tutorials given by the speakers (if any). Accepted full and short papers will be published in the Springer LNCS series and will be available at the conference. Accepted tutorials will be assigned a slot of 60 minutes during the conference.
