RV 2018
Call for Papers
The 18th International Conference on Runtime Verification
November 10-13, 2018, Limassol, Cyprus
https://rv2018.isp.uni-luebeck.de
rv18(at)easychair(dot)org
****************************************************************************


Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of
the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime
verification techniques are crucial for system correctness, reliability,
and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor and
effectiveness compared to conventional testing, and are generally more
practical than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime verification can
be used prior to deployment, for testing, verification, and debugging
purposes, and after deployment for ensuring reliability, safety, and
security and for providing fault containment and recovery as well as
online system repair.

Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:

* specification languages
* monitor construction techniques
* program instrumentation
* logging, recording, and replay
* combination of static and dynamic analysis
* specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces
* monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems
* runtime checking of privacy and security policies
* statistical model checking
* metrics and statistical information gathering
* program/system execution visualization
* fault localization, containment, recovery and repair
* dynamic type checking

Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical
systems, safety/mission-critical systems, enterprise and systems
software, autonomous and reactive control systems, health management and
diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy.

We welcome contributions exploring the combination of runtime
verification techniques with machine learning and static analysis.
Whilst these are highlight topics, papers falling into these categories
will not be treated differently from other contributions.

An overview of previous RV conferences and earlier workshops can be
found at: http://www.runtime-verification.org.

RV 2018 will be held November 10-13 in Limassol, Cyprus. RV 2018 will
feature a tutorial day (November 10), and three conference days
(November 11-13).

IMPORTANT DATES
----------
Papers as well as tutorial proposals will follow the following timeline
(Anywhere on Earth):

* Abstract deadline: June 18, 2018
* Paper deadline: June 25, 2018
* Paper notification: September 10, 2018
* Camera-ready deadline: September 21, 2018
* Conference: November 10-13, 2018

GENERAL INFORMATION ON SUBMISSIONS
----------
All accepted papers (including short papers) will appear in the
conference proceedings in an LNCS volume. More precisely, the
proceedings will appear within the formal methods subline of LNCS.
Submitted papers must use the LNCS/Springer style detailed here:

http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Papers must be original work and not be submitted for publication
elsewhere. Papers must be written in English and submitted
electronically (in PDF format) using the EasyChair submission page here:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv18

The page limitations mentioned below include all text and figures, but
exclude references. Additional details omitted due to space limitations
may be included in a clearly marked appendix, that will be reviewed at
the discretion of reviewers, but not included in the proceedings.

At least one author of each accepted paper must attend RV 2018 for
presentation.

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
----------
There are two categories of papers which can be submitted: regular or
short papers. Papers in each category will be reviewed by at least 3
members of the Program Committee.

* Regular Papers (up to 15 pages, not including references) should
present original unpublished results. We welcome theoretical papers,
system papers, papers describing domain-specific variants of RV, and
case studies on runtime verification.
* Short Papers (up to 6 pages, not including references) may present
novel but not necessarily thoroughly worked out ideas, for example
emerging runtime verification techniques and applications, or techniques
and applications that establish relationships between runtime
verification and other domains.

The Program Committee of RV 2018 will give a best paper award, and a
selection of accepted regular papers will be invited to appear in a
special issue of the Springer Journal on Formal Methods in System Design.

RELATED EVENTS
----------
The RV conference also includes an RV tool contest as well as an
exhibition of industrial-strength runtime verification tools and
approaches. Separate calls for contribution to these events will be
issued soon.
