Systems Software Verification (SSV 2011)

Real Software, Real Problems, Real Solutions

August 26-27 2011, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

https://es.fbk.eu/events/ssv2011

Industrial-strength software analysis and verification has advanced in recent years through the introduction of model checking, automated and interactive theorem proving, and static analysis techniques as well as correctness by design, correctness by contract, and model-driven development. However, many techniques are working under restrictive assumptions which are invalidated by complex (embedded) system software such as operating system kernels, low-level device drivers or microcontroller code.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and developers from both academia and industry, who are facing real software and real problems to find real, applicable solutions. By "real" we mean problems such as time-to-market or reliability that the industry is facing and is trying to fix in software that is deployed in the market place. A real solution is one that is applicable to the problem in industry and not one that only applies to an abstract, academic toy version of it. This forum will discuss software analysis/development techniques and tools; it will also serve as a platform to discuss open problems and future challenges in dealing with existing and upcoming systems level code.

Topics include (but are not limited to):

model checking

automated and interactive theorem proving

static analysis

model-driven development

embedded systems development

automated testing

programming languages

verifying compilers

software certification

software tools

experience reports

Submissions must be made electronically through the EasyChair system until May 29 2011, 23:59h Samoan time. Papers should be up to 15 pages in pdf format and formatted in LNCS style. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee. All will be subject to peer review under normal conference standards. Experience reports and papers on work in progress are welcome as long as there is a clear contribution. Submissions which are based or discuss a non-trivial piece of software are required to make all those non-standard software parts available, which a referee may need, in order to check the claims of the submission.

Submitted papers must not have previously appeared in a journal or conference with published proceedings and must not be concurrently submitted to any other peer-reviewed workshop, symposium, conference or archival journal. Any partial overlap with any such published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated.

The workshop proceedings are planned to be published in the form of post-proceedings in the Springer series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).
