RV 2017
*** DEADLINE EXTENSION: MAY 8 ***
Call for Papers and Tutorials
The 17th International Conference on Runtime Verification
September 13-16, Seattle, WA, USA
http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk<http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk/>

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
* integrated vehicle health management (IVHM)
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<http://www.runtime-verification.org/>.
RV 2017 will be held September 13-16 in Seattle, WA, USA. RV 2017 will feature
a tutorial day (September 13), and three conference days (September 14-16).

General Information on Submissions
All papers and tutorials will appear in the conference proceedings in an LNCS
volume. Submitted papers and tutorials 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=rv17
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 and tutorial must attend RV 2017 to
present.
Paper Submissions
There are three categories of papers which can be submitted: regular, short or
tool 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.
* Tool Demonstration Papers (up to 8 pages, not including references)
should present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions to
existing tools supporting runtime verification. The paper must include
information on tool availability, maturity, selected experimental results and
it should provide a link to a website containing the theoretical background and
user guide. Furthermore, we strongly encourage authors to make their tools and
benchmarks available with their submission.
The Program Committee of RV 2017 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<http://link.springer.com/journal/10703>.
Tutorial Submissions
Tutorials are two-to-three-hour presentations on a selected topic.
Additionally, tutorial presenters will be offered to publish a paper of up to
20 pages in the LNCS conference proceedings, not including references.
A proposal for a tutorial must contain the subject of the tutorial, a brief
abstract, a proposed format and timelines (of different parts), a note on the
relevance to RV, a note on previous similar tutorials (if applicable) and the
differences to this incarnation, and a brief biography of the presenter. The
proposal should not exceed 2 pages.
RV-CuBES: A Workshop Replacement for the Competition
The Runtime Verification Competition will not be running in 2017. In its place
a Workshop is being organised to discuss the future of the competition and
showcase existing Runtime Verification tools. Please see the relevant
page<http://rv2017.cs.manchester.ac.uk/rv-cubes/> on the conference website for
details.
