CALL FOR PAPERS - ATVA 2021
--------------------------------------------
The 19th International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and
Analysis (ATVA 2021), 18 - 22 Oct 2021, Gold Coast, Australia. If the pandemic
means that travelling is still an issue in October, we might change the plan
and host the conference online.

ATVA 2021 is the 19th in a series of symposia aimed at bringing together
academics, industrial researchers and practitioners in the area of theoretical
and practical aspects of automated analysis, synthesis, and verification of
hardware, software, and machine learning (ML) systems. ATVA is a CORE Rank A
conference.

- Formalisms for modelling hardware, software and embedded systems
- Testing, analysis, verification and security of machine learning systems
- Specification and verification of finite-state, infinite-state and
parameterised system
- Program analysis and software verification
- Analysis and verification of hardware circuits, system-on-chip and embedded
systems
- Analysis of real-time, hybrid, priced, weighted and probabilistic systems
- Deductive, algorithmic, compositional, and abstraction/refinement techniques
for analysis and verification
- Analytical techniques for safety, security, and dependability
- Testing and runtime analysis based on verification technology
- Analysis and verification of parallel and concurrent systems
- Verification in industrial practice
- Synthesis for hardware and software systems
- Applications and case studies
- Automated tool support
- Analysis and verification of Machine Learning and AI systems
------------------------------
Submission and Publication
------------------------------
ATVA welcomes submissions in the following two categories:
1) Regular research papers (16 pages, including references)
2) Tool papers (6 pages, including references)
Submissions must be in Springer's LNCS format. Additional material may be
placed in an appendix, to be read at the discretion of the reviewers and to be
omitted in the final version. Formatting style files and further guidelines for
formatting can be found at the Springer website. Tool papers must include
information about a URL from where the tool can be downloaded or accessed
online for evaluation. The URL must also contain a set of examples and a user
manual that describes the usage of the tool through examples. In case the tool
needs to be downloaded and installed, the URL must contain instructions for
installation of the tool on Linux/Windows/macOS.
Accepted papers in both categories will be published in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science series. At least one author of each accepted paper is
expected to register and present the paper at the conference.
Authors should consult Springer's authors' guidelines
(ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/svproc/guidelines/Springer_Guidelines_for_Authors_of_Proceedings_CS.pdf)
and use their proceedings templates, either for LaTeX or for Word, for the
preparation of their papers. Springer encourages authors to include their
ORCIDs in their papers. In addition, the corresponding author of each paper,
acting on behalf of all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a
Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright form
should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the files have
been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of the papers cannot
be made.
Papers must be submitted through EasyChair.
