Call for Papers

Aim:
The aim of the INFINITY workshop is to provide a forum for researchers interested in the development of formal methods and algorithmic techniques for the analysis of systems with infinitely many states, and their application in automated verification of complex software and hardware systems.

Formats

  • Regular papers.
  • Tool papers (NEW!).
  • Surveys (NEW!).
  • Position papers (NEW!).

    Papers in each category will be reviewed in the corresponding category and will eventually be published with a subtitle to indicate their category (e.g. tool paper, position paper, and survey). Position papers are dedicated to the presentation of research in progress, and general visions for future directions in research.

    Topics:
    Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

    • Infinite-state models of software/hardware systems
    • Abstraction techniques for infinite-state systems
    • Symbolic analysis techniques and data structures for representing infinite state spaces
    • Model-checking, static analysis, abstract interpretation, preorder/equivalence-checking, and control synthesis for infinite-state systems
    • Parameterized networks of parallel processes, dynamic networks, mobile systems
    • Systems with unbounded dynamic data and control structures
      (recursion, dynamic instantiation of processes, dynamic linked data structures, unbounded communication channels, web services, infinite data domains)
    • Probabilistic and timed systems
    • Games in modeling and verification of infinite-state systems
    • Verification techniques for security properties, cryptographic protocols
    • Verification techniques for systems biology(NEW!)

    Important Dates:
    Submission deadline: June 12 (Extended!), 2009
    Notification: July 10, 2009
    Final version: July 17, 2009
    Workshop: August 31st, 2009

    Paper submission:
    Authors are invited to submit an original contribution presenting unpublished work in the areas relevant for the scope of INFINITY. The submissions will be evaluated by the program committee and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. By submitting you agree that, in case of acceptance, at least one (co-)author will register and present the paper at the workshop.

    Contributions should be typeset in the EPTCS format and should not exceed 15 pages for regular papers and surveys, and 8 pages for position and tool papers.

    There are two ways to submit a paper:

  • The prefered way is by web through EasyChair. To submit, please login via http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=infinity09.

  • If you have problems submitting using the above method, e-mail your paper in PDF/PS format to azadeh@cs.toronto.edu and axel.legay@irisa.fr.
