CALL FOR PAPERS  VSTTE 2014 
********************************************************************** 

6th Working Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments 
July 17 - 18, 2014 
Vienna, Austria 
http://vsl2014.at/vstte/ 

Co-located with the Vienna Summer of Logic (http://vsl2014.at/) 
********************************************************************** 

Submission Deadline: April 25, 2014 

SCOPE: 

The Sixth Working Conference on Verified Software: 
Theories, Tools, and Experiments follows a successful inaugural 
working conference at Zurich in 2005 followed by 
conferences in Toronto (2008), Edinburgh (2010), Philadelphia 
(2012), and Atherton (2013). The goal of this conference is to advance 
the state of the art in the science and technology of software verification, 
through the interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and 
experimental validation. 

We welcome submissions describing significant advances in the 
production of verified software, i.e., software that has been 
proved to meet its functional specifications.  We are 
especially interested in submissions describing large-scale 
verification efforts that involve collaboration, theory unification, 
tool integration, and formalized domain knowledge.  We welcome papers 
describing novel experiments and case studies evaluating verification 
techniques and technologies.  Topics of interest include education, 
requirements modeling, specification languages, 
specification/verification case-studies, formal calculi, software 
design methods, automatic code generation, refinement methodologies, 
compositional analysis, verification tools (e.g., static analysis, dynamic 
analysis, model checking, theorem proving, satisfiability), tool 
integration, benchmarks, challenge problems, and integrated 
verification environments. 


PAPER SUBMISSION 

Papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the 
Program Committee. We are accepting both long (limited to 16 pages) 
and short (limited to 10 pages) paper submissions, written in English. 
Short submissions also cover Verification Pearls describing an 
elegant proof or proof technique.  Submitted research papers and 
system descriptions must be original and not submitted for publication 
elsewhere. 

Research paper submissions must be in LNCS format and must 
include a cogent and self-contained description of the ideas, methods, 
results, and comparison to existing work.  Submissions of theoretical, 
practical, and experimental contributions are equally encouraged, 
including those that focus on specific problems or problem domains. 

Papers should be submitted through: 

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vstte2014. 

Submissions that arrive late, are not in the proper format, or are too 
long will not be considered.  The post-conference proceedings of VSTTE 2014 will be 
published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series.  Authors of accepted 
papers will be requested to sign a form transferring copyright of 
their contribution to Springer-Verlag.  The use of LaTeX and the Springer 
LNCS class files, obtainable fromhttp://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html, 
is strongly encouraged. 

PUBLICATION 

Accepted  papers will be  published as post-Proceedings, to 
appear in Springer's Lectures Notes in Computer Science.
