The 19th International Conference on Runtime Verification
RV 2019
- URL: https://www.react.uni-saarland.de/rv2019
- Event Date: 2019-10-08 ~ 2019-10-11
- Submission Date: 2019-05-21
- Location: Porto, Portugal
Scope
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 for monitoring
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
metrics and statistical information gathering
program/system execution visualization
fault localization, containment, recovery and repair
dynamic type checking
Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical systems, safety/mission critical systems, enterprise and systems software, cloud systems, autonomous and reactive control systems, health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and privacy.
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=rv19
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 2019 to present.
Papers
There are four categories of papers which can be submitted: regular, short, tool demo, and benchmark 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.
Benchmark papersfiber_new (up to 10 pages, not including references) We are excited to invite a new kind of RV paper: Benchmark papers should describe a benchmark, suite of benchmarks, or benchmark generator useful for evaluating RV tools. Papers will should include information as to what the benchmark consists of and its purpose (what is the domain), how to obtain and use the benchmark, an argument for the usefulness of the benchmark to the broader RV community, and may include any existing results produced using the benchmark. We are interested in both benchmarks pertaining to real-world scenarios and those containing synthetic data designed to achieve interesting properties. Broader definitions of benchmark e.g. for generating specifications from data or diagnosing faults are within scope. Finally, we encourage but do not require benchmarks that are tool agnostic (especially those that have been used to evaluate multiple tools), labelled benchmarks with rigorous arguments for correctness of labels, and benchmarks that are demonstrably challenging with respect to the state-of-the-art tools. Benchmark papers must be accompanied by an easily accessible and usable benchmark submission. Papers will be evaluated by a separate benchmark evaluation panel who will asses the benchmarks relevance, clarity, and utility as communicated by the submitted paper.
The Program Committee of RV 2019 will give a best paper award, and a selection of accepted regular papers will be invited to appear in a special journal issue.
Tutorial track
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. A proposal for a tutorial must contain the subject of the tutorial, a proposed timeline, a note on previous similar tutorials (if applicable) and the differences to this incarnation, and a biography of the presenter. The proposal must not exceed 2 pages. Tutorial proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee.
