CALL FOR PAPERS - ATVA 2022
--------------------------------------------

The 20th International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis (ATVA 2022), 25 - 28 Oct 2022, Beijing, China.

Considering the coronavirus situation in the world, the organizers of ATVA 2022 finally decide that ATVA 2022 will be a purely virtual event.

* Decision procedures and solvers for verification and synthesis
* Deductive, algorithmic, compositional, and abstraction/refinement techniques for analysis and verification
* Program analysis and software verification
* Analysis and verification of hardware circuits and systems-on-chip
* Analysis and verification of parallel and concurrent systems
* Analysis of probabilistic and cyber-physical systems
* Analysis and verification of machine learning algorithms and systems
* Formal models and methods for security and privacy
* Formal models and methods for biological systems
* Testing and runtime analysis based on verification technology
* Synthesis for hardware and software systems
* Applications and case studies
* Verification in industrial practice

------------------------------
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 the 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,
http://www.icdht.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Springer_Guidelines_for_Authors_of_Proceedings.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.
