Submission of papers/extended abstracts: April 30, 2014
Notification of acceptance or rejection: May 10, 2014
Final version due: May 20, 2014
Seminar taking place: July 17-18, 2014

Overview

PAS 2014 will provide a forum for researchers and software developers actively involved or interested in developing, using, and applying methods and software tools of symbolic computation for program verification and automated debugging to exchange ideas and views, to review the state of the art and discuss prospects, to present research results and experiments, and to build up contacts for future cooperation. The scientific program of the seminar will feature invited talks and contributed presentations.

Specific topics for PAS 2014 include (but are not limited to):

  • Theories and methodologies for program verification and testing
  • Model checking, fault locating and program repairing
  • Symbolic computation and automated reasoning for program verification
  • Termination, correctness and complexity analysis of programs
  • Automated program synthesis and transformation
  • Logic and semantics for automated and algorithmic debugging
  • Program debugging paradigms and techniques
  • Symbolic constraint solving for verification and debugging
  • Tools, prototypes, empirical and case studies

The previous two seminars PAS 2012 and PAS 2013 were held in Beijing, China. PAS 2014 is part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) and the Vienna Summer of Logic.

Invited Speakers

Bruno Buchberger (Johannes Kepler University, Austria)
Hoon Hong (North Carolina State University, USA)
Michaël Rusinowitch (LORIA-INRIA-Lorraine, France)
Viorica Sofronie-Stokkermans (University Koblenz-Landau, Germany)

Submission

Potential participants of PAS 2014 are invited to submit extended abstracts (2-4 pages) or full papers describing their work to be presented at the seminar. The submitted extended abstracts and full papers will be reviewed by the organizers for soundness and relevance to the seminar. Submission of original research papers is encouraged, while published material and work in progress will also be considered for presentation at the seminar. Electronic submissions are strongly preferred using EasyChair:

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pas2014

Accepted extended abstracts and full papers will be distributed at the seminar. Authors of the extended abstracts and full papers accepted for presentation at the seminar may be invited to submit their full and/or revised papers for publication in a post-proceedings volume or a journal special issue after the meeting. The submitted papers will be formally reviewed by external referees according to the standard refereeing procedure.
