The symposium specifically focuses on concurrent software but does not exclude the analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel algorithms (classical and quantum), tool development for modern hardware (parallel and distributed), and empirical evaluation.

Topics

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Formal verification techniques for automated analysis of software
    Formal analysis for modeling languages, such as UML/state charts
    Formal specification languages, temporal logic, design-by-contract
    Model checking
    Automated theorem proving, including SAT and SMT
    Verifying compilers
    Abstraction and symbolic execution techniques
    Static analysis and abstract interpretation
    Combination of verification techniques
    Modular and compositional verification techniques
    Verification of timed and probabilistic systems
    Automated testing using advanced analysis techniques
    Combination of static and dynamic analyses
    Derivation of specifications, test cases, or other useful material via formal analysis
    Case studies of interesting systems or with interesting results
    Engineering and implementation of software verification and analysis tools
    Benchmark and comparative studies for formal verification and analysis tools
    Formal methods of education and training
    Insightful surveys or historical accounts on topics of relevance to the symposium
    Relevant tools and algorithms for modern hardware, e.g.: parallel, GPU, TPU, cloud, and quantum
