-- ABOUT VECoS --

The VECoS conference series focuses on the analysis of computer

and communication systems, where functional and extra-functional

properties are inter-related. VECoS encourages the cross-fertil-

ization between the various formal verification and evaluation

approaches, methods and techniques, especially those developed

for concurrent and distributed hardware/software systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Abstraction techniques

* Compositional verification

* Correct-by-construction design

* Rigorous system design

* Equivalence checking

* Model-checking

* Parameterized verification

* Performance and robustness evaluation

* Probabilistic verification

* QoS evaluation, planning and deployment

* Dependability assessment techniques

* RAMS (Reliability-Availability-Maintainability-Safety)

assessment

* Model-based Security assessment

* Security protocols verification

* Discrete-event and hybrid systems Modeling and Simulation

* Supervisory control

* Verification & validation of IoT

* Verification & validation of safety-critical systems

* Assessment for real-time systems

* Worst-case execution time analysis

Application areas of interest to VECoS include: adaptive systems,

communication protocols, computer-supported collaborative work

systems, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, high-performance

computing, internet of things, logistics systems, manufacturing

of the future, mixed criticality systems, mobile and wireless

networking, operations research, programming languages, real-time

and embedded operating systems, service-oriented systems,

telecommunication systems, ubiquitous systems, web services,

wireless sensor networks and workflow systems.
