Second Call for Papers

First International Workshop on
Verification and Program Transformation

July 13th and 14th, 2013, Saint Petersburg, Russia
Co-Located with the 25th International Conference on Computer Aided
Verification

http://refal.botik.ru/vpt/

The First International Workshop on Verification and Program Transformation
(VPT-2013) aims to bring together researchers working in two different
areas, Verification and Program Transformation. VPT 2013 will be a CAV 2013
Workshop and held on July 13th and 14th, 2013.

The workshop will provide a forum where all interactions of the two fields
can be presented and discussed.

It workshop will solicit research, position, applications and system
description papers with a special emphasis on case studies, demonstrating
viability of the interfaces between the two research fields in a broad
sense.

On the one hand presentations of the methods, techniques and tools developed
in program transformations and successfully applied for verification of
programs, systems and protocols specified by programs are welcomed.

In opposite direction, papers describing the approaches to strengthening and
optimization of program transformations by model checking, automated and
interactive theorem proving, SAT- and SMT-based methods are strongly
welcomed too.

The papers dealing with neighboring areas, such as testing and program
synthesis are welcomed as well.

Topics of interest for VPT 2013 include, but are not limited to:

* Verification by Program Transformation
* Verification Techniques in Program Transformation and Synthesis
* Verification and Certification of Programs Transformations
* Program Analysis and Transformation
* Program Testing and Transformation
* Case studies

Inivited Speakers:
Bernd Finkbeiner (Universitat des Saarlandes),
Jerome Leroux (ICNRS, LaBRI, Bordeaux),
Alberto Pettorossi (Universita di Roma Tor Vergata and
Istituto di Analisi dei Sistemi ed Informatica
"A. Ruberti")

already published work are accepted.

Regular and tool papers accepted for presentation at the workshop will
appear in the EasyChair Proceedings in Computing (EPiC) series; they must be
prepared in LaTeX using the EasyChair class style and submitted both as
LaTeX-source files and PDF files by 2nd April.

Submission accepted for presentation must be presented at the workshop by at
least one of the authors.

If the Workshop will attract sufficiently many high quality papers, a
special issue of a journal on the topic of the workshop will be considered.

Visa Support
is provided by the CAV 2013 organizers. Please, take into account, that the
preparation of the visa supporting letter (including its processing in the
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) might take 2 months and even more.
Thus, they need to start the preparation as soon as possible.

We kindly ask submission authors and potential participants to apply for a
