RP 2023: Call For Papers

11-13 October 2023 Nice, France
--------------------------------------------------

The 17th International Conference on Reachability Problems (RP'23)
will be organised by the laboratory I3S (Université Côte d'Azur, CNRS) and LIX (Ecole Polytechnique, CNRS).


In 2020 and 2021 the conference was virtual due to COVID restrictions.
As in 2022, this year RP will be organised as a physical meeting in Nice,
offering a possibility to authors with travel restrictions to give online presentations.

Papers presenting original contributions related to reachability
problems in different computational models and systems are being
sought. This will also be the occasion to review recent breakthroughs
by renowned invited experts and survey emerging trends and emphasise
on key open challenges. Participants are kindly encouraged to discuss
core scientific issues that need to be further tackled.

The conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture
Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). A selection of articles among the
contributed papers will be invited to a special issue of a journal
(TBA).

!! TOPICS

The conference is specifically aimed at gathering together scholars
from diverse disciplines and backgrounds interested in reachability
problems that appear in

* Algebraic structures
* Automata theory and formal languages
* Computational game theory
* Concurrency and distributed computation
* Decision procedures in computational models
* Graphs and dynamical networks
* Hybrid dynamical systems
* Logic and model checking
* Verification of finite and infinite-state systems

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* - reachability problems in infinite-state systems,
* - rewriting systems, dynamical and hybrid systems;
* - reachability problems in computational games and distributed
systems;
* - reachability problems in dynamical networks,
* - reachability problems in logic and verification;
* - reachability problems in formal methods;
* - reachability analysis in different computational models,
counter timed/ cellular/ communicating automata;
* - Petri nets; computational and combinatorial aspects of algebraic
structures (semigroups, groups and rings);
* - frontiers between decidable and undecidable reachability problems;
* - predictability in iterative maps and new computational paradigms.

volume, we invite researchers to submit a paper which recently
appeared (or which is going to appear) in proceedings of another
conference, or which has not yet been submitted. Neither the paper nor
the abstract will be published in the proceedings.
