2nd International Workshop on
Applied Verification for Continuous and Hybrid Systems
Cyber-Physical Systems Week (CPSWeek) 2015, Seattle, WA, USA
April 13, 2015
http://cps-vo.org/group/ARCH
--------------------

The workshop on applied verification for continuous and hybrid systems
(ARCH) brings together researchers and practitioners, and establishes a
curated set of benchmarks submitted by academia and industry. It addresses
verification techniques for continuous and hybrid systems with a special
focus on the transfer from theory to practice. Topics include, but are not
limited to:
- Proposals for new benchmark problems (not necessarily yet solvable)
- Tool presentations
- Tool executions and evaluations based on ARCH benchmarks
- Experience reports including open issues for industrial success

Researchers are welcome to submit examples, tools and benchmarks that have
already appeared in brief form, but whose details were omitted. The online
benchmark repository allows researchers to include modeling details,
parameters, simulation results, etc. Submissions are encouraged, but not
required, to include executable data (models, configuration files, code
etc.). It is not required to show that the benchmark has a solution; it
suffices that the problem is described in enough detail that somebody else
can try to solve it.

General Submission Guidelines
-----------------------------
Submissions consist of an extended abstract of 3-8 pages (pdf) and
optional files (e.g. models or traces) submitted through the ARCH'15
EasyChair web site. The extended abstract should be classified in its
title as benchmark proposal, tool presentation, benchmark results, or
experience report. Submissions receive at least 3 anonymous reviews,
including one from industry and one from academia. For details, see the
guidelines and forums at http://cps-vo.org/group/ARCH

Important Dates
---------------
Submission deadline March 14, 2015 (extended from February 12, 2015)
Notification of acceptance March 24, 2015
Final version March 31, 2015

Prize
-----
The paper with the most promising benchmark results receives a prize of

preselected by the program committee and determined by an audience
voting.
