7th Working Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments

The Seventh Working Conference on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments follows a successful inaugural working conference at Zurich in 2005 followed by conferences in Toronto (2008), Edinburgh (2010), Philadelphia (2012), Atherton (2013) and Vienna (2014). The goal of this conference is to advance the state of the art in the science and technology of software verification, through the interaction of theory development, tool evolution, and experimental validation.

We welcome submissions describing significant advances in the production of verified software, i.e., software that has been proved to meet its functional specifications. We are especially interested in submissions describing large-scale verification efforts that involve collaboration, theory unification, tool integration, and formalized domain knowledge. We welcome papers describing novel experiments and case studies evaluating verification techniques and technologies. Topics of interest include education, requirements modeling, specification languages, specification/verification case-studies, formal calculi, software design methods, automatic code generation, refinement methodologies, compositional analysis, verification tools (e.g., static analysis, dynamic analysis, model checking, theorem proving, satisfiability), tool integration, benchmarks, challenge problems, and integrated verification environments.
