CfP: 18th International Conference on Reachability Problems (RP'24)

The 18th International Conference on Reachability Problems (RP'24) is being organised as a physical meeting by the Formal Methods in Systems Engineering Research Unit of the Faculty of Informatics at the TU Wien. 

The conference is 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
  • Hybrid dynamical systems
  • Logic and model checking
  • Verification of finite and infinite-state systems

Call for Papers 

Original research papers (up to 12 pages) and presentation-only contributions (short abstract), with clear relevance to reachability problems, are both encouraged.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • reachability problems in infinite-state systems
  • rewriting systems
  • dynamical and hybrid systems
  • reachability problems in logic and verification
  • 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.

Submissions should be prepared using the Springer LNCS guidelines and submitted via the link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rp24

Accepted original papers will be published in the Springer LNCS proceedings of RP'24. 

Abstracts of accepted presentation-only contributions will not be published in the Springer LNCS proceedings of RP'24. 

Paper Submission

Original research papers and presentation-only contributions,  with clear relevance to reachability problems, are both encouraged.

  • Original papers are extended abstracts of a full paper with at most 12 pages (excluding the bibliography and potential appendices), formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines. Accepted original papers will be published in the RP'24 conference proceedings. 
  • Presentation-only contributions are short abstracts based on a paper that is recently appeared (or is going to appear) in proceedings of another conference, or a paper that has not yet been submitted. Neither the abstract, nor its accompanying paper will be published in the RP'24 proceedings. Abstracts of presentation-only contributions submitted to RP'24 are of at most 2 pages (excluding the bibliography and potential appendices), formatted according to the Springer LNCS guidelines and summarizing the key ideas of the work to be presented. In case the abstract is  based on a paper that is recently appeared (or is going to appear) in proceedings of another conference, we ask authors to indicate that venue in their abstract submission to RP'24. 

Submissions in either categories should be made using EasyChair, via the link https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rp24

Each accepted paper/contribution is expected to presented at RP'24. At least one author of each accepted paper/contribution is expected to register to and attend RP'24.
