Abstract

TACAS is a forum for researchers, developers and users interested in rigorously based tools and algorithms for the construction and analysis of systems&#046; The conference serves to bridge the gaps between different communities that share common interests in, and techniques for, tool development and its algorithmic foundations&#046; The research areas covered by such communities include but are not limited to formal methods, software and hardware verification, static analysis, programming languages, software engineering, real&#8211;time systems, communications protocols, and biological systems&#046; The TACAS forum provides a venue for such communities at which common problems, heuristics, algorithms, data structures and methodologies can be discussed and explored&#046; In doing so, TACAS aims to support researchers in their quest to improve the utility, reliability, flexibility and efficiency of tools and algorithms for building systems&#046;<br>Tool descriptions and case studies with a conceptual message, as well as theoretical papers with clear relevance for tool construction are all encouraged&#046; The specific topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the following:<br>Specification and verification techniques for finite and infinite&#8211;state systems;<br>Software and hardware verification;<br>Theorem&#8211;proving and model&#8211;checking;<br>System construction and transformation techniques,<br>Static and run&#8211;time analysis;<br>Abstraction techniques for modeling and validation;<br>Compositional and refinement&#8211;based methodologies;<br>Testing and test&#8211;case generation;<br>Analytical techniques for safety, security, or dependability;<br>Analytical techniques for real&#8211;time, hybrid, or stochastic systems;<br>Integration of formal methods and static analysis in high&#8211;level hardware design or software environments;<br>Tool environments and tool architectures;<br>SAT and SMT solvers;<br>Applications and case studies&#046;<br>Important dates and submission<br>
