CALL FOR PARTICIPATION NSV 2017 ========= 10th International Workshop on Numerical Software Verification July 22-23, 2017 A workshop of CAV 2017 - Heidelberg, Germany This year NSV17 will be held alongside with the International Workshop on Formal Methods for Rigorous Systems Engineering of Cyber-Physical Systems (a one-time, invite-only event). Details can be found at Web Page: http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/conferences/NSV17 Description of the Workshop =========================== Numerical computations are ubiquitous in digital systems: monitoring, supervision, prediction, simulation and signal processing rely heavily on numerical calculus to achieve desired goals. Design and verification of numerical algorithms has a unique set of challenges, which set it apart from rest of software verification. To achieve the verification and validation of global system properties, numerical techniques need to precisely represent local behaviours of each component. The implementation of numerical techniques on modern hardware adds another layer of approximation because of the use of finite representations of infinite precision numbers that usually lack basic arithmetic properties, such as commutativity and associativity. Finally, the development and analysis of cyber-physical systems (CPS), which involve interacting continuous and discrete components pose a further challenge. It is hence imperative to develop logical and mathematical techniques for the reasoning about programmability and reliability. The NSV workshop is dedicated to the development of such techniques. Topics ======= The scope of the workshop includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics: - Quantitative and qualitative analysis of hybrid systems - Models and abstraction techniques - Optimal control of dynamical systems - Parameter identification for hybrid systems - Numerical optimisation methods - Hybrid and embedded systems verification - Applications of hybrid systems to systems biology - Propagation of uncertainties, deterministic and probabilistic models - Specifications of correctness for numerical programs - Formal specification and verification of numerical programs - Quality of finite precision implementations - Numerical properties of control software - Validation for space, avionics, automotive and real-time applications - Validation for scientific computing programs Invited Speakers ======== Kyoko Makino (Michigan State University) Nathalie Revol (ENS Lyon) Program (template) ======== Day 1 (July 22nd) ------------------ 8:45 - 9:00 Welcome 9:00 - 10:00 NSV Invited Seminar 1 10:00 - 1030 Coffee Break 10:30 - 12:00 NSV Session 1 12:00 - 13:30 Lunch 13:30 - 15:00 RISE4CPS Tutorial 1 15:00 - 15:30 Coffee Break 15:30 - 17:00 RISE4CPS Tutorial 2 Day 2 (July 23rd) ----------------- 9:00 - 10:00 NSV Invited Seminar 2 10:00 - 10:30 Coffee Break 10:30 - 12:00 NSV Session 2 12:00 - 13:30 Lunch 13:30 - 15:00 RISE4CPS Tutorial 3 15:00 - 15:30 Coffee Break 15:30 - 17:00 RISE4CPS Tutorial 4 Chairs ======= Sylvie Boldo (Inria, France) Alessandro Abate (U Oxford, UK) Program Committee ================== Stanley Bak (AFRL, USA) Sergiy Bogomolov (ANU, Australia) Olivier Bouissou (The Mathworks, France) Martin Brain (U Oxford, UK) Alexandre Chapoutot (ENSTA ParisTech, France) Pieter Collins (U Maastricht, NL) Lucas Cordeiro (U Amazonas, BR) Eva Darulova (MPI, DE) Georgios Fainekos (Arizon State University, USA) François Févotte (EDF, France) Susmit Jha (United Technologies Research Center, USA) Jim Kapinski (Toyota, USA) Matthieu Martel (Université de Perpignan, France) Guillaume Melquiond (Inria, France) Ian Mitchell (UBC, Canada) Sylvie Putot (École Polytechnique, France) Sriram Sankaranarayanan (UC Boulder) Walid Taha (Halmstadt University, Sweden) Alexander Wittig (ESA ESTEC, NL) Steering Committee ======= Sergiy Bogomolov (ANU, Australia) Radu Grosu (TU Vienna, Austria) Matthieu Martel (Université de Perpignan, France) Pavithra Prabhakar (Kansas State University, USA) Sriram Sankaranarayanan (UC Boulder, USA) Publicity Chair ======= Yassamine Seladji (U Tlemcen, AL) Webmaster ======= Viraj Brian Wijesuriya (U Oxford, UK)
