                           SynCoP 2023
8th International Workshop on the SYNthesis of COmplex Parameters

                     (ETAPS satellite event)

https://project.inria.fr/syncop23/
====================================================================

SynCoP (International Workshop on Parameterized Verification) aims at bringing
together researchers working on verification and parameter synthesis for
systems with discrete or continuous parameters, in which the parameters
influence the behavior of the system in ways that are complex and difficult to
predict. Such problems may arise for real-time, hybrid or probabilistic systems
in a large variety of application domains. The parameters can be continuous
(e.g., timing, probabilities, costs) or discrete (e.g., number of processes).
The goal can be to identify suitable parameters to achieve desired behavior, or
to verify the behavior for a given range of parameter values.

The workshop will take place on April 22-23, 2023, in Paris, France as a
satellite event of ETAPS.

   Decision Processes, networks of identical processes
 * specifications in automata and logic, term and graph rewriting, Petri nets,
   process algebra, etc.
 * validation methods via assertional and regular model checking, reachability
   and coverability decision procedures, abstractions, theorem proving,
   constraint solving,…
 * interactions between discrete and continuous parameters
 * tools and applications to hardware design, cache coherence protocols,
   security and communication protocols, multithreaded and concurrent programs,
   programs with relaxed memory models, mobile and distributed systems,
   database languages and systems, biological systems, etc.


=================
SUBMISSION
=================

SynCoP seeks short abstracts only.

Recently published works, ongoing works, or works under submission are welcome.

The page limit is 3 pages (excluding bibliography) single column.  All accepted
abstracts will be made available to the participants of SynCoP 2023 but they
will not result in referenced publications.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be required to give an informal presentation
during the workshop.

Submission will be made in English in PDF format with a simple email at syncop23@inria.fr
