The annual fall colloquium organized by the Computer Science
Laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique (LIX) will host Reachability
Problems RP'2009.

Reachability Problems RP'2009 will take place at Ecole Polytechnique
(on-site at Palaiseau, a suburb district of Paris).

Papers presenting
original contributions related to reachability problems in different
computational models and systems are being sought.

The Reachability Problems Workshop is specifically aimed at gathering
together scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds
interested in reachability problems that appear in
- Algebraic structures
- Computational models
- Hybrid systems
- Verification

Invited Speakers:
================
- Ahmed Bouajjani ( University of Paris 7 )
- Thomas A. Henzinger ( EPFL in Lausanne )
- Oded Maler ( VERIMAG )
- Alexander Shen ( CNRS Marseille )
- Moshe Y. Vardi ( Rice University )


Submissions:
============
Papers presenting original contributions related to
reachability problems in different computational models
and systems are being sought.

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 aspects of
algebraic structures (semigroups, groups and rings);
frontiers between decidable and undecidable problems;
predictability in iterative maps and new
computational paradigms.


Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper
with at most 12 pages formatted according to LNCS guidelines.
Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an
appendix to be read by the program committee members at their
discretion. Submissions deviating from these guidelines risk
rejection. Electronic submissions should be formatted in pdf.
Simultaneous submission to other conferences or workshops with
published proceedings is not allowed.

Proceedings
=============
The proceedings will be published in the Springer Verlag LNCS series
and distributed during the conference. Selected papers will be
invited to the special issue of a high quality journal devoted to RP
2009.

- Submission: April 23, 2009
- Notification: May 30, 2009
- Final version: June 15, 2009
