REACHABILITY PROBLEMS 2014
-------------------------------------------------
The 8th International Workshop on Reachability Problems (RP2014)
(22 - 24 September 2013, University of Oxford, United Kingdom)
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/RP2014/
The Department of Computer Science will organize the 8th International Workshop
on Reachability Problems (RP'2014). This event will take place at the
Department in the centre of Oxford, 22 - 24 September 2014.
Papers presenting original contributions related to reachability problems in
different computational models and systems are being sought. This will also be
the occasion to review recent breakthroughs by renown invited experts and
survey emerging trends and emphasize on key open challenges. Participants are
kindly encouraged to discuss on core scientific issues that need to be further
tackled.
The Reachability 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
- Logic and Verification
Invited Speakers:
- Byron Cook, UCL and Microsoft Research, UK.
- Kousha Etessami, University of Edinburgh, UK.
- Anca Muscholl, LaBRI Bordeaux, France.
- Sylvain Schmitz, LSV and ENS-Cachan, France.
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 for infinite
state systems, rewriting systems; Reachability analysis in counter/ timed/
cellular/ communicating automata; Petri-Nets; computational aspects of
semigroups, groups and rings; Reachability in dynamical and hybrid systems;
frontiers between decidable and undecidable reachability problems; complexity
and decidability aspects; predictability in iterative maps and new
computational paradigms
Authors are invited to submit a draft of a full paper with at most 12 pages (in
LaTeX, formatted according to LNCS guidelines) via the conference web page.
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.
Important Dates
- Submission deadline: 4 June 2014
- Notification to authors: 4 July 2014
- Final version: 14 July 2014
- Workshop: 22 - 24 September 2014
Presentation-Only Track
In addition to regular papers that will appear in our LNCS proceedings, we
invite researchers to apply to give a presentation at RP 2014 without an
accompanying paper. Such presentations can be based on work that has appeared
(or which is going to appear) in the proceedings of another conference, or
which has not yet been submitted. These contributions will be judged solely on
the basis of their attractiveness to the workshop.
To apply to give such a presentation please submit a PDF file containing a
short abstract (up to two pages) by e-mail [ rp2014@easychair.org ] by August
4th 2014, with subject "RP2014 Presentation-Only Track". This abstract will
not be published in the conference proceedings.
Notification for the presentation-only track will be August 11th 2014.
Proceedings
The Conference Proceedings will be published as the volume of the Springer
Verlag LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) series and distributed at the
Conference. We plan also to publish selected papers in a special issue of a
high quality journal following the regular referee procedure.
