Workshop on Adaptable Cloud Architectures - WACA @ DisCoTec - Call for Papers
by Giuseppe De Palma 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

Workshop on Adaptable Cloud Architectures (WACA) Co-located with DisCoTec 2025 June 20, 2025 - Lille, France The Workshop on Adaptable Cloud Architectures (WACA) is soliciting the submission of contributions on Cloud architecture adaptation. WACA aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore and compare different approaches to architectural adaptation in Cloud systems. The workshop focuses on adaptive strategies that extend beyond traditional scaling mechanisms, investigating architectural modifications in response to: - evolving user requirements; - service load fluctuations (including both legitimate traffic increases and security threats); - infrastructure failures (machine outages, external service disruptions, etc.). To facilitate meaningful comparisons between different approaches, we provide a reference case study based on an adaptable version of TeaStore. This common ground enables participants to demonstrate their methods and technologies in a comparable environment. We invite submissions addressing, but not limited to: - Modeling approaches for adaptive Cloud architectures - Implementation techniques for adaptation mechanisms - Runtime verification of adaptation properties - Performance analysis of adaptation strategies - Security considerations in architectural adaptation - Tools and frameworks supporting Cloud architecture adaptation Papers should present contributions related to the workshop themes, preferably demonstrated through the provided case study scenarios. We strongly encourage submissions to include supporting artifacts that complement the paper's contributions. Detailed submission instructions are available on the workshop website https://waca-ws.github.io/2025 The workshop itself does not have proceedings, but we will invite contributors to refine their work for the publication of the workshop post-proceedings that will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS). Important Dates - Paper Submission Deadline: April 28, 2025 - Author Notification: May 16, 2025 - Workshop Date: June 20, 2025 Program Committee (to be finalised) Marco Autili Simon Bliudze Laura Bocchi Hélène Coullon Ivan Lanese Philippe Merle Sergio Mover Stefan Nastic Clèment Quinton Larisa Safina Gwen Salaün Jacopo Soldani Emilio Tuosto Gianluigi Zavattaro Brice Arléon Zemtsop Ndadji

SPIN: Final Call for Papers
by Rozier, Kristin-Yvonne [AER E] 07 Feb '25

07 Feb '25

********************************************************** SPIN 31st International Symposium on Model Checking Software https://spin-web.github.io/SPIN2025/ 7 - 8 May 2025 co-located with ETAPS 2025, Hamilton, Canada ********************************************************* Theme of the Symposium: ----------------------- The SPIN symposium aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in automated tool-based techniques for the analysis of software as well as models of software, for the purpose of verification and validation. The symposium specifically focuses on concurrent software but does not exclude the analysis of sequential software. Submissions are solicited on theoretical results, novel algorithms, tool development, and empirical evaluation. The SPIN symposium originated as a workshop focusing on explicit state model checking, specifically as related to the SPIN model checker. However, over the years it has evolved to a broadly-scoped symposium for software analysis using any automated techniques, including model checking, automated theorem proving, and symbolic execution. An overview of the previous SPIN symposia (and early workshops) can be found at: https://spinroot.com/spin/Workshops/. Topics of Interest: ------------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Formal verification techniques for automated analysis of (concurrent) software/hardware, including: -- Model checking -- Deductive verification -- Automated theorem proving, including SAT and SMT -- Abstraction and symbolic execution techniques -- Static analysis and abstract interpretation -- Modular and compositional verification techniques -- Verification of timed and probabilistic systems -- Automated testing using advanced analysis techniques -- Program synthesis -- Derivation of specifications, test cases etc. via formal analysis -- Formal specification languages, temporal logic, design-by-contract -- Formal analysis of learned systems -- Any combination of the above * Application and/or engineering of verification tools, including: -- Case studies of interesting systems or with interesting results -- Implementation of novel verification tools -- Benchmarks and comparative studies for verification tools -- Verification tools using modern hardware, e.g.: multi-core CPU, GPU, TPU, cloud, and quantum Important Dates: ---------------- Paper Submission: 13 Feb 2025 Artifact Submission (Tool Papers): 27 Feb 2025 Paper/Artifact Notifications: 24 Mar 2025 Artifact Submission (Other Papers): 7 Apr 2025 Non-tool Paper Artifact Notification: 1 May 2025 Symposium: 7-8 May 2025 Submission Details: ------------------- We are soliciting three categories of papers: * Full Research Papers describing fully developed work and complete results (16 pages, excluding bibliography and appendices); * Full Tool Papers, accompanied by a *Mandatory Artifact*, describing work that is closely-related to the development or the evaluation of a verification tool or similar (16 pages, excluding bibliography and appendices); * Short Papers presenting tools, technology, experiences with lessons learned, new ideas, work in progress with preliminary results, and novel contributions to formal methods (6 pages, excluding bibliography and appendices). Note: Artifact evaluation is optional for short papers but highly recommended for those with a focus on tools. If you want to have the accompanying artifact of your short paper evaluated, please submit it to the mandatory AE on February 27. Papers submission website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spin2025 -- in the track Research Papers, select the respective paper category. All papers that conform to submission guidelines will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee. Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of originality, the importance of contribution, soundness, evaluation, quality of presentation, and appropriate comparison to related work. The proceedings of SPIN 2025 will be published as part of post-conference proceedings in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Submissions should adhere to the LNCS format; see https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…. Please take into account Springer’s Book authors code of conduct when preparing submissions: https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/book-authors-code-of-conduct. Artifact Evaluation: -------------------- SPIN 2025 will feature artifact evaluation, performed by an Artifact Evaluation Committee (AEC). The AEC evaluates artifacts based on documentation, availability, reproducibility of results, and tool reusability (if applicable). Artifact submission is mandatory for Full Tool Papers. While artifact submission is optional for papers in other categories, we highly encourage authors of papers involving tool development and empirical evaluation to submit an artifact for evaluation. Papers with an accompanying artifact may be awarded one or more badges from the EAPLS artifact badging scheme (https://eapls.org/pages/artifact_badges/).
