Appel aux résumés (25 juin) : workshop "CP meets Verification" à CP 2014

CONSTRAINT PROGRAMMING MEETS VERIFICATION 2014
(http://cp2014.a4cp.org/workshops/cpcav14)

This one-day workshop will be held at CP 2014, the 20th International
Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming
(http://cp2014.a4cp.org), on Monday 8 September 2014 in Lyon, France.

THEME

This workshop gathers researchers and practitioners from constraint
programming (CP), formal verification, and software engineering, in
order to address the CP-based solving of challenging constraint
problems in formal verification and software engineering. Solvers of
CP technology are orthogonal but complementary to solvers of
technologies like SAT, SAT modulo theories (SMT), integer programming
(IP), and mixed integer programming (MIP).

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of this workshop are:

+ The delegates with a non-CP background present challenging
constraint problems in formal verification and software engineering,
as well as current solution approaches (whether ad hoc or based on
SAT, SMT, IP, or MIP technology), towards investigation using a
(hybrid with a) CP solver.

+ The delegates with a CP background present either CP solvers or how
they have successfully used CP technology for challenging constraint
problems in formal verification and software engineering.

+ All delegates, whether presenters or not, discuss synergy
opportunities as well as challenges in formal verification, software
engineering, and the underlying constraint solving tools.

The first edition of this workshop was a one-week seminar in 2012:

FORM

This is a CALL FOR ABSTRACTS, not a call for papers. Abstracts of at
most one page, in text or PDF form, are to be emailed by the deadline
below. If anything is unclear about this call, then write to
cpcav14@gmail.com . The talks most compliant with the workshop theme
and objectives above will be selected for presentation in a full-day
workshop. There will be no papers and no proceedings, but the slides
of the presentations will be archived on this website.

All researchers and practitioners within the scope of the workshop are
invited to attend, whether as presenters or not, so as to stimulate
good discussions.

Depending on the success of the workshop, a special issue at a journal
will be arranged (details to be announced).

The participation cost is the workshop fee of the CP 2014 conference
(it is not determined yet, but will be very low).

SPONSORSHIP

This workshop is sponsored by the Certus Centre for Software
Verification & Validation at the SIMULA Research Laboratory, Norway.
