-- ABOUT VECoS --

The VECoS conference series focuses on the analysis of computer
and communication systems, where functional and extra-functional
properties are inter-related.  VECoS encourages the cross-fertil-
ization between the various formal verification and evaluation
approaches, methods and techniques, especially those developed
for concurrent and distributed hardware/software systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  * Abstraction techniques
  * Certification standards for real-time systems
  * Compositional verification
  * Correct-by-construction design
  * Dependability assessment techniques
  * Equivalence checking
  * Model-checking
  * Parameterized verification
  * Performance and robustness evaluation
  * Probabilistic verification
  * QoS evaluation, planning and deployment
  * RAMS (Reliability-Availability-Maintainability-Safety)
    assessment
  * Rigorous system design
  * Security protocols verification
  * Simulation techniques of discrete-event and hybrid systems
  * Supervisory control
  * Verification & validation of IoT
  * Verification & validation of safety-critical systems
  * Worst-case execution time analysis

Application areas of interest to VECoS include: adaptive systems,
communication protocols, computer-supported collaborative work
systems, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, high-performance
computing, internet of things, logistics systems, manufactoring
of the future, mixed criticality systems, mobile and wireless
networking, operations research, programming languages, real-time
and embedded operating systems, service-oriented systems,
telecommunication systems, ubiquitous systems, web services,
wireless sensor networks and workflow systems.

VECoS 2018 will be held in September 26-28 in Grenoble, France.


-- GENERAL INFORMATION ON SUBMISSIONS --

VECoS 2018 is soliciting two types of contributions: full and
short papers.  Full papers are allowed a maximum of 15 pages
(including bibliography), whereas short papers are allowed a
maximum of 6 pages (including bibliography).  Submitted papers
must be in English, presenting original work and not be submitted
for publication elsewhere.  Papers must be submitted
electronically in PDF format through EasyChair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vecos2018), using the
LNCS format.  Accepted (full and short) papers will appear in the
conference proceedings.  At least one author of each accepted
paper must attend the conference and present the paper. The
conference proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended
versions for a special issue of Innovations in Systems and
Software Engineering: A NASA Journal or of the International
Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems.

In addition to the full and short papers, VECoS invites posters
presenting work in progress.  Posters will not lead to a
publication in the proceedings.  The deadline fo submission of
posters is July 1, 2018.  Please submit a PDF file containing a
short description of the content of the poster (up to 2 pages in
LNCS format) using EasyChair.  These contributions will be judged
solely on the basis of their attractiveness to the conference.
