Scope

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-fertilization 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
• Assessment for real-time systems
• AI & Formal methods
• Compositional verification
• Correct-by-construction design
• Data-driven testing
• Dependability assessment techniques
• Discrete-event and hybrid systems Modeling and Simulation
• Equivalence checking
• Model-based Security assessment
• 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
• Supervisory control
• Verification & validation of IoT
• Verification & validation of safety-critical systems
• Worst-case execution time analysis
