16th International Conference on Verification and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems

18-20 October 2023, Marrakech, Morocco

Background

VECoS 2023 is planned as a physical, in-person event to be held October 18-20, 2023 in Marrakech, Morocco. VECoS 2023 will take place at the Faculty of Science and Technology Gueliz, Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech 
However, in a limited number of cases, there will be remote participation support for speakers and other participants who cannot come for a number of reasons.

The International Conference on Verification and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems (VECoS) was created by an Euro-Med network of researchers in computer science. Its first edition VECoS 2007 took place in Algiers, VECoS 2008 in Leeds, VECoS 2009 in Rabat, VECoS 2010 in Paris, VECoS 2011 in Tunis, VECoS 2012 in Paris, VECoS 2013 in Florence, VECoS 2014 in Bejaia, VECoS 2015 in Bucharest, VECoS 2016 in Tunis, VECoS 2017 in Montreal, VECoS 2018 in Grenoble, VECoS 2019 in Porto, VECoS 2020 in Xi'an and VECoS 2021 as a virtual conference due to COVID'19.

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
  • 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
