- Author notification: June 25, 2025
For accepted regular papers:
- Artifact submission: June 28, 2025
- Author notification: July 21, 2025
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
ATVA welcomes submissions in the following two categories:
- Regular research papers (18 pages, excluding references, must be anonymized)
- Tool papers (10 pages, excluding references, not anonymized)
Submissions authored or co-authored by members of the program committee are allowed and encouraged.
Papers must be submitted through EasyChair<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=atva2025>.
Submissions in both categories must be in Springer's LNCS format. Accepted papers in both categories will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A few outstanding papers will be selected for a distinguished paper award. At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register and present the paper at the conference.
REGULAR PAPERS
Regular papers should not exceed 18 pages in Springer’s LNCS format, not counting references and appendices. Additional material may be placed in an appendix, to be read at the discretion of the reviewers, and to be omitted in the final version.
Regular papers at ATVA 2025 will follow a full *double-blind* review process, which means that author names and affiliations must be omitted from the submission. Additionally, if a submission refers to prior work done by the authors, the reference should be made in the third person. These are firm submission requirements, and any regular paper that does not conform to these requirements will be rejected without review.
Authors of accepted regular papers will be invited (but are not required) to submit a relevant artifact for evaluation by the artifact evaluation committee. The submission deadline for this artifact evaluation will be soon after the paper acceptance notification. Independent of the artifact evaluation process, research paper authors are encouraged to include a URL to a repository in their original submission, if such a repository is available and is pertinent to the paper. This repository could contain code, datasets, results, etc. This would be for the consideration of the PC reviewers of the submission, at their discretion. If such a URL is included in the submission, the contents of the repository should adhere to the guidelines of a double-blind review process. The review process will include a rebuttal period where the authors will have the option to respond to reviewer comments. An artifact evaluation will be undertaken, which will be optional for regular papers and mandatory for tool papers.
TOOL PAPERS
Tool papers should not exceed 10 pages in Springer’s LNCS format, not counting references. Tool papers will follow a single-blind review process. They do NOT need to be anonymized. Tool paper submissions MUST include a URL to an archival site from where the tool can be downloaded or accessed online for evaluation by the artifact evaluation committee. The site must also contain a set of examples, and a user manual that describes usage of the tool through examples. If the tool needs to be downloaded and installed, the site must contain instructions for installing the tool on Linux, Windows or MacOS. Packing the artifact as a Docker container is recommended. Papers describing tools that have already been presented (in any conference) will be accepted only if significant and clear enhancements to the tool are reported and implemented.
Acceptance of tool paper submissions is contingent on successful artifact evaluation at the “functional” level. In special cases, where an artifact cannot be submitted, the authors should contact the Artifact Evaluation chairs to find alternate modes of artifact evaluation. More details about artifact evaluation can be found on the conference web site.

Dear all,
The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given
by Nikhil Swamy, a researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond. The talk is
scheduled on Tuesday, April 8, at 1900 hrs IST (add to Google calendar
<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=Mm5wcm80ZW…>
).
The details of the talk can be found on our webpage (
https://fmindia.cmi.ac.in/vss/), and also appended to the body of this
email.
The Verification Seminar Series, an initiative by the Indian Association
for Research in Computing Science (IARCS), is a monthly, online
talk-series, broadly in the area of Formal Methods and Programming
Languages, with applications in Verification and Synthesis. The aim of this
talk-series is to provide a platform for Formal Methods researchers to
interact regularly. In addition, we hope that it will make it easier for
researchers to explore newer problems/areas and collaborate on them, and
for younger researchers to start working in these areas.
All are welcome to join.
Best regards,
Akash, Deepak, Madhukar, Srivathsan

Title: Pulse: Proof-oriented Programming with Concurrent Separation Logic
in F*
Meeting Link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09
(Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194)
Abstract:
F* is a dependently typed programming language. It has been used to develop
more than a million lines of verified code and proofs, for artifacts
ranging from cryptographic libraries to networking components. Some of this
verified software runs in widely used production systems, ranging from the
Windows kernel to the Python standard library. However, most of this corpus
of verified code is purely sequential.
Pulse is a new extension of F* enabling programming and proving imperative
programs with shared-memory concurrency. Proofs in Pulse are conducted in a
new program logic called PulseCore, a concurrent separation logic with
state-of-the-art features, including higher-order ghost state and
impredicative invariants, backed by a foundational semantics developed
within F* itself. Programs are verified in Pulse using a custom checker
with a combination of tactics and SMT solving. Once proven, programs in
Pulse can be extracted to OCaml, C, or Rust, depending on the libraries and
features used.
Pulse is being used in a number of new projects, including in the
development of verified firmware, in new libraries for secure data
formatting, and for verified CPU/GPU programs.
I will provide some background on F* and concurrent separation logic, and
then introduce Pulse by way of examples and a tool demonstration.
Bio: Nikhil Swamy is a researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond, working
in the Research in Software Engineering (RiSE) group. He is interested in
type systems, program logics, functional programming, program verification
and interactive theorem proving, and also in the use of these techniques to
build provably secure programs, including web applications, web browsers,
crypto protocol implementations, and low-level systems code.

The DLMPST Commission on Logic Education
https://dlmps.org/pages/commissions.php
invites you to a webinar on logic education
by Professor Maria Manzano.
Date: Apr 8, 2025
Time: 1000 EST, 1200 GMT, 1400 CET, 1930 IST, 2200 (Beijing)
Zoom link:
https://cmi-ac-in.zoom.us/j/89497108451?pwd=rLl7QvAfnfJHTxp5h6ZVoZzyGuvNQQ.1
Meeting ID: 894 9710 8451
Passcode: udayana
Talk details:
Tools for teaching logic
Maria Manzano
Salamanca, Spain
I will tell you about the European ALFA project on Tools for Teaching
Logic that we had
last century and about the International TTL Congresses that we held in
2000, 2006, 2011,
2015, and 2023.
The first goal of the ALFA project was to share our experience as
teachers among Aracne
members. We proposed: (1) the preparation of a metabook (with hypertext
version), (2) the
design of an on-line dictionary of logic terms, (3) the investigation of the
existing software
for the teaching of logic, (4) the translation of both elementary and
interdisciplinary texts
and software, (5) to help potential authors to write lecture notes, (6) the
dissemination of
our project both within our academic community and outside it (high school),
thus
bolstering a good image of Logic and (7) to support women’s participation in
higher
education.
The network we created was interdisciplinary and included professors and
researchers from
philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. Some of the
results of the
project can be consulted on the Aracne website (aracne.usal.es.) and others
in the
Summa Logicae digital library (logicae.usal.es)
Speaker Bio:
María Gracia Manzano Arjona is a Spanish philosopher specializing in
mathematical logic
and model theory.
Manzano earned her Ph.D. in 1977 from the University of Barcelona. Her
dissertation,
Sistemas generales de la lógica de segundo orden [General systems of
second-order logic],
was supervised by Jesús Mosterín. She is a professor of logic and the
philosophy of science
at the University of Salamanca.
She is the author of several books on logic and model theory.
