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.

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.

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, 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.
