Bangalore, India
https://conf.researchr.org/home/atva-2025
AIM AND SCOPE
ATVA 2025 is the 23rd in a series of symposia aimed at bringing together
academics, industrial researchers and practitioners in the area of
theoretical and practical aspects of automated analysis, synthesis, and
verification of hardware and software systems. ATVA solicits high
quality submissions in the following suggestive list of topics:
- Formalisms for modeling hardware, software and embedded systems
- Specification and verification of finite-state, infinite-state and
parameterized systems
- Program analysis and software verification
- Analysis and verification of hardware circuits, systems-on-chip
and embedded systems
- Analysis of real-time, hybrid, priced, weighted and probabilistic
systems
- Deductive, algorithmic, compositional, and abstraction/refinement
techniques for analysis and verification
- Analytical techniques for safety, security, and dependability
- Testing and runtime analysis based on verification technology
- Analysis and verification of parallel and concurrent systems
- Verification in industrial practice
- Synthesis for hardware and software systems
- Applications and case studies of verification
- Automated tool support for verification
- Testing and verification of neural networks
- Testing and verification of autonomous systems

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>25>.
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.
