Aim:
The aim of the INFINITY workshop is to provide a forum for researchers interested in the development of formal methods and algorithmic techniques for the analysis of systems with infinitely many states, and their application in automated verification of complex software and hardware systems.

Topics:
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Infinite-state models of software/hardware systems
  • Abstraction techniques for infinite-state systems
  • Symbolic analysis techniques and data structures for representing infinite state spaces
  • Model-checking, static analysis, abstract interpretation, preorder/equivalence-checking, and control synthesis for infinite-state systems
  • Parameterized networks of parallel processes, dynamic networks, mobile systems
  • Systems with unbounded dynamic data and control structures
    (recursion, dynamic instantiation of processes, dynamic linked data structures, unbounded communication channels, web services, infinite data domains)
  • Probabilistic and timed systems
  • Games in modeling and verification of infinite-state systems
  • Verification techniques for security properties, cryptographic protocols
  • Verification techniques for systems biology

Important Dates:
Submission deadline (extended): July 19, 2013 (AOE)
Notification: August 16 August 23, 2013
Final version: August 30 September 20, 2013
Workshop: October 14, 2013

Paper submission:
There are two types of submissions. First, regular papers will be thoroughly evaluated by the programme committee and accepted submissions will be published in the proceedings. Authors are invited to submit an original contribution presenting unpublished work in the relevant areas. By submitting you agree that, in case of acceptance, at least one (co-)author will register and present the paper at the workshop. Contributions should be typeset in the EPTCS format and should not exceed 15 pages. Second, presentations are reports on recent (or ongoing) work. It is possible to submit a paper which recently appeared (or which is going to appear) in proceedings of another conference, or which has not yet been submitted. Neither the paper nor the abstract will be published in the proceedings. These contributions will be judged solely on the basis of their attractiveness to the workshop. Authors are invited to submit a one-page abstract. Both kind of papers should be submitted through EasyChair by following the link http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=infinity2013.

Proceedings:
Pre-proceedings of INFINITY 2013 will be available at the workshop in a printed form. Final versions of the papers will appear in a volume of Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science.
