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

Important Dates:
Submission deadline: June 6, 2008, 12pm CET (extended)
Notification: July 4, 2008 (extended)
Final version: July 14, 2008 (extended)
Workshop: August 23, 2008

Paper submission:
Authors are invited to submit an original contribution presenting unpublished work in the areas relevant for the scope of INFINITY. The submissions will be evaluated by the program committee and accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. 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 ENTCS format and should not exceed 10 pages.

There are two ways to submit a paper:

  • The prefered way is by web through EasyChair. To submit, please login via http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=infinity2008.

  • If you have problems submitting using the above method, mail your paper in PDF/PS format to vojnar at fit.vutbr.cz and haberm at liafa.jussieu.fr.

    • Proceedings:
    Pre-proceedings of INFINITY 2008 will be available at the workshop in a printed form. Final versions of the papers will appear in a volume of Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science.
