INTRODUCTION

============



ATVA 2007 is the fifth in the series of symposia on Automated

Technology for Verification and Analysis. The purpose of ATVA is to

promote research on theoretical and practical aspects of automated

analysis, verification and synthesis in East Asia by providing a forum

for interaction between the regional and the international research

communities and industry in the field. The first three ATVA symposia

were held in 2003, 2004 and 2005 in Taipei, and ATVA 2006 was held in

Beijing.



The Proceedings of ATVA 2007 will be published by Springer as a volume

in the LNCS series. Submissions reporting original contributions are

solicited in all areas of automated verification and analysis.  Please

visit the ATVA 2007 Web site for details not found in this CFP.



SCOPE

=====



The scope of interest is intentionally kept broad; it includes :



   - Theory useful for providing designers with automated support for

obtaining correct software or hardware systems, including both

functional and non functional aspects, such as: theory on (timed)

automata, Petri-nets, concurrency theory, compositionality,

model-checking, automated theorem proving, synthesis, performance

analysis, correctness-by-construction results, infinite state systems,

abstract interpretation, decidability results, parametric analysis or

synthesis.

   - Applications of theory in engineering methods and particular

domains and handling of practical problems occurring in tools, such

as: analysis and verification tools, synthesis tools, reducing

complexity of verification by abstraction, improved representations,

handling user level notations, such as UML, practice in industry

applications to hardware, software or real-time and embedded

systems. Case studies, illustrating the usefulness of tools or a

particular approach are also welcome.



Theory papers should be motivated by practical problems and

applications should be rooted in sound theory. Of particular interest

are algorithms on one hand and methods and tools for integrating

formal approaches into industrial practice. Special care should be

taken as well to present papers in such a way that they are accessible

not only to specialists, that is, jargon need to be defined and

intuitive interpretation provided for theories.



SUBMISSIONS

===========



A submitted paper must contain original contributions, clearly
written in

English, and include comparison with related work.  The authors are
advised

to prepare their manuscripts using the LNCS style.  Each paper should
be no

more than 15 pages long and be submitted electronically via the ATVA
2007
Web

site.  Simultaneous submissions to other conferences are not allowed.
