CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
PROBMIV'99
2nd International Workshop on Probabilistic Methods in Verification
http://fmt.cs.utwente.nl/probmiv99/
a satellite to CONCUR'99
Eindhoven, 23rd Aug 1999
(to coincide with EXPRESS'99, another satellite)
>>>>>>>>>>>EARLY REGISTRATION FOR CONCUR ENDS 1st JULY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
Probability inherently features in software and hardware systems,
either as a means to derive efficient solutions (e.g. randomization),
or as a result of unreliable or unpredictable behaviour (e.g.
fault-tolerant systems, computer networks, etc). *Probabilistic
verification* encompasses a range of theoretical, algorithmic and
programming methods that assist in establishing the correctness of
probabilistic systems against specifications. Typically this involves
calculating the probability bounds for a temporal logic formula being
satisfied, based on an appropriate probability space on computations,
but also includes properties such as cost analysis and long-run
average. Additionally, probabilistic verification can provide
guarantees the specifications hold with satisfactory probability in
cases when conventional model checking is not feasible.
The idea of this workshop is to bring together researchers that apply
probabilistic methods across the whole spectrum of verification. The
meeting aims to enable cross-fertilisation of ideas and techniques
between areas that are usually not in regular contact through
conferences, from semantics, probability theory, performance analysis
and computational linear algebra, through randomized algorithms,
probabilistic logics, model checking, abstract interpretation, to
practical experimental work, tools and applications.
This is the second workshop of this kind. The first meeting,
PROBMIV'98 was held in 1998 as a satellite to LICS. In 1999, the
workshop takes place as a satellite to CONCUR.

EXPRESS'99 workshop on Expressiveness in Concurrency, another
satellite of CONCUR'99.
