Call for papers
SynCoP 2016
3rd International Workshop on the SYNthesis of COmplex Parameters
(ETAPS satellite event)
http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/Sy
==============================
SynCoP aims at bringing together researchers working on verification and
parameter synthesis for systems with discrete or continuous parameters, in
which the parameters influence the behavior of the system in ways that are
complex and difficult to predict. Such problems may arise for real-time,
hybrid or probabilistic systems in a large variety of application domains. The
parameters can be continuous (e.g., timing, probabilities, costs) or discrete
(e.g., number of processes). The goal can be to identify suitable parameters
to achieve desired behavior, or to verify the behavior for a given range of
parameter values.
The workshop will take place on Sunday, April 3, 2016, in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, as a
satellite event of ETAPS.
The workshop may be able to (at least partially) support the travel and the
ETAPS workshop registration fees for one or two PhD or Master student(s).

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
=================
SynCoP seeks both regular papers and tool papers.
The content of papers should be original and not submitted elsewhere. All
papers will be assigned to at least three reviews.
The page limit is 12 pages in EPTCS LaTeX format
(http://www.eptcs.org/) for regular papers and 4 pages for tool papers.
All accepted papers will be published in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS), an international refereed open access, using the Creative Commons CC-BY license. Hereby, the
authors retain their copyright. All accepted papers will be referenced using
a DOI in all major databases (such as DBLP).”
Accepted tool papers will be required to do a demo during the workshop.
