International Workshop on Reconfigurable Transition Systems:

Call for Papers


https://reacts2024.github.io/

Tuesday, 5 November 2024, Aveiro, Portugal

Satellite event of SEFM 2024 (https://sefm-conference.github.io/sefm2024)

==================================================
OVERVIEW
==================================================

Reconfigurable Transition Systems (RTS) are dynamic relational
structures (graphs) that evolve along its execution, in the sense that
their accessibility relation, their set of nodes or their labelling
change when their edges are crossed. These structures have proven to
be suitable to compactly represent complex reactive and reconfigurable
behaviours. Namely, the ability of reacting or readapting under the
influence of certain events is a very distinctive feature of many
diverse situations and objects. An autonomous vehicle that changes its
route due to a new strike occurring, the behaviour of a software
component after a memory disposal, or a DNA mutation as the result of
a viral infection, are different examples that witness the importance
of modelling about changes in a determined situation. Practical user
cases have aroused the interest of the logic community in the study of
variants of RTS, by developing formal methods to properly reason about
such situations.

This workshop aims to bring together the whole community of
researchers working on different ways to model reconfigurable and
reactive systems from a formal perspective. This includes theoretical
approaches (like hybrid logics, reactive frames, model-update logics),
or formalisms designed for specific purposes (like separation logic in
software verification, dynamic epistemic logic in AI planning, and
others). Also, our goal is to devise novel approaches and potential
applications, and share a common perspective on the discipline.


==================================================
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
==================================================

Authors are invited to submit, via EasyChair research contributions or
experience reports
(https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=reacts2024).


All papers should be written in English and prepared using the
specific LNCS templates available at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.


There are two categories of submissions

FULL PAPERS up to 12 pages excluding reference,   – to present
original research and the analysis, interpretation and validation of
the research findings.

SHORT PRESENTATIONS up to 4 pages,  – to present work in progress and
preliminary results.

Both kinds of submissions allow system descriptions,  to present a new
tool, a new tool component or novel extensions to an existing tool
aiming at supporting open community approaches, or the
use/customisation of an existing tool in the context of RTS.


Accepted Full Papers will be included in the workshop programme and
will appear in the workshop pre-proceedings as well as in the LNCS
post-proceedings.
Accepted Short presentations  will be included in the pre-proceeding
but not published in the post-proceedings.

Pre-proceedings will be available online before the Workshop.
