The 16th International Conference on Reachability Problems (RP’22) will be organised by the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) and the University of Kaiserslautern.
In 2020 and 2021 the conference was virtual due to COVID restrictions and this year RP will be organised as a physical meeting in Kaiserslautern, offering a possibility to authors with travel restrictions to give online presentations.
Papers presenting original contributions related to reachability problems in different computational models and systems are being sought. This will also be the occasion to review recent breakthroughs by renowned invited experts and survey emerging trends and emphasise on key open challenges. Participants are kindly encouraged to discuss core scientific issues that need to be further tackled.
The conference proceedings will be published in Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). A selection of articles among the contributed papers will be invited to a special issue of a journal (TBA).
TOPICS
The conference is specifically aimed at gathering together scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds interested in reachability problems that appear in
● Algebraic structures
● Automata theory and formal languages
● Computational game theory
● Concurrency and distributed computation
● Decision procedures in computational models
● Graphs and dynamical networks
● Hybrid dynamical systems
● Logic and model checking
● Verification of finite and infinite-state systems
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
– reachability problems in infinite-state systems,
– rewriting systems, dynamical and hybrid systems;
– reachability problems in computational games and distributed systems;
– reachability problems in dynamical networks,
– reachability problems in logic and verification;
– reachability problems in formal methods;
– reachability analysis in different computational models,
counter timed/ cellular/ communicating automata;
– Petri nets; computational and combinatorial aspects of algebraic structures
(semigroups, groups and rings);
– frontiers between decidable and undecidable reachability problems;
– predictability in iterative maps and new computational paradigms.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION. There are two categories of submissions:
REGULAR PAPERS
Authors are asked to submit their papers through EasyChair.
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=reach2022
PRESENTATIONS ONLY
In addition to the formal presentations based on our LNCS proceedings volume, we invite researchers to submit a paper which recently appeared (or which is going to appear) in proceedings of another conference, or which has not yet been submitted. Neither the paper nor the abstract will be published in the proceedings.
