Submission deadline | March 31, 2025 |
The VERDI workshop aims at serving as a discussion forum focused on the area of V&V as a means to guarantee dependability of complex, potentially automated/autonomous CPS. This workshop covers all aspects related to the dependability evaluation (with special focus on safety and security) of safety-critical CPS using techniques such as fault/attack-injection, runtime verification, formal verification, semi-formal analysis, simulation, and testing.
List of Topics
- Safety/security risk assessment and assurance
- Analysis of threats and vulnerabilities
- In-the-loop and model-based analysis and assessment
- Architecture-driven assurance of safety and security
- Interplay between safety and security
- AI for safety/security and safety/security for AI
- Tools for validation and verification
- Verification and validation of LLM-enhanced systems
- Dependability analysis using simulation and experimental measurement
- Methods for qualification, assurance, and certification
- Test space exploration and test space pruning
- Distributed and real-time monitoring and control
- Analysis of probabilistic, real-time, or hybrid systems
Submission Guidelines
We welcome submissions in IEEE two-column conference style in two formats:
- Full papers up to 8 pages
- Short papers up to 4 pages
The page limit includes references. Accepted papers (full and short) will be published in the DSN supplemental volume and made available in IEEE Xplore.
Publication
All submissions should be made in PDF and must adhere to the IEEE Computer Society 8.5"x11" two-column camera-ready format (using a 10-point font on 12- point single-spaced leading). Templates are available at https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html.
Reviewing is single-blind. The names and affiliations of authors must appear in the submitted papers. Submissions not respecting format requirements may be rejected without review.
