2nd ARVI COST School on Runtime Verification

Sponsored by COST association, Inria, and Persyval-Lab
March 19-21, 2018
Praz sur Arly, in the French Alps

Presentation

The second edition of the school on Runtime Verification, sponsored by COST Action IC1402 ArVi, Inria, and Persyval-Lab, will provide a balance on theoretical and practical aspects of Runtime Verification: In the theoretical aspect, while all the core concepts will be thoroughly covered, participants will also be exposed to cutting edge advances in the field. At the same time, the summer school will be hands-on and students will follow up with practical work  so that by the end of the school, participants will have their own basic runtime verification tool.

For PhD students and researchers entering the field of RV, the school will be a great opportunity to get to know other people working in the area, to meet distinguished scholars, and to establish contacts that may lead to research collaborations in the future. For people coming from industry, the school will provide an exposition of the major challenges as well as possible solutions to the application of RV in industry, an exposition to some of the major tools, as well as the basics of RV tool-building.
