# Scope
Runtime verification is concerned with the monitoring and analysis of
the runtime behaviour of software and hardware systems. Runtime
verification techniques are crucial for system correctness,
reliability, and robustness; they provide an additional level of rigor
and effectiveness compared to conventional testing, and are generally
more practical than exhaustive formal verification. Runtime
verification can be used prior to deployment, for testing,
verification, and debugging purposes, and after deployment for
ensuring reliability, safety, and security and for providing fault
containment and recovery as well as online system repair.
Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to:
* specification languages for monitoring
* monitor construction techniques
* program instrumentation
* logging, recording, and replay
* combination of static and dynamic analysis
* specification mining and machine learning over runtime traces
* monitoring techniques for concurrent and distributed systems
* runtime checking of privacy and security policies
* metrics and statistical information gathering
* program/system execution visualization
* fault localization, containment, recovery and repair
* dynamic type checking
Application areas of runtime verification include cyber-physical
systems, safety/mission critical systems, enterprise and systems
software, cloud systems, autonomous and reactive control systems,
health management and diagnosis systems, and system security and
privacy.

# Submissions
All papers and tutorials will appear in the conference proceedings in
an LNCS volume. Submitted papers and tutorials must use the
LNCS/Springer style detailed here:
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html
Papers must be original work and not be submitted for publication
elsewhere. Papers must be written in English and submitted
electronically (in PDF format) using the EasyChair submission page
here:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=rv19
The page limitations mentioned below include all text and figures, but
exclude references. Additional details omitted due to space
limitations may be included in a clearly marked appendix, that will be
reviewed at the discretion of reviewers, but not included in the
proceedings.
At least one author of each accepted paper and tutorial must attend RV
2019 to present.
# Papers
There are four categories of papers which can be submitted: regular,
short, tool demo, and benchmark papers. Papers in each category will
be reviewed by at least 3 members of the Program Committee.
* Regular Papers (up to 15 pages, not including references) should
present original unpublished results. We welcome theoretical papers,
system papers, papers describing domain-specific variants of RV, and
case studies on runtime verification.
* Short Papers (up to 6 pages, not including references) may present
novel but not necessarily thoroughly worked out ideas, for example
emerging runtime verification techniques and applications, or
techniques and applications that establish relationships between
runtime verification and other domains.
* Tool Demonstration Papers (up to 8 pages, not including references)
should present a new tool, a new tool component, or novel extensions
to existing tools supporting runtime verification. The paper must
include information on tool availability, maturity, selected
experimental results and it should provide a link to a website
containing the theoretical background and user guide. Furthermore, we
strongly encourage authors to make their tools and benchmarks
available with their submission.
* Benchmark Papers (up to 10 pages, not including references, NEW IN
2019) should describe a benchmark, suite of benchmarks, or benchmark
generator useful for evaluating RV tools. Papers will should include
information as to what the benchmark consists of and its purpose (what
is the domain), how to obtain and use the benchmark, an argument for
the usefulness of the benchmark to the broader RV community, and may
include any existing results produced using the benchmark. We are
interested in both benchmarks pertaining to real-world scenarios and
those containing synthetic data designed to achieve interesting
properties. Broader definitions of benchmark e.g. for generating
specifications from data or diagnosing faults are within
scope. Finally, we encourage but do not require benchmarks that are
tool agnostic (especially those that have been used to evaluate
multiple tools), labelled benchmarks with rigorous arguments for
correctness of labels, and benchmarks that are demonstrably
challenging with respect to the state-of-the-art tools. Benchmark
papers must be accompanied by an easily accessible and usable
benchmark submission. Papers will be evaluated by a separate benchmark
evaluation panel who will asses the benchmarks relevance, clarity, and
utility as communicated by the submitted paper.
The Program Committee of RV 2019 will give a best paper award, and a
selection of accepted regular papers will be invited to appear in a
special journal issue.
# Tutorial Track
Tutorials are two-to-three-hour presentations on a selected
topic. Additionally, tutorial presenters will be offered to publish a
paper of up to 20 pages in the LNCS conference proceedings. A
proposal for a tutorial must contain the subject of the tutorial, a
proposed timeline, a note on previous similar tutorials (if
applicable) and the differences to this incarnation, and a biography
of the presenter. The proposal must not exceed 2 pages. Tutorial
proposals will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Important Dates
