Challenges of Software Verification Symposium 2023

25-26 May 2023, Venice, Italy

Following the success of the first CSV workshop in 2022, the Symposium on “Challenges of Software Verification” will take place on Thursday 25th and Friday 26th May 2023 in the Aula Baratto of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. The 2-day event will be organized in several sessions. The scope of the symposium will cover theoretical results in the field of software verification, their practical applications, novel and innovative tools, and their impact of software verification in software engineering and DevOps practices. The symposium will not have published proceedings, but authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper to a special issue of the Springer International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer. The extended version of the talks presented at CSV 2022 is currently under publication as a Springer-Nature volume.
