Aims and Scope
The conference on Computer Aided Verification (CAV), 2012, is the 24th in a series dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of computer-aided formal analysis methods for hardware and software systems. CAV considers it vital to continue spurring advances in hardware and software verification while expanding to new domains such as biological systems and computer security. The conference covers the spectrum from theoretical results to concrete applications, with an emphasis on practical verification tools and the algorithms and techniques that are needed for their implementation. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A selection of papers will be invited to a special issue of Formal Methods in System Design and the Journal of the ACM.
Topics of interest include:

Algorithms and tools for verifying models and implementations

Hardware verification techniques

Hybrid systems and embedded systems verification

Deductive, compositional, and abstraction techniques for verification

Program analysis and software verification

Testing and runtime analysis based on verification technology

Verification methods for parallel and concurrent hardware/software systems

Applications and case studies in verification

Verification in industrial practice

Algorithms and tools for system synthesis

Verification techniques for security

Formal models and methods for biological systems
