[Caml-list] SynCoP 2014: 1st Call for Papers

["Étienne André" <Etienne.Andre@univ-paris13.fr>]

====================================================================
                           Call for papers

                             SynCoP 2014
  1st International Workshop on the SYNthesis of COntinuous Parameters

               http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/SynCoP2014/
====================================================================


SynCoP aims at bringing together researchers working on parameter 
synthesis for systems with continuous variables, where the parameters 
consist of a (usually dense) set of constant values. Such problems arise 
for real-time, hybrid or probabilistic systems where the goal is to 
identify suitable parameters to achieve desired behavior, or to verify 
the behavior for a given range of parameter values. A parameter could 
be, e.g., a delay in a real-time system, or a reaction rate in a 
biological cell model.

The workshop will take place on Saturday the 5th of April 2014, in 
Grenoble, France, as a satellite of ETAPS 2014.
