## Scope

CAV 2022 is the 34th in a series dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of computer-aided formal analysis methods for hardware and software systems. 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. CAV considers it vital to continue spurring advances in hardware and software verification while expanding to new domains such as machine learning, autonomous systems, and computer security. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A selection of papers is expected to be invited to a special issue of Formal Methods in System Design and the Journal of the ACM.

The conference will take place as part of Federated Logic Conference (FLoC) on August 7-10, 2022 in Technion campus, Haifa, Israel (if the pandemic and the world permit).

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- Algorithms and tools for verifying models and implementations
- Algorithms and tools for system synthesis
- Algorithms and tools that combine verification and learning
- Mathematical and logical foundations of verification and synthesis
- Specifications and correctness criteria for programs and systems
- Deductive verification using proof assistants
- Hardware verification techniques
- Program analysis and software verification
- Software synthesis
- Hybrid systems and embedded systems verification
- Formal methods for cyber-physical systems
- Compositional and abstraction-based techniques for verification
- Probabilistic and statistical approaches to verification
- Verification methods for parallel and concurrent systems
- Testing and run-time analysis based on verification technology
- Decision procedures and solvers for verification and synthesis
- Applications and case studies in verification and synthesis
- Verification in industrial practice
- New application areas for algorithmic verification and synthesis
- Formal models and methods for security
- Formal models and methods for biological systems

Submissions on a wide range of topics are sought, particularly ones that identify new research directions. CAV 2022 is not limited to topics discussed in previous instances of the conference. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic may communicate with the conference chairs prior to submission.
