GandALF 2022: Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification


Call for Papers

The Thirteenth International Symposium on Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification will be held in Madrid (Spain) on September 21-23, 2022.

The aim of GandALF 2022 is to bring together researchers from academia and industry which are actively working in the fields of Games, Automata, Logics, and Formal Verification. The idea is to cover an ample spectrum of themes, ranging from theory to applications, and stimulate cross-fertilization. Papers focused on formal methods are especially welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on all relevant topics in these areas. Papers discussing new ideas that are at an early stage of development are also welcome. The topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the following:

Important Dates

Paper Submission: June 3 June 10
Notification: July 24
Camera-ready: August 12
Conference: September 21-23

⚠ : submission, Notification and Camera-ready dates are AoE

Publication

The proceedings will be published by Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a revised version of their work to a special issue of Logical Methods in Computer Science. The previous editions of GandALF already led to special issues of the International Journal of Foundations of Computer Science (GandALF 2010), Theoretical Computer Science (GandALF 2011 and 2012), Information and Computation (GandALF 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2020), Acta Informatica (GandALF 2015) and Logical Methods in Computer Science (2021).

Submission

Submitted papers should not exceed 14 pages (excluding references and clearly marked appendices) using EPTCS format (please use the LaTeX style provided here, be unpublished and contain original research. For papers reporting experimental results, authors are encouraged to make their data available with their submission. Submissions must be in PDF format and will be handled via the HotCRP Conference system at the following address:

Attending GandALF

On Site

GandALF will take place at the IMDEA Software Institute which is located in the Montegancedo Science and Technology Park about 10km from Madrid city centre. Besides being well connected with Madrid by public transport we will provide an additional connection by bus especially for the GandALF participants. We thus strongly recommend to stay anywhere in Madrid city centre, the closer to the Moncloa metro stop (subway line 3 and 6) the faster you will be able to reach the IMDEA Software Institute.

Registration

To attend GandALF at the IMDEA Software Institute register here.

Reaching the IMDEA Software Institute

The preferred option to get to the IMDEA Software Institute is the “GandALF bus” which will be leaving at 9:15AM Wednesday to Friday next to the Moncloa metro stop as indicated in the above picture.

We strongly recommend you to catch the GandALF bus but there is an alternative if you need it: the 865 intercity bus. Each trip costs 2€ (exact change needed) and the bus departing at 9.35AM can be very crowded.

865 Bus Departure Time
7:50AM
8:20AM
9:35AM
10:20AM

COVID measures

Spanish authorities require wearing a face mask when using public transport. This includes the GandALF bus.

Online

We will enable a zoom webinar where talks will be broadcasted unless permission is not granted by the speaker.
