Call for Presentations
The HYPER workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in the broad area of hyperproperties and working in the areas of formal methods and control, cybersecurity, and machine learning. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Specification formalisms for hyperproperties
Algorithms for verification, synthesis, and runtime verification for hyperproperties
Information-flow control
Privacy
Fairness
Causality
Robustness
Explainability
Presentation proposals shall be submitted in form of an extended abstract of up to three pages in LNCS format (not including references). Submissions can overlap with previously published work and will be judged based on their relevance to the topic of the workshop.
Proposals may be submitted on EasyChair.
