VORTEX 2025 – Verification and Monitoring at Runtime Execution
8th Workshop on Verification and Monitoring at Runtime Execution
Runtime Monitoring (RM) is concerned with the runtime analysis of software and hardware system executions in order to infer properties relating to system behaviour. Example applications include telemetry, log aggregation, threshold alerting, performance monitoring and adherence to correctness properties (more commonly referred to as runtime verification). RM has gained popularity as a solution to ensure software reliability, bridging the gap between formal verification and testing: on the one hand, the notion of event trace abstracts over system executions, thus favoring system agnosticism to better support reuse and interoperability; on the other hand, monitoring a system offers more opportunities for addressing error recovery, self-adaptation, and issues that go beyond software reliability. The goal of VORTEX is to bring together researchers contributing on all aspects of RM covering and possibly integrating both theoretical and practical aspects, with particular focus on hybrid approaches inspired by formal methods, program analysis, testing, and artificial intelligence.
The organization of this workshop was partially funded by the MUR project “T-LADIES” (PRIN 2020TL3X8X)

Call for Papers
Submissions are expected to be in English and to belong to one of the following two categories:
- long paper, page limit 12 in
jotstyle: unpublished self-contained work - short paper, page limit 6 in
jotstyle: original contribution, not yet fully developed
Authors of submissions that clearly fall within the topics of interest will be invited to present their work at the workshop.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following ones:
- monitor construction and synthesis techniques
- program adaptation
- monitoring oriented programming
- runtime enforcement, fault detection, recovery and repair
- combination of static and dynamic analyses
- specification formalisms for RM
- specification mining
- monitoring concurrent/distributed systems
- RM for safety and security
- RM for the Internet of Things
- industrial applications
- integrating RM, formal verification, testing, and artificial intelligence
- tool development
- instrumentation techniques for RM
- surveys on different RM tools, formal frameworks or methodologies
- presentations of RM tools
- techniques for enhancing code coverage in offline RM
Papers must be submitted electronically via EasyChair; the submission deadlines are April 25th AoE (abstract) and May 2nd AoE (paper). Authors should use the jot style.
Remark: Attendance should be in person, on line presentations at the workshop will be supported only in case of compelling circumstances.
Proceedings: see the specific page
Proceedings and special issue
Authors of selected papers will be invited to contribute with extended versions to be included in a special issue of the Journal of Object Technology - JOT.
