About

The 16th International Conference on Reachability Problems (RP'22) is being organised by the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) and the University of Kaiserslautern.

Papers presenting original contributions related to reachability problems in different computational models and systems are being sought. This will also be the occasion to review recent breakthroughs by renowned invited experts and survey emerging trends and emphasise on key open challenges. Participants are kindly encouraged to discuss core scientific issues that need to be further tackled.

The conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science. A selection of articles among the contributed papers will be invited to a special issue of a journal (TBA).

Topics

The conference is specifically aimed at gathering together scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds interested in reachability problems that appear in

  • ●  Algebraic structures
  • ●  Automata theory and formal languages
  • ●  Computational game theory
  • ●  Concurrency and distributed computation
  • ●  Decision procedures in computational models
  • ●  Hybrid dynamical systems
  • ●  Logic and model checking
  • ●  Verification of finite and infinite-state systems

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): reachability problems in infinite-state systems, rewriting systems, dynamical and hybrid systems; reachability problems in logic and verification; reachability analysis in different computational models, counter timed/ cellular/ communicating automata; Petri nets; computational and combinatorial aspects of algebraic structures (semigroups, groups and rings); frontiers between decidable and undecidable reachability problems; predictability in iterative maps and new computational paradigms.

Venue & COVID-19

The conference will mostly take place in the building of MPI-SWS, which is indicated in campus map. Please see travel information page for how to get to the campus from your hotel.

The lectures, lunches, and coffee breaks will take place on the first floor. You can reach it by going up the stairs you see from the entrance. There is also an elevator, which is to the left of the entrance. We will also provide a room where you can sit and work.

Here is a map with some points of interest for RP 2022: Some of the hotels, COVID test centers, and the conference dinner location.

Anti-Harassment Policy

We believe that the advancement of research is best accomplished in an environment that is open, diverse and respectful to all participants. During the conference, we will follow the anti-harassment policy of ACM. Anyone witnessing or subject to unacceptable behaviour should notify the conference chairs.
