Background

VECoS 2026 is planned as a physical, in-person event to be held November 19-20, 2026 in Tinbergen Institute, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The International Conference on Verification and Evaluation of Computer and Communication Systems (VECoS) was created by an Euro-Med network of researchers in computer science. Its first edition VECoS 2007 took place in Algiers, VECoS 2008 in Leeds, VECoS 2009 in Rabat, VECoS 2010 in Paris, VECoS 2011 in Tunis, VECoS 2012 in Paris, VECoS 2013 in Florence, VECoS 2014 in Bejaia, VECoS 2015 in Bucharest, VECoS 2016 in Tunis, VECoS 2017 in Montreal, VECoS 2018 in Grenoble, VECoS 2019 in Porto, VECoS 2020 in Xi'an, VECoS 2021 in Beijing as a virtual conference due to COVID'19, VECoS 2023 in Marrakech, VECoS 2024 in Djerba, VECoS 2025 in Paris

Scope

The VECoS conference series focuses on the analysis of computer and communication systems, where functional and extra-functional properties are inter-related. VECoS encourages the cross-fertilization between the various formal verification and evaluation approaches, methods and techniques, especially those developed for concurrent and distributed hardware/software systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Abstraction techniques
Assessment for real-time systems
AI & Formal methods
Compositional verification
Correct-by-construction design
Data-driven testing
Dependability assessment techniques
Discrete-event and hybrid systems Modeling and Simulation
Equivalence checking
Model-based Security assessment
Model-checking
Parameterized verification
Performance and robustness evaluation
Probabilistic verification
QoS evaluation, planning and deployment
RAMS (Reliability-Availability-Maintainability-Safety) assessment
Rigorous system design
Security protocols verification
Supervisory control
Verification & validation of IoT
Verification & validation of safety-critical systems
Worst-case execution time analysis

Application domains

adaptive systems, cloud computing, communication protocols, computer graphics, computer vision, computer-supported collaborative work systems, cyber-physical systems, cybersecurity, high-performance computing, image processing, intelligent software, internet of things, learning-enabled systems, logistics systems, manufacturing of the future, mobile and wireless networking, operations research, programming languages, real-time and embedded operating systems, service-oriented systems, telecommunication systems, ubiquitous systems, web services, wireless sensor networks and workflow systems.

Paper Submission

Contributions must have not been published previously, nor already submitted to other conferences/journals. Manuscripts must be submitted in PDF format electronically, via the EasyChair system using the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format and should not exceed 15 pages, including the reference list. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the conference and present the paper. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended and revised versions of their work for consideration in a special issue of an indexed international journal (ISSE, IJCCBS or Arima).
