CAV 2025 is the 37th in a series dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of computer-aided formal analysis methods for hardware and software systems. The conference covers the spectrum from theoretical results to concrete applications, with an emphasis on practical verification tools and the algorithms and techniques that are needed for their implementation. CAV considers it vital to continue spurring advances in hardware and software verification while expanding to new domains such as machine learning, autonomous systems, and computer security. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. A selection of papers is expected to be invited to a special issue of Formal Methods in System Design and the Journal of the ACM.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

    Algorithms and tools for verifying models and implementations
    Algorithms and tools for system synthesis
    Algorithms and tools that combine verification and learning
    Mathematical and logical foundations of verification and synthesis
    Specifications and correctness criteria for programs and systems
    Deductive verification using proof assistants
    Hardware verification techniques
    Program analysis and software verification
    Software synthesis
    Hybrid systems and embedded systems verification
    Formal methods for cyber-physical systems
    Compositional and abstraction-based techniques for verification
    Probabilistic and statistical approaches to verification
    Verification methods for parallel and concurrent systems
    Testing and run-time analysis based on verification technology
    Decision procedures and solvers for verification and synthesis
    Applications and case studies in verification and synthesis
    Verification in industrial practice
    New application areas for algorithmic verification and synthesis
    Formal models and methods for security
    Formal models and methods for biological systems
    AI safety and explainability using formal methods

Submissions on a wide range of topics are sought, particularly ones that identify new research directions. CAV 2025 is not limited to topics discussed in previous instances of the conference. Authors concerned about the appropriateness of a topic may communicate with the conference chairs prior to submission.
