Past PSSV (2010-2023)

The workshop has 14 years tradition. It was launched in 2010 to serve a platform for research coordination and cooperation in the field of program semantics, specification, and verification for colleagues from former Russia and abroad. The first workshop PSSV-2010 was organized by Valery A. Sokolov and Valery A. Nepomniaschy (1939-2021). Seven editions of the PSSV series were satellite events of Computer Science Symposium in Russia (CSR Conference Series), three editions – satellite events of A.P. Ershov Informatics Conference (the PSI Conference Series), and four editions were standalone events:

  • PSSV-2010 – with CSR-2010 in Kazan
  • PSSV-2011 – with CSR-2011 in St. Petersburg
  • PSSV-2012 – with CSR-2012 in Nizhny Novgorod
  • PSSV-2013 – with CSR-2013 in Yekaterinburg
  • PSSV-2014 – with CSR-2014 in Moscow
  • PSSV-2015 – with PSI-2015 in Kazan and Innopolis
  • PSSV-2016 – with CSR-2016 in St. Petersburg
  • PSSV-2017 – with PSI-2017 in Moscow
  • PSSV-2018 – standalone workshop in Yaroslavl
  • PSSV-2019 – with affiliation with a joint event Computer Science Summer in Russia (CSSR) that combines CSR-2019 and PSI-2019 in Novosibirsk
  • PSSV-2020 – standalone online workshop organized by High School of Economics (Moscow)
  • PSSV-2021 – standalone online workshop organized by Innopolis University (Innopolis, Russia)
  • PSSV-2023 – standalone hybrid workshop organized by Innopolis University (Innopolis, Russia) with affiliated The First Verification Hackathon VeHa-2023.

Research and verification competition

  • Program Committee held Second young scientists research competition named after Valery A. Nepomniaschy among authors. (Please refer Regulations document for further details.) Program Committy awarded the prize to Ivan M. Chernenko, postgraduate student at Institute of Automation and Electrometry, Russian Academy of Sciences, for his research and talk Pattern-Based Approach to Automation of Deductive Verification of Process-Oriented Programs.
  • The second Russian Verification Hackathon VeHa-2024 was held in affiliation and in parallel with the workshop. (The first competition VeHa-2023 was held in parallel and in affiliation with PSSV-2023.) VeHa-2024 competition was held in a hybrid mode, and online tutorials were held in advance. The tasks, tutorials and results are published on the competition page VeHa-2024.
