Laboratoire Spécification et Vérification
Founded in 1997, the Laboratoire Spécification et Vérification (LSV) is the Computer Science laboratory of ENS de Cachan, and is also affiliated to the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) as UMR 8643. Research at LSV is focused on the verification of critical software and systems, as well as on the verification of computer system security.
Highlights
CONCUR 2018 Best Paper Award
Benedikt Bollig, Marie Fortin, and Paul Gastin received the Best Paper Award at CONCUR 2018 for their paper It Is Easy to Be Wise After the Event: Communicating Finite-State Machines Capture First-Order Logic with "Happened Before".
Sylvain Schmitz nominated at Institut Universitaire de France
Sylvain Schmitz has been nominated Junior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France. During his five-year membership term, he will pursue a project on the verification of resource-centric systems.

Alain Finkel and Philippe Schnoebelen receive CAV Award
Alain Finkel and Philippe Schnoebelen receive the 2017 CAV Award, jointly with the Swedish researchers Parosh Abdulla and Bengt Jonsson, for their contributions to the verification of infinite-state systems. The CAV award is given anually at the CAV conference for fundamental contributions to the field of Computer-Aided Verification. Notices of the American Mathematical Society features the award in its January 2018 issue (Notices Amer. Math. Soc. 2018:65(1) Mathematics People, page 50)
