CAV 2027 — 39th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification

CAV 2027, the 39th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification, runs 19-23 July 2027 at KIT — formerly the Royal Tropical Institute, beside Oosterpark — in Amsterdam, and is the first CAV edition ever held in the Netherlands. It is chaired by Marieke Huisman of the University of Twente and Joost-Pieter Katoen of RWTH Aachen University. CAV is the flagship conference dedicated to advancing the theory and practice of computer-aided formal analysis methods for hardware and software systems, spanning theoretical results, algorithms, implementation techniques and concrete applications with a strong emphasis on practical verification tools — and it is explicitly expanding into machine learning, quantum verification, autonomous systems and computer security. Workshop proposals close 15 September 2026 and papers on 20 January 2027.

• ✓Verification and formal methods engineers
• ✓Hardware design verification leads
• ✓Safety-critical systems architects
• ✓Security engineers
• ✓AI assurance and model-validation leads
• ✓Heads of engineering in regulated or high-assurance software

For any organisation that has to prove a system behaves — chip design, avionics, automotive autonomy, a cryptographic protocol, or increasingly a deployed machine-learning model — CAV is where the tooling that produces that proof is built, benchmarked and independently re-run. A verification or assurance lead spends five days with the authors of the model checkers and solvers already sitting inside their pipeline, and gets the earliest credible read on formal assurance for machine learning and autonomous systems, which the 2027 edition explicitly solicits. Amsterdam also makes 2027 an unusually accessible edition for European teams: it is the first CAV ever held in the Netherlands.

• ✓Main research programme spanning theoretical results, algorithms, implementation techniques and concrete applications
• ✓Declared areas of expansion: machine learning, quantum verification, autonomous systems and computer security
• ✓Co-located workshops, with proposals due 15 September 2026
• ✓Artifact evaluation with dedicated artifact evaluation chairs
• ✓Author response period, 5-8 April 2027, ahead of notification on 23 April 2027
• ✓Early registration deadline of 18 May 2027, two months before the conference

• ★The flagship conference of the automated-verification field, and the first edition in its 39-year history to be held in the Netherlands.
• ★Explicitly widening beyond hardware and software verification into machine learning, quantum verification, autonomous systems and computer security — a direct route into how AI systems get formally assured.
• ★Strong emphasis on practical verification tools rather than theory alone: the call spans theoretical results, algorithms, implementation techniques and concrete applications.
• ★Runs a formal artifact evaluation process with dedicated artifact evaluation chairs, so tool claims are re-run before publication rather than taken on the authors' word.
• ★Chaired by Marieke Huisman (University of Twente) and Joost-Pieter Katoen (RWTH Aachen University), two long-standing builders of the field's tooling.
