============================================================================

WORKSHOP ON C/C++ VERIFICATION

July 2nd 2007, Oxford UK, as satellite of IFM
submission deadline: April 29th
http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~rhuuck/CV07/

============================================================================

C and its cousin C++ are among the most popular languages. In
contrast, application of formal methods to C and C++ code are
relatively rare. Holes in the type system, the frequent use of
type casts and sometimes direct hardware access in C/C++ code
make the development of formal methods very challenging.

The aim of the C/C++ verification workshop is to bring together
people that are working on the verification or the semantics of C
or C++ programs. The workshop will provide a forum to discuss
aspects of the type system and the semantics of C/C++, present
approaches for the verification of C or C++ programs, demonstrate
tools and report about (ongoing) verification projects.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

    * formal semantics of parts or aspects of C/C++
    * formal approaches to compiler or platform specific properties of C/C++
    * formal approaches for safety-critical C/C++ code
    * semantical treatment and verification of embedded 
                          assembly code for direct hardware access
    * verification of C/C++ code and verification results
    * tools for the semantic analysis of C/C++ code
    * tools for the verification of C/C++
    * case studies of C/C++ verification

Interested speakers should submit an extended abstract (between 2
and 10 pages) to H.Tews at cs.ru.nl. The abstracts will be subject to
light reviewing by the organisation committee. Accepted
submissions are collected in a technical report of Radboud
University Nijmegen. A CFP for post-workshop proceedings is
envisaged.


Important dates:
	  29th April:   submission deadline
	  8th  May  :   notification of accepted speakers
	  14th May  :   early (reduced) IFM registration deadline
	  1st June  :   final version of extended abstracts
	  2nd July  :   workshop 
          4-6th July:   IFM main conference

The workshop is organised as a satellite event of the conference
on Integrated Formal Methods 2007 (2nd-6th July Oxford UK)
