                  Fifth Working Conference on
            Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and Experiments
                          (VSTTE 2013)
                       May 17--19, 2013,
	         Menlo College, Atherton, California

The Fifth IFIP Working Conference on Verified Software: Theories,
Tools, and Experiments follows a successful inaugural working
conference at Zurich in 2005 followed by conferences in Toronto
(2008), Edinburgh (2010), and Philadelphia (2012).  The goal of this
conference is to advance the state of the art in the science and
technology of software verification, through the interaction of theory
development, tool evolution, and experimental validation.

Invited speakers:
  Alex Aiken (Stanford), Sandrine Blazy (Rennes),
  Nikhil Swamy (Microsoft), Andre Platzer (CMU)
