                        CALL FOR PAPERS

               Fourth International Conference on
VERIFICATION, MODEL CHECKING, and ABSTRACT INTERPRETATION
                          (VMCAI'03)
                  NYU, January 9--11, 2003
               URL:  http://www.cis.upenn.edu/vmcai/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The purpose of VMCAI is to provide a forum for reserachers from the three
communities (Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation)
that will facilitate interaction, cross-fertilization, and the advance of
hybrid methods that combine the three.  With the growing need for formal
tools to reason about complex, infinite-state, and embedded systems,
such hybrid methods are bound to be of great importance.


Papers are solicited of two categories: (1) reporting new results as well as
experimental evaluation and comparisons of existing techniques, and (2) survey
papers that shed light on the existing methods, their role in verificaiton, and
the relations among them.

Topics include but are not limited to:

    * program verification
    * static analysis techniques
    * model checking
    * program certification
    * type systems
    * abstract domains
    * debugging techniques
    * compiler optimization.
    * embedded systems
    * formal analysis of security protocols


The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer-Verlag
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Some funds to support students to attend the conference are available.

Paper Submission
----------------
Postscript or PDF files of detailed abstract (up to 12 pages, excluding
