*****************************************************************

VMCAI provides a forum for researchers from the communities of
Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation,
facilitating interaction, cross-fertilization, and advancement
of hybrid methods that combine the three areas.  With the growing
need for formal methods to reason about complex, infinite-state,
and embedded systems, such hybrid methods are bound to be of great
importance.

The conference will feature a keynote speech by
               David Harel (Weizmann Institute),
invited talks by
               Dawson Engler (Stanford University) and
               Mooly Sagiv (Tel Aviv University),
and a tutorial on security by
               Joshua Guttman (Mitre Corporation).

Papers are solicited reporting new results as well as experimental
evaluation and comparisons of existing techniques.
Authors are invited to submit a PDF or Postcript file (max. 12 pages),
formatted according to Springer LNCS guidelines, via the conference service:

   http://sttt.cs.uni-dortmund.de/vmcai2004/servlet/Conference

The URL will be activated in August.

The proceedings of the conference will be published in the
Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Selected papers
will be invited to a Special Section of Springer's international
journal on "Software Tools for Technology Transfer" (STTT).

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.

Paper Submission Deadline:  August 22, 2003
