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.
VMCAI'07 is co-located with the POPL'07 conference.

The program of VMCAI'07 will consist of invited lectures, tutorials,
refereed research papers, and tool demonstrations. Research
contributions can report new results as well as experimental evaluations
and comparisons of existing techniques. Topics include, but are not
limited to:

    program verification          program certification

    model checking                debugging techniques

    deductive methods             optimization

Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including concurrent,
constraint, functional, imperative, logic and object-oriented
programming. Papers must describe original work, be written and
presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers
that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a
journal or a conference with refereed proceedings. The proceedings will
be published by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. 

The page limit for submissions is 15 pages in Springer's LNCS format.
