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

    abstract interpretation       abstract domains

    static analysis               type systems

    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. 
Additional material may be placed in an appendix, to be read at the
discretion of the reviewer. Formatting style files can be found at:
