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'08 is co-located with the POPL'08 conference.

The program of VMCAI'08 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:
