Special Issue on Automated Verification of Critical Systems
Guest editor: Markus Roggenbach

This special issue is devoted to the scope of the international
workshop on Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS 2009 -
see http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/avocs09/index.php) which Swansea
University hosted in September 2009. AVoCS is devoted to tools
and techniques for the verification of critical systems. These topics
are to be interpreted broadly and inclusively.

Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are:

- Model Checking,
- Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving,
- Abstract Interpretation,
- Specification and Refinement,
- Requirements Capture and Analysis,
- Verification of Software and Hardware,
- Verification of Security-Critical Systems,
- Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems,
- Verified System Development, and
- Industrial Applications.

Submission to this special issue is completely open. We expect
original articles (typically 15-30 pages) that present high-quality
contributions that have not been previously published in an archival
venue and that must not be simultaneously submitted for publication
elsewhere.

Submissions must comply with SCP's author guidelines (see
http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505623/authorinstructions), 

be written in English, and be formatted using LaTeX.

Submission to this special issue are hereby encouraged via the
EasyChair submission system at

The deadline for submissions is

 May 31st, 2009.
