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

FM 2009 is the sixteenth in a series of symposia of the
Formal Methods Europe association, and the second one
that is organized as a world congress. Ten years after
FM'99, the 1st World Congress, the formal methods
communities from all over the world will once again have
an opportunity to meet. FM 2009 will be both an
opportunity to celebrate, and an opportunity to join in
when enthusiastic researchers and practitioners from a
diversity of backgrounds and schools come together to
discuss their ideas and experiences.

The workshop on Verified Software: Theories, Tools, and
Experiments (VSTTE 2009) will take place on November the
2nd. The focus of this workshop will be on tools, as
previous VSTTE conferences in Zurich and Toronto
emphasised theories and experiments. Consisting of
contributed papers and invited talks, the workshop will
focus on the tools behind the development of systematic
methods for specifying, building, and verifying
high-quality software. This includes topics like:

* Program logic
* Specification and verification techniques
* Tool support for specification languages
* Tool for various design methodologies
* Tool integration and plug-ins
* Automation in formal verification
* Tool comparisons and benchmark repositories
* Combination of tools and techniques
(e.g. formal vs. semiformal, software specification
vs. engineering techniques)
* Customizing tools for particular applications

Papers about tool architectures, and their achievements
are most welcome. The contributed papers, which should
report on previously unpublished work, can reflect
current and preliminary work in areas of software
verification. New technical results, overviews of new
developments in software verification projects, short
papers accompanying tool demonstrations, as well as
position papers on how to further advance the goal of
verified software are all welcome.

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
====================

VSTTE proceedings will be published as a special issue of
the Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT) journal.
