Tenth Summer School on Formal Techniques , May 22 - May 28, 2020 (http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT21) [Due to the pandemic, the Tenth Summer School on Formal Techniques that was postponed from 2020 will be virtual this year.] Techniques based on formal logic, such as model checking, satisfiability, static analysis, and automated theorem proving, are finding a broad range of applications in modeling, analysis, verification, and synthesis. This school, the tenth in the series, will focus on the principles and practice of formal techniques, with a strong emphasis on the hands-on use and development of this technology. It primarily targets graduate students and young researchers who are interested in studying and using formal techniques in their research. A prior background in formal methods is helpful but not required. Participants at the school can expect to have a seriously fun time experimenting with the tools and techniques presented in the lectures during laboratory sessions. ============================================================= The lecturers at the school include: * Thomas Reps (University of Wisconsin) Algebraic Program Analysis: Automating Abstract Interpretation * Natasha Sharygina (University of Lugano, Switzerland) SMT-streamlined Software Model Checking * Warren A. Hunt, Jr. and J Strother Moore (University of Texas) Proving Properties of Algorithms, Hardware, and Software with ACL2 * Jose Meseguer (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) Executable Formal Specification and Verification in Maude The main lectures in the summer school start on Monday May 24 and will be preceded by a background course on logic on Saturday May 22 and Sunday May 23: * Natarajan Shankar (SRI CSL) and Stephane Graham-Lengrand (Ecole Polytechnique) Speaking Logic ============================================================= The summer school also include several distinguished invited talks.

Although the summer school is virtual and there is no registration fee, attendance is restricted to registered participants. Attendees who complete the summer school will receive a certificate by mail. Applications should be submitted together with names of two references (preferably advisors, professors, or senior colleagues). Applicants are urged to submit their applications before April 30, 2021, since there are only a limited number of spaces available. We strongly encourage the participation of women and under-represented minorities in the summer school. -- [LOGIC] mailing list http://www.dvmlg.de/mailingliste.html Archive: http://www.illc.uva.nl/LogicList/ provided by a collaboration of the DVMLG, the Maths Departments in Bonn and Hamburg, and the ILLC at the Universiteit van Amsterdam
