Atherton CA, U.S.A.
Seventh Summer School on Formal Techniques, May 21 - May 26, 2017, Menlo College Atherton, California http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT17 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 sixth 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 will have a seriously fun time experimenting with the tools and techniques presented in the lectures during laboratory sessions. The lecturers at the school include: * Stephanie Delaune (IRISA France): Verification of security protocols: from confidentiality to privacy * Marijn Heule (University of Texas at Austin): State-of-the-art SAT Solving * K. Rustan M. Leino (Microsoft Research, Redmond WA): Verified programs and proofs in Dafny * Sam Blackshear (Facebook): Building compositional static analyzers with Infer * Ashish Tiwari (SRI International Computer Science Laboratory): Formal Techniques for Analyzing Hybrid Systems The main lectures in the summer school will be preceded by a background course on logic taught by Natarajan Shankar (SRI)and Stephane Graham-Lengrand (Ecole Polytechnique) on "Speaking Logic". We will also have special invited talks presented by * Paolo Mancosu, UC Berkeley * Vaughan Pratt, Stanford * Maria Paola Bonacina, Università degli Studi di Verona Note: The school is preceded by the 9th NASA Formal Methods Symposium (NFM) 2017 (https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/events/nfm-2017/) and the associated sixth Automated Formal Methods (AFM) 2017 (http://fm.csl.sri.com/AFM17/) workshop. On May 20 there will be an AFM tutorial day that students are encouraged to attend. Information about previous Summer Schools on Formal Techniques can be found at http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT16 We expect to provide support for the travel and accommodation for a limited number of students registered at US universities, but welcome applications from non-US students as well as non-students (if space permits). Non-US students will have to cover their own travel and will be charged around US$600 for meals and lodging. Applications should be submitted at the website http://fm.csl.sri.com/SSFT17 Applicants are urged to submit their applications before April 30, 2017, since there are only a limited number of spaces available. Non-US applicants requiring US visas are requested to apply early. 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
