MLQA 2010

The second annual meeting of the MLQA working group will take place on July 9'th 2010 as part of FLoC 2010 in Edinburgh (Scotland). The theme of the meeting is:

• Static Analysis versus Model Checking: similarities, differences, synergies

The aim is to create a vibrant event consisting mainly of a number of invited talks that will cover some of the historical developments, survey the links established, establish state-of-the-art, identify the problems still worth pursuing and give a perspective on the implications and (novel) applications that can be foreseen.

The following incomplete list of presentations have been confirmed so far (but titles are tentative):

• Bernhard Steffen (on performing static analysis by doing model checking)
• Flemming Nielson (on performing model checking by doing static analysis)

• Marta Kwiatkowska (on quantitative model checking)
• Joost-Pieter Katoen (on quantitative model checking)

• Marsha Chechik / Arie Gurfinkel (on the use of abstraction in model checking)
• Orna Grumberg (on the use of abstraction in model checking)

• David Monniaux (on operations research in static analysis and model checking)
• Michael Huth (on modelling and analysing control of access and risk)

It will also be possible for attendees to present their own work, either as a poster session or by short 5-minute presentations.
