MLQA 2010

The second annual meeting of the MLQA working group will take place on Friday 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.

If you would like to participate in this event, please write an e-mail to the acting chairman of MLQA Flemming Nielson on <mlqa(at)imm.dtu.dk>.

We would also like to lay the foundations for future research collaborations on challenging research problems. As part of this there will be a poster session, for which we invite submissions. Further details and important dates can be found on Call for Posters for MLQA 2010 (as part of FLoC 2010) page.
