Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design: 5th International Conference 2004
Thanks to everyone for making FMCAD 2004 a great success! For people who missed the conference, Springer has published the proceedings as LNCS Volume 3312, with on-line (subscription) access to the electronic version. We hope to get slides from invited talks and tutorials up here eventually -- please check back later. Hope to see everyone at CHARME 2005 and FMCAD 2006!

~ Conference Overview ~

FMCAD 2004 is the fifth in a series of biennial conferences (alternating with CHARME in odd years in Europe) on formal methods in computer-aided design. The conference provides a forum for presenting state-of-the-art tools, methods, and technologies for the application of formalized reasoning to the design of computer and microelectronic systems. The conference covers formal aspects of computer-aided system design including specification, verification, synthesis, and testing. Although FMCAD has traditionally focused on hardware, we also welcome research on software or hardware/software systems.

This year, we are exploiting spatial and temporal locality with the ACL2-2004 Workshop November 18-19, immediately following FMCAD, also in Austin.
