Overview

FMCAD 2002 is the fourth in a series of symposia on formal methods in computer-aided design. It is the biennial counterpart of CHARME, which takes place every odd year in Europe. 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 microelectronic systems. The conference will be held in Portland, Oregon, USA, November 6-8, 2002.

The conference covers formal aspects of computer-aided system design, including specification, verification, and synthesis. Papers on original research, case studies, technology transfer, and practical experience are solicited. A principal goal of the conference is to provide opportunities for researchers in the field to interact with the semiconductor and CAD industries. The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, which provides both printed and electronic dissemination.

Topics

As a leading forum for advancing formal methods in system design practice, FMCAD seeks groundbreaking results involving new technologies or application domains. In addition to advances along established lines, FMCAD promotes work that broadens the effective use of rigorous reasoning to attain high levels of design integrity.
