November 13 - 16, 2005
Organized by IBM Research Lab in Haifa, Israel
Call for Papers
IBM Verification Conference 2005 includes three full day seminars, focusing on verification technologies, software testing, and PADTAD (Parallel and Distributed Systems: Testing and Debugging). The seminars will include both proceedings and the presentation of original technical papers. Papers are invited for the conference's three tracks, offering original contributions, not submitted for publication elsewhere. In addition to the Springer proceedings, papers will be selected for a special issue of the Journal of Science of Computer Programming (SCP) Methods of Software Design: Techniques and Applications.
Authors should submit their original contributions in upto 15 pages LNCS format as PostScript or PDF files electronically to Shmuel Ur (ur@il.ibm.com). Please include your postal address, email, phone and fax numbers. An early email with your intention to submit a paper would be greatly appreciated. Please contact one of the co-chairs if electronic submission is not possible and/or formats other than PostScript or PDF are used.
