 Conferences we run

+ LASER Summer School on software engineering, Elba Island (Italy), 8-15 September 2007, co-chaired with Tony Hoare. The theme is Applied Software Verification, part of Hoare's "Grand Challenge" of software verification; it has a very practical focus on actual tools. The speakers, each with the tool he will emphasize, are Tom Ball (SLAM), Gérard Berry (Esterel), Tony Hoare (verification of concurrency and transactions), me (Eiffel), Peter Müller (Boogie) and Natarajan Shankar (PVS). Registration is open.
