One of the main technical challenges is in devising tools that allow to handle large state spaces. Over the last years numerous approaches have been developed. Recently, an increasing interest is in parallelizing and distributing of verification techniques. The aim of the PDMC workshop series is to cover all aspects of parallel and distributed methods and techniques for formal verification. Theoretical results, algorithms and case studies are equally welcome. Contributions from the domains of model checking, theorem proving, and equivalence checking are anticipated. The PDMC workshop aims to provide a working forum for presenting, sharing, and discussing recent achievements in the field of parallel and distributed verification. The workshop will consist of invited talks and a selection from submitted papers. SCOPE AND TOPICS: Papers describing recent work on all aspects of parallel and distributed verification are solicited as contributions to PDMC. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * parallel and distributed model checking * parallel and distributed equivalence checking * parallel and distributed satisfiability checking * slicing and distributing the state space * distributed theorem proving * distributed constraints solving * parallel methods in probabilistic model checking * file systems for distributed transitions systems * parallel methods in performance evaluation * tools and case studies * industrial applications INVITED SPEAKER: * Kim G.

New TC6 logo
by Otto Spaniol 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Dear all, please find attached the new TC6 logo in PDF format. I've ordered new pins with that logo. They should be available for Networking 2005 and for subsequent events. At the occasion of meeting 2005/1 I shall ask for approval of this action; I had to do it very spontaneously in order to h.ve the pins ready for Networking 2005. The attendance statistics for meeting 2005/1 has been improved very much (see enclosure). Already 18 attendants with some more expected. Best regards Otto
