Fourth ACM-IEEE International Conference on Formal Methods and Models for Codesign (MEMOCODE'06)
July 27-29, 2006 -- Napa Valley, California


CALL FOR PAPERS

The goal of MEMOCODE'2006, the fourth in a series of international conferences, is to gather together software and hardware researchers and practitioners to explore ways in which software and hardware design can exploit research results in formal methods. Papers, panel proposals, and tutorial proposals are invited on topics relevant to the application of formal methods to hardware and software design. These topics include formal specification languages and their use in modeling hardware and software systems, formal methods for performance/power analysis and optimization, design verification approaches using model checking and theorem proving, specification-based testing, design methodologies based on formal methods, and rigorous approaches (e.g., refinement) to transforming a hardware or software specification into a reliable, efficient implementation.

Submissions of research and experience papers will be accepted only at the MEMOCODE'2006 submission server. Papers must not exceed 10 pages in length and be prepared using the IEEE Computer Society publication format. Submissions must not be under review, accepted, or published by another publication. Panel proposals should be submitted to the panel chair; tutorial proposals to the tutorial chair. The Program Chairs may be contacted for all questions on the MEMOCODE'2006 technical program. Conference proceedings will be published with OmniPress and copyrighted by the IEEE Computer Society.  Best papers of MEMOCODE'2003 and MEMOCODE'2004 have been published in special issues of international journals (ACM TECS and Springer FMSD).
