Synopsis

The Automated Technology for Veri?cation and Analysis (ATVA) international symposium series was initiated in 2003, responding to a growing interest in formal veri?cation spurred by the booming IT industry, particularly hardware design and manufacturing in East Asia. Its purpose is to promote research on automated veri?cation and analysis in the region by providing a forum for int- action between the regional and the international research/industrial commu- ties of the ?eld. ATVA 2006, the fourth of the ATVA series, was held in Beijing, China, October 23-26, 2006. The main topics of the symposium include th- ries useful for providing designers with automated support for obtaining correct software or hardware systems, as well as the implementation of such theories in tools or their application. This year, we received a record number of papers: a total of 137 submissions from 27 countries. Each submission was assigned to three Program Comm- tee members, who could request help from subreviewers, for rigorous and fair evaluation. The ?nal deliberation by the Program Committee was conducted through Springer’s Online Conference Service for a duration of about 10 days after nearly all review reports had been collected. In the end, 35 papers were selected for inclusion in the program. ATVA 2006 had three keynote speeches given respectively by Thomas Ball, Jin Yang, and Mihalis Yannakakis. The main symposium was preceded by a tutorial day, consisting of three two-hourlectures given by the keynotespeakers.

About this title

Synopsis

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis, ATVA 2006, held in Beijing, China in October 2006. The 35 revised full papers presented together with abstracts of 3 keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 137 submissions. The papers address theoretical methods to achieve correct software or hardware systems, including both functional and non functional aspects; as well as applications of theory in engineering methods and particular domains and handling of practical problems occurring in tools.
