TPCD Conferences

FMCAD arose from the TPCD (Theorem Provers in Circuit Design) series of conferences:

TPCD 1994, Bad Herrenalb, Germany. Publisher: Springer (LNCS 901). Editors: Ramayya Kumar and Thomas Kropf.
TPCD 1992, Nijmegen, Netherlands. Publisher: North-Holland (IFIP Transactions A-10). Editors: Victoria Stavridou, Thomas F. Melham, and Raymond T. Boute.

CHARME Conferences

For the past several years, CHARME (Correct Hardware Design and Verification Methods) and FMCAD have been sister conferences, with substantial overlap in research coverage and communities. In particular, FMCAD was held in the United States in even-numbered years and CHARME was held in Europe in odd-numbered years. In 2006 the two conferences have decided to merge, and as a result, FMCAD has now become a yearly conference.

CHARME 2005, Saarbruecken, Germany. Publisher: Springer (LNCS 3725). Editors: Dominique Borrione and Wolfgang J. Paul.
CHARME 2003, L'Aquila, Italy. Publisher: Springer (LNCS 2860). Editors: Daniel Geist and Enrico Tronci.
CHARME 2001, Livingston, Scotland. Publisher: Springer (LNCS 2144). Editors: Tiziana Margaria and Thomas F. Melham.
CHARME 1999, Bad Herrenalb, Germany. Publisher: Springer (LNCS 1703). Editors: Laurence Pierre and Thomas Kropf
CHARME 1997, Montréal, Québec, Canada. Publisher: Chapman and Hall (IFIP Conference Proceedings 105). Editors: Hon F. Li and David K. Probst.
CHARME 1995, Frankfurt/Main, Germany. Publisher: Springer (LNCS 987). Editors: Paolo Camurati and Hans Eveking.
CHARME 1993, Arles, France. Publisher: Springer (LNCS 683). Editors: George J. Milne and Laurence Pierre.

The CHARME conference series has been held under the "CHARME" name starting 1993. The roots of CHARME go back to 1984, to the early days of formal hardware verification. Before 1993, the events in the series were held under various different names, but the purpose (and the community) were the the same. The following list traces the early history of this conference series.
