FMCAD submissions are now closed.

In response to many requests, the submission deadline for FMCAD'00 was pushed back to April 30. As a consequence, the reviewing process has been likewise delayed. Notifications will be sent on June 26. The due date for final manuscripts is firm.

Focus and objectives. The International Conference on Formal Methods in Computer-Aided Design 2000 (FMCAD'00) is a biennial forum for presenting state-of-the-art tools, methods, and technologies for the application of formalized reasoning to the design of microelectronic systems. The conference will be held in Austin, Texas, November 1-3, 2000.

The conference covers all relevant formal aspects of work in computer-aided system design including specification, verification, synthesis and testing. Papers on original research, case studies, technology transfer, and practical experience are solicited. A principal goal of the conference is to provide opportunities for researchers in the field to interact with regional semiconductor and CAD industries.

Topics and areas include, but are not limited to:

Publication:

The conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series, which includes both printed and electronic dissemination. Consequently, for accepted papers final versions include all source files. Consult Springer's Authors Instructions for instructions on article preparation.
