General Information about SFM
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Formal methods are emerging in computer science as a prominent
approach to the rigorous design of computer, communication and
software systems.
The main aim of the SFM series is to offer a good spectrum of
current research in foundations as well as applications of
formal methods, which can be of interest for graduate students
and young researchers who intend to approach the field.
This year SFM is devoted to hardware verification and covers
several aspects of the hardware design process, including
hardware design languages, property specification formalisms,
simulation, and verification techniques like BDD-based and
SAT-based model checking and theorem proving.
Courses and Lecturers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The school lasts one week -- 22-27 May 2006 -- and features
the following 12 monographic courses:
"Hardware Design Languages and Simulation"
by Franco Fummi (Univ. of Verona - Italy)
"Hardware-Software Codesign"
by Alberto Ferrari (PARADES - Italy)
"Property Specification Formalisms"
by Moshe Vardi (Rice Univ. - USA)
"Automatic Test Pattern Generation"
by Rolf Drechsler (Univ. of Bremen - Germany)
"Equivalence Checking"
by Ziyad Hanna (Intel - Israel)
"Symbolic Trajectory Evaluation"
by Koen Claessen (Chalmers Univ. of Tech. - Sweden)
"BDD-Based Hardware Verification"
by Gianpiero Cabodi (Politecnico of Torino - Italy)
"SAT-Based Hardware Verification"
by Aarti Gupta (NEC Labs America - USA)
"Hardware as Infinite-State Systems"
by Randy Bryant (Carnegie Mellon Univ. - USA)
"Decision Procedures"
by Alessandro Cimatti (ITC-IRST - Italy)
"Theorem Proving"
by Panagiotis Manolios (Georgia Inst. of Tech. - USA)
"Verification of Floating Point Units"
by John Harrison (Intel - USA)
All the participants will receive a copy of a tutorial book
published by Springer in the LNCS series.
Location
^^^^^^^^
SFM-06:HV will be held in the medieval hilltop town of Bertinoro.
This town is in Emilia Romagna, about 70 km south-east of Bologna,
at an elevation of about 230 m. It can be reached in a couple of
hours from the international airport "G. Marconi" of Bologna by
shuttle (from the airport to the railway station) + train (from
Bologna to Forli) + bus (from the railway station to Bertinoro).
The closest airport is the "L. Ridolfi" airport of Forli, which
is 13 km away.
Bertinoro is close to many splendid locations such as Urbino,
Gradara, San Leo, and the Republic of San Marino, as well as some
less well-known locations like the thermal springs of Fratta Terme.
Bertinoro can also be a base for visiting some of the better-known
Italian locations such as Bologna, Ravenna, Ferrara, Venezia,
Padova, Verona, Firenze, Pisa, and Siena.
Bertinoro itself is picturesque, with its narrow streets and
walkways winding around the central peak. The school will be held
at the Centro Residenziale Universitario (CRU), an ex-episcopal
fortress that has been converted by the University of Bologna into
a modern conference center with computing facilities and Internet
access. From the fortress it is possible to enjoy a beautiful vista
stretching from the Apennines to the Adriatic coast and the Alps
over the Po Valley.
