           2nd Workshop on Verification and Analysis
             of Multi-threaded Java-like Programs

                     Part of ETAPS 2009

             York, United Kingdom, March 28, 2009

SCOPE

The VAMP workshop provides a forum for researchers interested in
verification and analysis of multi-threaded Java-like programs. It
aims to bring together practically minded tool builders and
theoretically minded concurrency researchers who are interested in
verification and analysis techniques for Java-like languages. Topics
of interest include but are not limited to (where MJLL stands for
multi-threaded Java-like languages):

     * program logics for MJLL
     * automatic verification and static analysis techniques for MJLL
     * type-based verification for MJLL
     * software model checking for MJLL
     * specification techniques for MJLL
     * formal semantics for MJLL
     * formalizations of the Java memory model
     * race condition detection, deadlock detection, etc.
     * static analysis for bug discovery

CONTRIBUTIONS

We invite full papers of up to 15 pages in ENTCS-style format, and
short papers of up to 6 pages that raise interesting issues for
discussion. Papers should be submitted electronically following the
instructions on the workshop webpage. They will be refereed by the
program committee. We will prepare preliminary proceedings for the
workshop and, if there is a sufficient number of good submissions and
sufficient interest among the contributors, post-workshop proceedings
can be published in the Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer
Science (ENTCS).
