SCOPE

Bytecode, such as produced by e.g. Java and .NET compilers, has become
an important topic of interest, both for industry and academia. The
industrial interest stems from the fact that bytecode is typically
used for Internet and mobile devices (smart-cards, phones, etc.)
applications, where security is a major issue. Moreover, bytecode is
device-independent and allows dynamic loading of classes, which
provides an extra challenge for the application of formal methods. In
addition, the unstructuredness of the code and the pervasive presence
of the operand stack also provide extra challenges for the analysis of
bytecode.  This workshop will focus on theoretical and practical
aspects of semantics, verification, analysis, certification and
transformation of bytecode. Both new theoretical results and tool
demonstrations are welcome.
