-----------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT DATES:
----------------
* Abstract submission:    June 14, 2010
* Paper submission:       June 21, 2010
* Author notification:    July 31, 2010
* Workshop:               September 30 - October 1, 2010


AIM AND SCOPE:
--------------
The aim of the PDMC workshop series is to cover all aspects related to
the verification and analysis of very large and complex systems using
methods and techniques that exploit state-of-the-art hardware
architectures.  As such, the workshop provides a working forum for
presenting, sharing, and discussing recent achievements in the field
of high-performance verification.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

 * multi-core model checking
 * distributed model checking
 * multi-threaded/distributed equivalence checking
 * distributed state space generation
 * slicing and distributing the state space
 * parallel/distributed satisfiability checking
 * parallel/distributed theorem proving
 * parallel/distributed constraint solving
 * parallel methods in probabilistic model checking
 * parallel methods in performance evaluation
 * I/O efficient algorithms for verification
 * GPU accelerated verification
 * (libraries for) distributed graph algorithms
 * tools and case studies
 * industrial applications


SUBMISSIONS:
------------
We accept

 * regular papers (max. 8 pages in IEEE format)
 * tool papers (max. 2 pages in IEEE format)
 * work-in-progress presentations

All submissions must be original and unpublished.  Regular and tool
papers accepted for the presentation at the workshop will appear in
IEEE post-proceedings.  High-quality and mature work-in-progress
papers might be invited for the proceedings, depending on the
presentation at the workshop.
