[TYPES/announce] verified trustworthy software systems

[Gardner, Philippa A]

Hello all,

I am organising a Royal Society Meeting on `Verified Trustworthy
Software Systems’ on 4th-5th April with Mike Gordon (Cambridge), Greg
Morrisett (Harvard—>Cornell), Peter O’Hearn (Facebook) and Fred
Schneider (Cornell), and an associated two-day specialist workshop at
Imperial on 6th-7th April.

For the Royal Society meeting, the audience will comprise verification
experts, systems and security experts interested in verification,
industrialists using verification, and government scientists thinking
about verification challenges in cyber security and the certification
of software. For the specialist workshop at Imperial, the speakers and
audience will comprise verification, systems and security experts
(think Dagstuhl with many more people in the audience, the fun meeting).

The speakers are given below. All details about the meetings can be
found at this link:

If interested in attending the meetings, please contact Teresa Carbajo 
Garcia at t.carbajo-garcia at imperial.ac.uk. There are approximately 50 
places left and we believe the demand will be high, so please contact Teresa
asap.

We have a few travel scolarships for PhD students: decisions on 11th
March (although get in touch with Teresa early to ensure a place).
See the webpage for details.

Best wishes,
Philippa Gardner
