their application to the analysis and verification of complex embedded
systems. Targeting primarily PhD students and young researchers with
an interest in safety-critical embedded systems, the technical program
comprises talks from 12 specialists in the field of automated formal
methods, covering the range from hard real-time systems over hybrid
