+===== General Information =====
+Meeting is collocated with [[http://popl.mpi-sws.org/2013/|POPL 2013]], organized by **Maria Paola Bonacina** and **Cesar Sanchez**.
+This workshop also serves as the meeting of the Rich Model Toolkit COST Action IC0901. Information about the Action: http://richmodels.epfl.ch/
+The meeting continues a series of meetings held in Brussels, Belgrade, Edinburgh, Lugano, Saarbruecken, Dagstuhl, Turin, Tallinn, Manchester, and Haifa held in the period 2009-2012.
+===== Local Arrangements =====

+===== KEYNOTES =====
+We are pleased to confirm keynotes from:
+  * **[[http://www.kenmcmil.com/|Kenneth L. McMillan]]** (Microsoft Research): //Logic as the lingua franca of software verification//
+  * **[[http://www.gilith.com/about/|Joe Leslie-Hurd]]** (Intel): //Theory Engineering Using Composable Packages//
+===== Scope of the Event =====
+Researchers have developed a number of useful tools for automated analysis of particular classes of models of computer
+systems:
+  * software vendors are using static analyses supported by automated theorem provers and constraint solvers to prevent software crashes;
+  * hardware manufacturers are using SAT solvers,model checkers, and theorem provers to identify and correct errors that could have enormous financial consequences;
+  * description logic reasoners analyze relationships between tens of thousands of terms in medical ontologies and verify their consistency;
+  * aircraft manufacturers and space agencies are using analysis tools based on abstract interpretation to eliminate errors in aircraft control software.
+Despite these successes, today’s automated analysis methods are not widespread in engineering practice.
+Among the factors contributing to this state of affairs are the limitations of the tools themselves:
+insufficient automation, specialized input formats, and no support for high-level synthesis. Another factor is the lack of standards
+of quality that would easy tool interoperability and give formally certified computer system a competitive advantage over systems
+without formal assurance guarantees.
+===== Example topics of interest =====
+  * **Standardization of expressive languages.** Formats to represent systems, formulas, proofs, counterexamples. Translation between specification languages. Benchmarks and competitions for automated reasoning, verification, analysis, synthesis.
+  * **Decision procedures:** Decision procedures for new classes of constraints. SAT and SMT implementation and certification. Encoding synthesis and analysis problems into SMT. Description logics and scalable reasoning about knowledge bases.
+  * **Transition system analysis:** Abstraction-based approaches and refinement for verification of infinite-state systems. Constraint-based program analysis. Data-flow analysis for complex domains. Extracting transition systems from programming languages and bytecodes.
+  * **High-level synthesis:** New algorithms for synthesis from high-level specifications. Extending decision procedures to perform synthesis tasks. Connections  between invariant generation and code synthesis.
