SFM-07:PE call for participation


*************************************************

  • Call for Participation *
  • (deadline: 11 March 2007) *

*************************************************

General Information about SFM

Formal methods are emerging in computer science as a prominent
approach to the rigorous design of computer, communication and
software systems.

The main aim of the SFM series is to offer a good spectrum of
current research in foundations as well as applications of
formal methods, which can be of interest for graduate students
and young researchers who intend to approach the field.

This year SFM is devoted to performance evaluation and covers
formalisms for performance modeling, equivalence checking and
model checking, efficient solution techniques, and software
performance engineering.

Courses and Lecturers

The school lasts one week -- 28 May 2007 to 2 June 2007 --
and features the following 12 monographic courses:

All the participants will receive a copy of a tutorial book published by
Springer as a volume in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Location

SFM-07:PE will be held in the medieval hilltop town of Bertinoro.
This town is in Emilia Romagna, about 70 km south-east of Bologna,
at an elevation of about 230 m. It can be reached in a couple of
hours from the international airport "G. Marconi" of Bologna by
shuttle (from the airport to the railway station) + train (from
Bologna to Forli`) + bus (from the railway station to Bertinoro).
The closest airport is the "L. Ridolfi" airport of Forli`, which
is 13 km away.

Bertinoro is close to many splendid locations such as Urbino,
Gradara, San Leo, and the Republic of San Marino, as well as some
less well-known locations like the thermal springs of Fratta Terme.
Bertinoro can also be a base for visiting some of the better-known
Italian locations such as Bologna, Ravenna, Ferrara, Venezia,
Padova, Verona, Firenze, Pisa, and Siena.

Bertinoro itself is picturesque, with its narrow streets and
walkways winding around the central peak. The school will be held
at the Centro Residenziale Universitario (CRU), an ex-episcopal
fortress that has been converted by the University of Bologna into
a modern conference center with computing facilities and Internet
access. From the fortress it is possible to enjoy a beautiful vista
stretching from the Apennines to the Adriatic coast and the Alps
over the Po Valley.
