19th International Conference on Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract InterpretationVMCAI 2018

Welcome to the website of the International Conference on Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation 2018.

VMCAI provides a forum for researchers from the communities of Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, facilitating interaction, cross-fertilization, and advancement of hybrid methods that combine these and related areas. VMCAI 2018 will be the 19th edition in the series.

Proceedings

The papers will be freely available from Springer here from Jan 7 to Feb 3, 2018.

Travel Support for Students
