Call for participation

We solicit talks about ongoing research in the area of systems verification. We are broadly interested in most topics in this space, but for some examples, take a look at the schedule from last year's workshop.

Concretely, to propose a talk, send an email to Adam and Nickolai with one paragraph describing:

  • What topic do you want to talk about.
  • What is the ideal length for your talk.
  • Who will give the talk.
  • Pointers to papers, tech reports, git repos, or other material about your project, if any.

Full consideration will be given to proposals received by September 1st.
