Fenchurch Street, from Wednesday 8th January to Friday 10th January

    designs which are functionally correct or implement important
    properties such as safety or information security.

Papers are invited which address theoretical or practical issues in

organisers are aiming for a balanced mixture of tutorials, theoretical
