Conference: October 30 - November 2

FMCAD 2011 is the eleventh in a series of conferences on the theory and
application of formal methods in hardware and system design and
verification. FMCAD provides a leading international forum to researchers
and practitioners in academia and industry for presenting and discussing
novel methods, technologies, theoretical results, and tools for formal
reasoning about computing systems, as well as open challenges therein.
