ZUM07 at ICECCS07 in conjunction with FMinNZ07

Auckland
New Zealand

11th July 2007

Supported by....

Z User Group

Formal Methods Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Waikato

All talks will take place in Room Eng3403. Please see the ICECCS 2007 web site for location details.

As with previous ZUMs, the central concern will be to have presentations and discussions about Z-related issues. As something of a centre-piece we will have a session on CZT, as well as the usual presentation slots for papers. This is also the second FMinNZ workshop, which brings together researchers form New Zealand (and the wider world) to talk about ideas, results etc. from the broader formal methods stage (see this for the first workshop in this series).
