IEEE TC-ECBS and IFIP WG10.1 2nd Joint Workshop on Formal Specification of Computer-Based Systems Washington, D.C., April 20, 2001 (following the IEEE ECBS'2001 Conference http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/ecbs) Topic The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to discuss both completed work and work-in-progress related to formal specifications of computer-based systems, software, hardware and hardware/software applications. We encourage, in particular, studies focusing on integrating formal techniques into systems design and implementation and on various applications or case-studies. Submissions Please submit 3-5 page extended abstracts in Acrobat PDFor in MS Word RTF by e-mail to <<[log in to unmask]>> by March 15, 2001.
