 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Conference Theme
 ----------------

 B and Z are two important formal methods which share a common conceptual
 origin; each is widely used in both academia and industry for the
 specification and verification of both hardware and software systems.
 In  ZB2005 the B and Z communities are coming together to hold
 a joint  conference which will simultaneously incorporate the
 15th International  Conference of Z Users and the 6th International
 Conference on the B Method.  Although organised logistically as an
 integral event, editorial control of  the joint conference remains
 vested in two separate programme committees  which will respectively
 determine its B and Z content.

 Accordingly, the two programme committees invite authors to submit
 papers on the B Method or the Z formal notation in particular, or on
 the use of similar formal approaches and formal methods in general. In
 particular, the programme committees encourage contributions focused
 on industrial applications, and therefore ask authors to specify if
 their submission is to be reviewed as an industrial application (see
 below).  Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and
 included in the proceedings published by Springer.

 The conference will also feature a range of contributions from
 distinguished invited speakers drawn from both industry and academia.
 The invited speakers will address significant recent industrial
 applications of formal methods, as well as important academic advances
 serving to enhance their potency and widen their applicability.

 Besides its formal sessions the conference will feature tool
 demonstrations and publishers' displays. It is also envisaged that a
 programme of special tutorials may precede the main conference.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Topics
 ------

 The topics of the conference include, but are not limited to:

     - Industrial applications and case studies using Z or using B
     - Integration of model-based specification methods in the software
       development lifecycle
     - Derivation of hardware-software architecture from model-based
       specifications
     - Expressing and validating requirements through formal models
     - Theoretical issues in formal development, (e.g. issues
       in refinement, the proof process, or proof validation, etc.)
     - Software testing versus proof-oriented development
     - Tools supporting the Z notation and the B method
     - Development by composition of specifications
     - Validation of COTS by model-based specification methods
     - Z and B extensions and/or standardization

 Further Information
 -------------------

 General enquiries about the meeting may be directed to:

 Steve Schneider (Conference Chair)
 Department of Computing
 School of Electronics and Physical Sciences
 University of Surrey
 Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7XH

 On-line and up-to-date conference information may be found under the
 following World Wide Web URL:

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Submissions
 -----------

 Papers should describe original work, not submitted or published
 elsewhere.  Electronic submissions are strongly encouraged, and
 submission details will be posted on http://www.zb2005.org/  The
 proceedings will be published in the Springer-Verlag LNCS Series, and
 authors are therefore urged to follow the style guidelines at

        http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

 NB: Authors must nominate which Programme Committee (Z or B) they wish
 to consider their submission initially. Either committee may refer a
 paper to the other committee for consideration.

 Authors must also specify if their submission is to be reviewed as an
 industrial paper.  In this case reviewing criteria more appropriate to
 industrial submissions will be applied.

 Papers should be no longer than 20 pages (when formatted in the LNCS
 style) with a preferred length of about 15 pages, and should be
 written in English. Each submission should include a cover page
 containing: title, abstract, keywords, postal and email addresses of
 all authors, voice and fax number of contact author, and a note of
 which Programme Committee should initially consider the
 paper. Industrial applications are especially encouraged. Authors of
 accepted papers will be expected to provide their final versions in
 LaTeX format to enable electronic submission in the LNCS Series.

 Tutorials
 ---------

 Proposals and enquiries for tutorial sessions should be sent to the
 tutorial session chair:

 Ken Robinson (Tutorial Session Chair)
 School of Computer Science and Engineering.
 University of New South Wales,
 Sydney 2052 NSW, Australia
 email: [log in to unmask]

 The deadline for tutorial submissions is November 22nd 2004.

 Tools
 -----

 Proposals are invited for tool demonstration and exhibitions,
 including poster displays of current projects and products.  Proposals
 and general enquiries should be sent to the tools chair:

 James Heather (Tools Chair)
 Department of Computing
 School of Electronics and Physical Sciences
 University of Surrey
 Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7XH
