The 16th International Z User Meeting (ZUM 2006) will be held at the (New) Loyola College Graduate Center, Columbia, MD, in suburban Washington DC, USA. This is the first time that ZUM will be held outside Europe.

Z is a leading formal notation, used in formal methods by both academia and industry, for the specification and verification of both hardware and software systems.

The program committee invites authors to submit papers on or related to the formal specification notation Z, in particular, and formal methods in general, for presentation and inclusion in the published Proceedings to be distributed after the conference. The schedule for submissions is as follows:

               Submission of draft papers:             31 January 2006

               Notification of acceptance:               (New) 27 February 2006

               ZUM 2006 in Columbia:                    (New) Tuesday 25 April 2006

               Final copy for Proceedings:              8 June 2006

 

Note: The exact date and length of the conference as part of the Systems and Software Week is to be decided depending on submissions. It is planned that papers will be included as a part of the IEEE SEW proceedings.
