Abstract

This special section features six papers concerned with state-of-the-art research in verification, model checking, and abstract interpretation; three research areas that share the goal to provide mathematically well-founded techniques for sound semantic analysis of computer systems. While each area takes a particular view on this problem, there is a growing awareness that a closer collaboration is fruitful and in the last decade methods that combine ideas from different areas have been developed. The papers in this special section are carefully revised and extended versions of articles that have first been presented at the VMCAI 2009 conference.
