Opis

This volume contains the papers presented at the 7th International Symposium on Automated Technologyfor Veri?cation and Analysis held during October 13- 16 in Macao SAR, China. The primary objective of the ATVA conferences - mains the same: to exchangeand promote the latest advances of state-of-the-art researchon theoretical and practical aspects of automated analysis, veri?cation, and synthesis. Among 74 research papers and 10 tool papers submitted to ATVA 2009, the Program Committee accepted 23 as regular papers and 3 as tool papers. In all, 33 experts from 17 countries worked hard to make sure that every submission received a rigorous and fair evaluation. In addition, the program included three excellenttutorialsandkeynotetalksbyMarkGreenstreet(U.BritishColumbia), Orna Grumberg (Technion), and Bill Roscoe (Oxford University). The conf- ence organizers were truly grateful to have such distinguished researchers as keynote speakers. Many worked hard and o?ered their valuable time so generously to make ATVA 2009 successful. First of all, the conference organizers thank all 229 - searchers who worked hard to complete and submit papers to the conference. ThePCmembers, reviewers, andSteeringCommitteemembersalsodeserves- cial recognition. Without them, a competitive and peer-reviewed international symposium simply cannot take place. Many organizations sponsored the symposium. They include: The United Nations University, International Institute of Software Technology (UNU-IIST); Macao Polytechnic Institute (MPI); Macao POST;and FormalMethods Europe (FME). The conference organizers thank them for their generous support and assistance.
