The growing importance of model checking in hardware verification and the difficulty of producing correct software are driving a growing interest in the application of model checking to software. This leads to many challenges of scientific and practical interest, both in core model checking technology and in supporting techniques, such as program analyses and transformations that help automate abstraction of the data state and reduction of the control state.

This workshop covers all aspects of software model checking and supporting techniques, ranging from verification of high-level requirements specifications to model checking of low-level bytecode. Theoretical results and case studies are equally welcome. Techniques that provide limited guarantees or that work for limited classes of properties are also of interest. We especially encourage submissions that deal with general-purpose programming languages or other languages with similar features. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Model checking for conventional programming languages or other languages with similar features, such as recursion, references, dynamic memory allocation, or object-oriented constructs.
• Model checking for design notations: UML (including Statecharts), RSML, etc.
• Static analysis and state-space reductions: slicing, partial-order reductions, symmetry reductions, etc.
• Abstraction for software model checking
• Applications of model checking to software verification/debugging
• State-less model checking
• Advanced testing approaches, e.g., test-case generation via model checking.
• Heuristic search for model checking

The workshop has a dual mission: it aims to introduce people to the field of software model checking and to be a forum for describing new research. Hence, the workshop will consist of invited presentations by leaders in the field and a selection from the submitted papers.

The proceedings appeared as volume 55 number 3 of Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science.

The workshop will be held after CAV'01 in the same location (la Mutualite). CAV'01 follows FMICS'01 and SAS'01.
