Lausanne, Switzerland, October 6, 2005

Next event: The meeting in 2006 will be hosted by ETH Zurich and University of Lugano, Switzerland,
and will take place in May 2006 at the Centro Stefano Franscini, located on Monte Verita near Ascona.

Scope

The Alpine Verification Meeting is an informal meeting on current problems in formal verification. The goal of the meeting is to bring together researchers from the region to update each other on their research, to have time for discussion, also on possible collaborations. The meeting is open to the public. Presentations are by invitation only: we invited two speakers from every 'alpine' country, i.e., two each from Austria, Germany, France, Italy, and Switzerland. This year's meeting is hosted by EPFL, Switzerland.

Location

EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, building BC (the brand new glass building at the south-west corner of campus, right side in the picture), room BC 01 (ground floor).

Directions from Geneva airport to EPFL: Either (cheapest) take the train from Geneva to Renens and then take the Metro (city train) from Renens to EPFL, or (fastest) take the train from Geneva to Morges or Lausanne and then take a taxi to EPFL (there are plenty of taxis outside these stations, Morges-EPFL should cost about 30CHF, Lausanne-EPFL should cost about 40CHF). For timetables check this link. The hotel in St. Sulpice is close to EPFL (approx. 800m). Bus 57 goes from EPFL metro station to the center of St. Sulpice. From the center of St. Sulpice it is a very short distance.

Social Event

We will take a bus from the EPFL to the village Epesses (picture), which is situated in the Lavaux region, a beautiful area on the north shore of Lake Geneva with lots of vineyards (picture). There, we will first do a short walk through the vineyards, which will be concluded with a wine tasting session in one of the local cellars. Finally, we will walk to the restaurant where we will have dinner.
