Doctoral symposium

The ABZ PhD Symposium is an international forum for PhD students studying all areas related to state based formal methods for software and system development.

This forum is a good opportunity for PhD students to

bring together PhD students and established and known researchers of the state based formal methods community,
provide PhD students with fruitful feedback and advice on their research approach,
enable PhD students to interact with other PhD students and to stimulate exchange of ideas suggestions and experiences among participants,
provide PhD students an opportunity to present, share and discuss their research in a constructive and critical atmosphere.

The ABZ 2023 Doctoral Symposium will be part of the 10th ABZ 2023 International Conference on Rigorous State Based Methods in Nancy, France.
