FMATS3 was held at Microsoft Research Cambridge on 1st and 2nd May 2014. This year we had additional talks from the individual projects affiliated to the Research Institute in Automated Program Analysis and Verification (RI2). The event was attended by 47 participants comprising researchers from academia, industry and government and included talks on 16 different topics (see final programme). On the 2nd day, we had a poster session along with bite-size introductions from nine winners of the “PhD Prizes”. In the discussion session on the future of the FMATS workshop, it was agreed that the FMATS community should be opened to other complementary networks like CryptoForma and adopt ideas from other similar events like NSA’s HCSS conference.
The future organisation of FMATS will be led by the Director of RI2, Professor Philippa Gardner of Imperial College London.
