Programme
Fourth International Workshop on
Verification and Program Transformation


The Fourth International Workshop on Verification and Program Transformation (VPT-2016) aims to bring together researchers working in two different areas, Verification and Program Transformation. VPT 2016 will be an ETAPS 2016 Workshop, and held on April 2nd, 2016, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

The workshop will provide a forum where all interactions of the two fields can be presented and discussed.
