International Conference on Tools & Methods of Program Analysis (TMPA-2017) will take place in Moscow, Russia on 3 - 4 March 2017. The conference will be focused on the most important areas of software engineering: the analysis of software quality.
The challenges of software efficiency and correctness are key for the majority of knowledge-intensive industries in modern economy, including IT, financial sector, transportation, medicine, high-tech industries, and many others. The development of new instruments and methods of program analysis as well as the modification of existing ones is one of the necessary prerequisites to introduce innovation.
The purpose of the conference is raising awareness of progress in the software development industry and promoting cutting edge innovations in software testing, analysis and verification.
The conference program will include plenary reports and mini-courses delivered by experts, presentations selected by the Program Committee, presentations of on-going projects, short reports about new ideas, research that is underway or new tools. The body of experts will consist of leading Russian and foreign scientists working in the area of software development and analysis.
The Conference Organising Committee will provide free accommodation for conference speakers.
