The ABZ conference series is dedicated to the cross-fertilization of state-based and machine-based formal methods. Abstract State Machines (ASM), Alloy, B, TLA, VDM, and Z are examples of these methods. They share a common conceptual foundation and are widely used in both academia and industry for the rigorous design and analysis of hardware and software systems. The ABZ conferences aim to be a forum for the vital exchange of knowledge and experience among the research communities around different formal methods.
