Context and Objectives

Program equivalence is arguably one of the hardest and most interesting problems in programming languages and software verification. It has attracted the interest of several communities, ranging from the field of denotational semantics and the problem of Full Abstraction, to software verification and Regression Testing. The aim of this workshop is to bring together the different approaches and techniques of the current state of the art and to facilitate the cross-pollination of research between these areas.
