IFIP 1.8 workshop on FORMAL METHODS FOR EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

I have received the following announcement from Bas Luttik. I am happy to post it here since the event will be of interest to concurrency theorists and people working on formal methods at large, many of whom will be in Eindhoven for FM week.  (Not to mention the fact that I am the outgoing chair of IFIP WG 1.8.)
