Symposium on Applied Computing been a primary gathering forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers, software engineers, and application developers from around the world over the past thirty years. SAC 2016 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), and will be hosted by the University of Pisa and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna University, Italy.

The Software Verification and Testing track aims at contributing to the challenge of improving the usability of formal methods in software engineering. The track covers areas such as formal methods for verification and testing, based on theorem proving, model checking, static analysis, and run-time verification. These areas include a broad range of topics, but are not limited to:

- Model checking
- Theorem proving
- Correct by construction development
- Model-based testing
- Verification-based testing
- Symbolic execution
- Static and run-time analysis
- Abstract interpretation
- Analysis methods for dependable systems
- Software certification and proof carrying code
- Fault diagnosis and debugging
- Verification of large scale software systems
- Real world applications and case studies applying software verification
