High integrity software must not only meet correctness and performance criteria but also satisfy stringent safety and/or security demands, typically entailing certification against a relevant standard. A significant factor affecting whether and how such requirements are met is the chosen language technology and its supporting tools: not just the programming language(s) but also languages for expressing specifications, program properties, domain models, and other attributes of the software or overall system.

HILT 2014 will provide a forum for experts from academia/research, industry, and government to present the latest findings in designing, implementing, and using language technology for high integrity software. To this end we are soliciting technical papers, experience reports (including experience in teaching), and tutorial proposals on a broad range of relevant topics.

Conference Keynote Speakers

The conference will feature keynote and invited presentations from leading experts in language technology and high-integrity systems.

Oregon was a land claimed by France, Spain, Britain, Russia, Connecticut (Western Reserve), Native Americans, and perhaps several others. When the Louisiana Purchase transferred the land to the United States, Oregon was still disputed territory. The 1805-1806 Lewis & Clark Expedition reaching Oregon in the Pacific Northwest, cemented its ownership by the United States of America. Because of the wondrous descriptions of the Oregon Valley, Oregon was the main destination of settlers in their wagon trains from St. Louis until the California Gold Rush in 1849. Oregon became a state in 1859.
