==============================================================================

Bytecode, such as produced by e.g. Java and .NET compilers, has become
an important topic of interest, both for industry and academia.  The
industrial interest stems from the fact that bytecode is typically
used for the Internet and mobile devices (smartcards, phones, etc.),
where security is a major issue. Moreover, bytecode is
device-independent and allows dynamic loading of classes, which
provides an extra challenge for the application formal methods. In addition,
the unstructuredness of the code and the pervasive presence of the
operand stack also provide extra challenges for the analysis of bytecode.
This workshop will focus on the latest developments in the semantics,
verification, analysis, and transformation of bytecode.  Both new
theoretical results and tool demonstrations are welcome.
