This special issue is devoted to the scope of the international
workshop on Automated Verification of Critical Systems (AVoCS 2011 -
see http://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/AVoCS2011/) which
Newcastle University hosted in September 2011.
AVoCS is devoted to tools and techniques for the verification
of critical systems. These topics are to be interpreted broadly
and inclusively.

Typical, but not exclusive topics of interest are:

- Model Checking,
- Automatic and Interactive Theorem Proving,
- Abstract Interpretation,
- Specification and Refinement,
- Requirements Capture and Analysis,
- Verification of Software and Hardware,
- Verification of Security-Critical Systems,
- Specification and Verification of Fault Tolerance and Resilience
- Probabilistic and Real-Time Systems,
- Dependable Systems,
- Verified System Development, and
- Industrial Applications.

Submission to this special issue is completely open. We expect
original articles (typically 20-30 pages) that present high-quality
contributions that have not been previously published in an archival
venue and that must not be simultaneously submitted for publication
elsewhere.

Submissions must comply with SCP's author guidelines (see
