The ERCIM Working Groups Dependable Embedded Systems (DES) and Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems (FMICS) seized the opportunity at the 20th anniversary event of ERCIM to have a joint technical meeting. Experiences were exchanged, projects and scientific work were presented, and further cooperation was discussed, especially in light of the successful jointly edited special theme 'Safety-Critical Software' in ERCIM News 75. The meeting took place on 27 May 2009 in Paris.
