FMICS-AVoCS 2016

International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems
and Automated Verification of Critical Systems

http://fmics-avocs.isti.cnr.it/

26-29 September 2016
Pisa, Italy

+++++++ Preliminary Call for Papers ++++++++

The aim of the FMICS workshop series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. The aim of the AVoCS workshop series is to contribute to the interaction and
exchange of ideas among members of the international research community on
tools and techniques for the verification of critical systems. In 2016, FMICS and
AVoCS join their forces to hold a workshop combining their themes on Formal
Methods and Automated Verification. For FMICS, this will be the 21st, for AVoCS
the 16th edition.

In particular, FMICS-AVoCS 2016 aims to bring together scientists and engineers that are active in the area of formal methods, develop tools and techniques for the automated verification of critical systems, and are interested in exchanging their
experiences in the industrial usage of these methods and tools.

Important Dates

Abstract submission: April 18, 2016
Paper submission: April 25, 2016
Notification: June 19, 2016
Final version: July 10, 2016
Workshop: September 26-29, 2016

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

- Design, specification, refinement, code generation and testing of critical systems
based on formal methods
- Methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis, certification,
debugging, learning, optimization and transformation of critical systems, in
particular distributed, real-time systems and embedded systems
- Automated verification (model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT constraint
solving, abstract interpretation, etc.) of critical systems
- Verification and validation methods that address shortcomings of existing methods with respect to their industrial applicability (e.g., scalability and usability issues)
- Tools for the development of formal design descriptions
- Case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of formal methods,
focusing on lessons learned or identification of new research directions
- Impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process and
associated costs
- Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forums

Paper Submission

Submissions must describe authors' original research work and results. Submitted papers must not have previously appeared in a journal or conference with published proceedings and must not be concurrently submitted to any other peer-reviewed workshop, symposium, conference or archival journal. Any partial overlap with any
such published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated.

Submissions should clearly demonstrate relevance to industrial application.
Case study papers should identify lessons learned, validate theoretical results (such as scalability of methods), or provide specific motivation for further research
and development.

Submissions should not exceed 15 pages formatted according to the LNCS style (Springer), and should be submitted as Portable Document Format (PDF) files using
the EasyChair submission site:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmicsavocs2016

All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee who will make a
selection among the submissions based on the novelty, soundness and
applicability of the presented ideas and results.
