IFM 2007 Sixth International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods 2nd - 6th July 2007, Oxford, UK
http://www.ifm2007.org First Call for Technical Papers The design and analysis of computing systems presents a significant challenge: systems need to be understood at many different levels of abstraction, and examined from many different perspectives. Formal methods---languages, tools, and techniques with a sound, mathematical basis---can be used to develop a thorough understanding, and to support rigorous examination. However, further research into effective integration is required if these methods are to have a significant impact outside academia. The IFM series of conferences seeks to promote that research, to bring together the researchers carrying it out, and to disseminate the results of that research among the wider academic and industrial community. Original, technical contributions are invited in all aspects of formal methods integration, including: * the application of one or more formal methods as an integral part of a process of analysis or design * the development or extension of one method, based upon the inclusion of ideas or concepts from others * the addition of formality to informal or semi-formal modelling languages, tools, or techniques * the combination of different formal methods, in terms of semantic integration or practical application The programme of accepted contributions will be supported by a series of workshops and tutorials, including a doctoral symposium. Important dates: The deadline for full paper submission is January 29th, 2007. Authors will be notified on or before March 19th, 2007. Details of the electronic submission process will be made available at the conference website. Conference location: IFM 2007 will be held at St Anne's College, Oxford: one of the larger colleges of the University, with excellent facilities for conferences and workshops. Additional facilities will be available in the new Computing Laboratory building, less than 5 minutes' walk from the College grounds. Oxford is easily reached from most UK cities, and is 70 minutes from the country's largest airport.
