LAST CALL FOR PAPERS ********************************************************************** 10th International Conference on integrated Formal Methods (iFM 2013)
June 10 - 14, 2013 - Turku, Finland http://www.it.abo.fi/iFM2013/ ********************************************************************** IMPORTANT DATES - Abstract Submission: January 10, 2013 - Paper submission: January 17, 2013 - Paper notification: March 11, 2013 - Final version paper: March 31, 2013 OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE Applying formal methods may involve modeling different aspects of a system which are best expressed using different formalisms. Correspondingly, different analysis techniques may be used to examine different system views, different kinds of properties, or simply in order to cope with the sheer complexity of the system. The iFM conference series seeks to further research into hybrid approaches to formal modeling and analysis; i.e., the combination of (formal and semi-formal) methods for system development, regarding modeling and analysis, and covering all aspects from language design through verification and analysis techniques to tools and their integration into software engineering practice. Areas of interest include but are not limited to: - Formal and semiformal modelling notations; - Integration of formal methods into software engineering practice; - Refinement; - Theorem proving; - Tools; - Logics; - Model checking; - Model transformations; - Semantics; - Static Analysis; - Type Systems; - Verification; - Case Studies; - Experience reports INVITED SPEAKERS iFM 2013 will have the following keynote speakers: - Jean-Raymond Abrial, Marseille, France: From Z to B and then Event-B: Assigning Proofs to Meaningful Programs - Susanne Graf, VERIMAG, France: Integrating Distributed Control over Systems with Priorities - Cosimo Laneve, University of Bologna, Italy: An Algebraic Theory for Web Services Contracts - Kim Larsen, Aalborg University, Denmark: Statistical Model Checking with Priced Timed Automata SPECIAL ISSUES To celebrate the 10th edition of iFM, there will be special issues of the Springer journals - Formal Aspects of Computing - Software and Systems Modeling The best papers from iFM 2013 will be invited for these special issues, complemented by an open call for papers, and undergo a separate peer-review process according to the usual scientific standards of these journals. WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS There will be two days of workshops and tutorials before the iFM conference. The conference will take place June 12-14, 2013 and the tutorials and workshops June 10-11, 2013.

The conference proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions must be in PDF format, using the Springer LNCS style files; we suggest to use the LaTeX2e package (the llncs.cls class file, available in llncs2e.zip and the typeinst.dem available in typeinst.zip as a template for your contribution). Papers should not exceed 15 pages in length. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. Submissions should be made using the iFM 2013 Easychair web site: https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=ifm2013 All accepted papers must be presented at the conference. Their authors must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement. At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the conference by the early date, to be indicated by the organizers, and present the paper. iFM PROGRAMME COMMITTEE CHAIRS: - Einar Broch Johnsen, University of Oslo, Norway - Luigia Petre, Åbo Akademi University, Finland iFM 2013 TUTORIALS and WORKSHOPS CHAIR Pontus Boström, Åbo Akademi University, Finland iFM 2013 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE CHAIR Luigia Petre, Åbo Akademi University, Finland PROGRAM COMMITTEE - Erika Abraham, RWTH Aachen University, Germany; - Elvira Albert, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain; - Marcello Bonsangue, Leiden University, the Netherlands; - Phillip J Brooke, Teesside University, UK; - Ana Cavalcanti, University of York, UK; - Dave Clarke, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium; - John Derrick, Unversity of Sheffield, UK; - Jin Song Dong, National University of Singapore, Singapore; - Kerstin Eder, University of Bristol, UK; - John Fitzgerald, Newcastle University, UK; - Andy Galloway, University of York, UK; - Marieke Huisman, University of Twente, the Netherlands; - Reiner Hähnle, Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany; - Einar Broch Johnsen, University of Oslo, Norway; - Peter Gorm Larsen, Aarhus University, Denmark; - Diego Latella, ISTI-CNR, Pisa, Italy; - Michael Leuschel, University of Duesseldorf, Germany; - Shaoying Liu, Hosei University, Japan; - Michele Loreti, University of Florence, Italy; - Dominique Mery, LORIA and University of Lorraine, France; - Stephan Merz, INRIA Lorraine, France; - Richard Paige, University of York, UK; - Luigia Petre, Åbo Akademi University, Finland; - Kristin Yvonne Rozier, NASA Ames Research Center, USA; - Philipp Ruemmer, Uppsala University, Sweden; - Thomas Santen, European Microsoft Innovation Center, Germany; - Ina Schaefer, Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany; - Steve Schneider, University of Surrey, UK; - Emil Sekerinski, McMaster University, Canada; - Graeme Smith, University of Queensland, Australia; - Colin Snook, University of Southampton, UK; - Kenji Taguchi, AIST, Japan; - Helen Treharne, University of Surrey, UK; - Heike Wehrheim, University of Paderborn, Germany; - Herbert Wiklicky, Imperial College, UK; - Gianluigi Zavattaro, University of Bologna, Italy ********************************************************************** This call for papers and additional information about the conference can be found at http://www.it.abo.fi/iFM2013 For information regarding the conference you can contact: [email protected] ---- [[ Petri Nets World: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/ ]] [[ Mailing list FAQ: ]] [[ http://www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/TGI/PetriNets/pnml/faq.html ]] [[ Post messages/summary of replies: ]] [[ [email protected] ]]
