Latin American Workshop on Formal Methods LAFM 2013
workshop affiliated to CONCUR 2013

Buenos Aires, Argentina, August 26th, 2013

Call for Papers

Formal approaches to software development are techniques that aim at developing 
quality software by employing notations, analysis processes, etc., based on 
mathematical grounds. Although traditionally they aim at increasing software 
correctness, formal techniques have been applied to various other aspects of 
software quality. Moreover, while originally formal methods employed complex 
"heavyweight" mechanisms for analysis (often manual or semi automated), there 
has been a progress towards embracing "lightweight", many times fully 
automated, analysis techniques, that broaden the adoption of formal methods in 
various software engineering contexts.


The objective of the Latin American Workshop on Formal Methods is bringing 
together researchers working in formal methods, and related areas such as 
automated analysis. In particular, we seek to provide a venue for Latin 
American researchers working in these areas, to promote their interaction and 
collaboration.

The workshop will be held as an associated even of CONCUR 2013, the 24th 
International Conference on Concurrency Theory. It will be held in Buenos 
Aires, Argentina’s capital and largest city, and one of the most interesting 
cultural places in South America.

Important dates:

Paper Submission Deadline: June 15, 2013 
Acceptance/Rejection Notification: July 7, 2013
Camera-ready Version: August 6, 2013
Submissions

We invite researchers to submit technical papers presenting original research 
on practical and theoretical aspects of formal methods and related areas. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Formal Specification and modeling;
Abstraction, modularization and refinement techniques;
Program synthesis;
Program construction from specifications;
Formal Models of concurrency, security and mobility;
Model checking;
Theorem proving;
Formal approaches to software analysis
Static analysis;
Formal techniques for software testing;
Experience reports on the use of formal methods;
Industrial case studies;
Tools for formal software development;
Formal methods for software/hardware development.


We accept submissions of regular research and industrial experience papers, 
that should not exceed 15 pages. We also accept short tool papers, which should 
not exceed 6 pages. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format via 
EasyChair, must conform to the EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org/). Accepted 
papers will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer 
Science (EPTCS).

Papers will be subject to peer-reviewing by at least 3 program committee 
members or additional reviewers, and will be carefully evaluated based on 
clarity, originality, significance and technical soundness. Authors of accepted 
papers must attend and present their work at the workshop.
