===================================================================================== The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Formal Methods Integration - FMi 2014 -
In conjunction with the 15th IEEE IRI 2014 http://www.ieee-iri.org San Francisco, USA, August 13-15, 2014 ===================================================================================== ---------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------- Abstract Submission deadline: March 28, 2014 Paper submission deadline: April 4, 2014 Paper notification: May 14, 2014 Camera-ready paper due: May 24, 2014 Registration due: May 24, 2014 -------------- SCOPE -------------- Formal methods ensure software system reliability based on theoretical computer science fundamentals. Complex systems often involve different formalisms to deal with the modeling of their different aspects, as each formalism is specific to only some system aspects and none is perfectly supporting all aspect constructs and their related semantics. Accordingly, different analysis techniques are required to check the different system views and verify different kinds of properties. Formalism integration allows for accurately specifying each aspect and verifying its corresponding properties. The FMi workshop aims at further research into hybrid approaches to formal modeling and analysis. It seeks contributions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of integrating methods, either formal or semi-formal, for system development, covering all engineering development phases from user requirements through design and analysis techniques to tools. The workshop also encourages new initiatives of building bridges between informal, semi-formal, and formal notations. Authors are invited to submit both research and tool papers. -------------- TOPICS -------------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - scalable formal methods - component-based specification and analysis - integrated software/hardware architectures and their description languages - hybrid and embedded systems modeling and analysis - object and multi-agent systems modeling and analysis - requirement analysis and specification - software and hardware specification, verification, and validation - theorem proving and decision procedures - formal aspects of software evolution and maintenance - formal methods for re-engineering and reuse - formal language integration - programming language integration - semi-formal (UML, SysML, ...) and formal model integration - informal and formal language integration - integration of formal methods into software engineering practice - secure protocol integration - integrated analysis techniques - tools integration - integration of formal methods in education - integration of formal methods in industry - integration of formal methods in security --------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION --------------------------- Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication. Submissions will undergo a rigorous review process handled by the Technical Program Committee. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Only electronic submissions in PDF format through the EasyChair submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ieeefmi2014 will be considered. Papers must be in English, up to 8 pages in IEEE format, including references and appendices. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as formatting guidelines, can be found on the paper submission instructions available at the main conference website. ----------------------------- PAPER PUBLICATION ----------------------------- At least one of the authors must register and present the paper, if accepted. Registered papers will be published as workshop papers in the IEEE IRI conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Presented papers will be published by Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing, edited by Springer. Besides, best papers will be invited to be expanded and considered for publication in a special issue of a peer reviewed journal (pending). -------------------------- WORKSHOP CHAIR -------------------------- Thouraya Bouabana-Tebibel, LCSI Laboratory, Ecole nationale Supérieure d'Informatique - ESI, Algiers, Algeria -------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE -------------------------------- Erika Ábrahám, RWTH Aachen University, Germany Yamine Ait Ameur, University of Toulouse, France Ade Azurat, Fasilkom UI, Indonesia Luis Barbosa, Universidade do Minho, Portugal Luciano Baresi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Kamel Barkaoui, CNAM, France Simona Bernardi, University of Zaragoza, Spain Marcello Bonsangue, Leiden University, The Netherlands Phillip J Brooke, Teesside University, UK Radu Calinescu, University of York, UK Allaoua Chaoui, University of Constantine, Algeria Krishnendu Chatterjee, Institute of Science and Technology, Austria Marsha Chechik, University of Toronto, Canada John Derrick, University of Sheffield, UK Kerstin I.
