--------
OVERVIEW
--------
The emergence of software engineering as a new term in the discipline
of Computer Science / Computing / Informatics created significant
challenges for educators. Embracing this new concept required a
transition from a discipline of lone wolves and artistic heroes to a
discipline of engineers focusing on product development in a planned
process under constrained time, budget, and other resources but leading
to a predictable quality.

One of the issues involved is the use of formal methods and usually
they are taught at least once in a computer science curriculum. We now
know how to use formal notations to write specifications, use
refinement calculus to gradually transform a specification into a
correct implementation, and use Hoare or Dijkstra's logics to prove
programs correct with the same degree of the rigor that we apply to
mathematical theorems. But, none of these techniques is easy to use by
ordinary practitioners to deal with real software projects, and
teaching formal methods and introducing at least one formal
specification language still turns out to be a real challenge.

The overall objectives of the FMSEET 2015 workshop are

* to find out/identify the status-quo of formal methods education at
   Universities and research institutions,
* to come up with a set of recommendations for ways in improving our
   lectures and curricula (in respect to motivation as well as skills),
   and
* to establish a forum for future knowledge-exchange.

Consequently, FMSEET 2015 focuses on ways in teaching formal methods,
tools, teaming and other skills needed by software engineering
practitioners in today's context. Innovative approaches are
particularly welcome.

------
TOPICS
------
Quality submissions covering curriculum development, empirical studies,
personal or institutional experience, conceptual or theoretical work
are particularly invited. The list below indicates areas in the focus
of FMSEET 2015. Submissions on additional topics consistent with the
central themes of the conference are also welcome.

* Methodological aspects of formal methods;
* Teaching high quality formal specifications;
* Formal methods in the software engineering curriculum;
* Best practices in formal methods education;
* Successes and failures of formal methods;
* Cooperative projects to further education and training;
* Languages and tools for formal methods education;
* Formal engineering methods versus formal methods;
* New challenges due to agility and open source;
* Continuous education to cope with technological change

----------
SUBMISSION
