WORKSHOP AIM

In recent years, the growing importance of functional correctness and 
the increased relevance of system quality properties (e.g. performance, 
reliability, security) have stimulated the emergence of analytical and 
modelling techniques for the design and development of software systems. 
With the increasing complexity and utilization of today's software 
systems, FESCA aims at addressing two research questions: (1) what role 
is played by the software design phase in the systematic addressing of 
the analytical and modelling challenges, and (2) how can formal and 
semi-formal techniques be effectively applied to make the issues easier 
to address automatically, with lower human intervention.


TOPICS

We encourage submissions on (semi-)formal techniques and their 
application that aid analysis, design and implementation of software 
applications, especially those employed in interconnected, communicating 
devices, devices interacting with the physical world, and cyber-physical 
systems. The topics include (but are not limited to):

* Formal modelling of component-based, timed and hybrid systems
* Algorithmic controller synthesis
* Correctness checking
    - Safety verification
    - Temporal properties and their formal verification
    - Interface compliance and contractual use of components
* Analysis and prediction of quality attributes
    - Formal prediction and analysis
    - Static and dynamic analysis
    - Instrumentation and monitoring approaches
* Industrial case studies and experience reports

We encourage not only mature research results, submissions presenting 
innovative ideas and early results of junior researchers are also of a 
particular interest.


SUBMISSIONS

Three kinds of submissions are solicited:

* regular papers (up to 15 pages) presenting original and unpublished 
work related to the workshop topics,
* position papers (up to 10 pages) presenting ideas and directions of 
interesting ongoing and yet unpublished research related to the workshop 
topics, and
* tool demonstration papers (up to 8 pages) presenting and highlighting 
the distinguishing features of a topic-related tool (co-developed by the 
authors).


PROCEEDINGS

Final versions of accepted regular, position, and tool papers will be 
published in a volume of the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical 
Computer Science (EPTCS).


IMPORTANT DATES

* Paper registration: December 20, 2015 (extended)

* Notification of acceptance: February 8, 2016  (extended)
* Final versions due: February 28, 2016 (extended)
* Workshop date:  April 3, 2016
