2nd International Workshop on Formal and Model-Driven Techniques for
Developing Trustworthy Systems

Xi'an, China, November 16-17th, 2017

http://research.nii.ac.jp/fmmdd/index.html

In conjunction with ICFEM 2017

Workshop Overview

Development of trustworthy software-intensive systems constitutes one
of the major engineering challenges. Both functional correctness and
extra-functional properties such as safety, reliability and security
are equally important for ensuring system trustworthiness. To
efficiently cope with complexity caused by inherently heterogeneous
development environment, the designers often rely of model-driven
techniques that provide them with a comprehensive integrated notation.
Indeed, graphical models help to bridge the gap between informal
requirements and formal models, while various architectural modelling
frameworks enable the efficient multi-view analysis of diverse system
properties.
Though the benefits of using both formal and model-driven techniques
in the design of trustworthy systems are widely acknowledged, there is
still a lack of common understanding of the integration mechanisms. In
particular, there are the on-going debates about achieving a balance
between flexibility and rigor in integrated modelling, analysing an
interplay between functional and extra-functional properties, using
domain-specific frameworks as well as addressing trustworthiness at
different architectural levels.
The aims of this workshop are
- to advance the understanding in the area of developing and applying
formal and model-driven techniques for designing trustworthy systems
- to discuss the emerging issues in the area
- to improve the dialog between different research communities and
between academia and industry
- to discuss a roadmap of the future research in the area
- to create a forum for discussing and disseminating the new ideas and
the research results in the area

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Formal methods in model-driven development
- Model-driven development for formal methods
- Quality assurance for models and model transformation
- Model transformation for formal models
- Model transformation and refinement
- Formal and model driven approaches to engineering safety- critical,
fault-tolerant and secure systems
- Integrated analysis of functional and extra-functional properties of
trustworthy software-intensive systems
- Methods and tools integrating graphical and formal approaches
- Lightweight formal methods for dependability and security
- Formal and model-driven engineering of trustworthy cyber-physical systems
- Domain-specific formal and model-driven approaches

Submission Types
All submissions must be original, unpublished, and cannot be
simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers of the
following types are solicited:
- Research papers focusing on advanced and novel theories,
methodologies, or mechanisms
- Tool papers focusing on useful and practical tools, their
integration and interoperability
- Experience papers with a focus on deployment, evaluation and lessons learned

The proceedings will be made available online.

Submissions must consist of no more than 10 pages for Research papers
and 6 pages for Tool/Experience papers (including all the materials)
in the LNCS format.

ACM Symposium on Applied Computing

The ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has gathered scientists from
different areas of computing over the last thirty years. The forum represents
an opportunity to interact with different communities sharing an interest in
applied computing.

SAC 2018 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing
(SIGAPP), and will be hosted by the Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour
(UPPA), Bayonne, France.

Software Verification and Testing Track

The Software Verification and Testing track aims at contributing to the
challenge of improving the usability of formal methods in software
engineering. The track covers areas such as formal methods for verification
and testing, based on theorem proving, model checking, static analysis, and
run-time verification. We invite authors to submit new results in formal
verification and testing, as well as development of technologies to improve
the usability of formal methods in software engineering. Also are welcome
detailed descriptions of applications of mechanical verification to large
scale software. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
model checking
theorem proving
correct by construction development
model-based testing
software testing
symbolic execution
static and dynamic analysis
abstract interpretation
analysis methods for dependable systems
software certification and proof carrying code
fault diagnosis and debugging
verification and validation of large scale software systems
real world applications and case studies applying software testing and
verification
benchmarks and data sets for software testing and verification
Submissions Guidelines

Paper submissions must be original, unpublished work. Author(s) name(s) and
address(es) must not appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference
should be avoided and made in the third person. Submitted paper will undergo a
blind review process. Authors of accepted papers should submit an editorial
revision of their papers that fits within eight two-column pages (an extra two
pages, to a total of ten pages, may be available at a charge). Please comply
to this page limitation already at submission time. Accepted papers will be
published in the ACM SAC 2018 proceedings.

Paper registration is required, allowing the inclusion of papers, posters, or
SRC abstracts in the conference proceedings. An author or a proxy attending
SAC MUST present the work. This is a requirement for the presented work to be
included in the ACM/IEEE digital library. No-show of registered papers,
posters, and SRC abstracts will result in excluding them from the ACM/IEEE
digital library.

Student Research Competition

As previous editions, SAC 2018 organises a Student Research Competition (SRC)
Program to provide graduate students the opportunity to meet and exchange
ideas with researchers and practitioners in their areas of interest.

A condition of submission is that, if the submission is accepted, one
of the authors attends the conference to give the presentation.

Submitted papers must be in English presenting original research. They
must be unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere (this
does not apply to abstracts). In particular, simultaneous submission
of the same contribution to multiple ETAPS conferences is
forbidden.

Submissions must follow the formatting guidelines of Springer's
Lecture Notes in Computer Science and be submitted electronically in
pdf through the EasyChair author interface of the respective
conference.

Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be
rejected immediately.

FASE and POST will use a double-blind review process.

The proceedings of ETAPS 2018 will be published in *gold open
access*. The copyright of the papers will remain with the authors. It
is most likely that the proceedings will be published in the Advanced
Research in Computing and Software Science (ARCoSS) subline of
Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

- Research papers

FASE, FoSSaCS and TACAS have a page limit of 15 pp (excluding
bibliography of max 2 pp) for research papers, whereas POST allows at
most 20 pp (excluding bibliography of max 2 pp) and ESOP 25 pp
(excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

Additional material intended for the referees but not for publication
in the final version - for example, details of proofs - may be placed
in a clearly marked appendix that is not included in the page
limit. ETAPS referees are at liberty to ignore appendices and papers
must be understandable without them.

In addition to regular research papers, TACAS solicits also *case study
papers* (at most 15 pp, excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).

Both TACAS and FASE solicit also *regular tool papers* (at most 15 pp,
excluding bibliography of max 2 pp).


- Tool demonstration papers

Submissions should consist of two parts:

* The first part, at most 6 pages, should describe the tool
   presented. Please include the URL of the tool (if available) and
   provide information that illustrates the maturity and robustness of
   the tool. (This part will be included in the proceedings.)

* The second part, at most 6 pages, should explain how the
   demonstration will be carried out and what it will show, including
   screen dumps and examples. (This part will be not be included in the
   proceedings, but will be evaluated.

ESOP and FoSSaCS do not accept tool demonstration papers.
