<div><br></div><div>Since 1997, ICFEM has provided a forum for those interested in the</div><div>application of formal engineering methods to computer systems.</div><div>Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and government,</div>
<div>are encouraged to attend, and to help advance the state of the art. We</div><div>are interested in work that has been incorporated into real production</div><div>systems, and in theoretical work thatpromises to bring practical,</div>
<div>tangible benefit.</div><div><br></div><div>ICFEM 2011 is organised by Teesside University and will be held in the</div><div>historic Durham City in the North East of England</div><div>(<a href="http://www.thisisdurham.com/">http://www.thisisdurham.com/</a>).</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>AREA AND TOPICS</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions related to the following principal themes are encouraged, but</div><div>any topics relevant to the field of formal methods and their support</div>
<div>environments will also be considered:</div><div><br></div><div>* Abstraction and refinement</div><div>* Formal specification and modelling</div><div>* Software verification</div><div>* Program analysis</div><div>* Software model checking</div>
<div>* Formal approaches to software testing</div><div>* Formal methods for object and component systems</div><div>* Concurrency and software transaction memory</div><div>* Formal methods for cloud computing</div><div>* Software inspection</div>
<div>* Formal methods for cyber-physical systems</div><div>* Tool development and integration</div><div>* Software safety, security and reliability</div><div>* Experiments involving verified systems</div><div>* Applications of formal methods</div>
<div>* Formal model-based development and code generation</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION</div><div><br></div><div>Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be</div><div>
concurrently</div><div>considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will be judged on the</div><div>basis of originality, contribution to the field, technical and presentation</div><div>quality, and relevance to the conference. The proceedings will be published</div>
<div>in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.</div><div><br></div><div>Papers should be written in English and not exceed 16 pages in LNCS format</div><div>(see <a href="http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html">http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html</a> for details). Submission</div>
<div>should be done through the ICFEM 2011 submission page</div><div>(<a href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfem2011">https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfem2011</a>), handled by the</div><div>EasyChair conference system. All queries should be sent to the e-mail</div>
