Please find the NFM 2014 Call for Participation below. With no
registration fee and very reasonable costs for accommodations this
conference is an excellent value to attend even without presenting a
paper. It is also a great place to bring students for exposure to
real-world applications!
**************************************************
The Sixth NASA Formal Methods Symposium
http://www.NASAFormalMethods.org/
29 April - 1 May 2014
NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, USA
**************************************************
Registration (free!)
--------------------
There will be no registration fee for participants. All interested
individuals, including non-US citizens, are welcome to attend, to listen
to the talks, and to participate in discussions; however, all attendees
must register.
Registration URL: http://www.nasaformalmethods.org/?page_id=160
We strongly encourage participants to register early and reserve
accomodations. A block of hotel rooms are available at $98.00 per night
for reservations made before April 7. The registration deadline is April 22.
Keynote Speakers:
-----------------
* "NASA Future Challenges in Formal Methods" by Bill McAllister, Chief,
Safety and Mission Assurance, International Space Station Safety Panels,
Avionics and Software Branch
* "Theorem Proving and the Real Numbers: Overview and Challenges" by
Larry Paulson, University of Cambridge, UK
* "Compositional Temporal Synthesis" by Moshe Y. Vardi, Rice University, USA
Panel: "Future Directions of Specifications for Formal Methods"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Panelists:
Matt Dwyer, University of Nebraska, USA
Hadas Kress-Gazit, Cornell University, USA
Moshe Y. Vardi, Rice University, USA
Panel Description: Specifications are required for all applications of
formal methods yet extracting specifications for real-life safety
critical systems often proves to be a huge bottleneck or even an
insurmountable hurdle to the application of formal methods in practice.
This is the state for safety-critical systems today and as these systems
grow more complex, more pervasive, and more powerful in the future,
there is not a clear path even for maintaining the bleak status quo.
Therefore, we propose highlighting this issue in the home of an
important critical system, the Mission Control Center of NASA's most
famous critical systems, and asking our panelists where we can go from here.
