FMICS-AVoCS 2016
International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems
and Automated Verification of Critical Systems
http://fmics-avocs.isti.cnr.it/
26-28 September 2016
CNR, Pisa, Italy
+++++++++++++++ CALL FOR RESEARCH IDEAS +++++++++++++++
The aim of the FMICS workshop series is to provide a forum for
researchers who
are interested in the development and application of formal methods in
industry.
The aim of the AVoCS workshop series is to contribute to the interaction and
exchange of ideas among members of the international research community
on tools
and techniques for the verification of critical systems. In 2016, FMICS
and AVoCS
join their forces to hold a workshop combining their themes on formal
methods and
automated verification. For FMICS, this is the 21st, for AVoCS the 16th
edition.
FMICS-AVoCS encourages the submissions of research ideas in order to
stimulate
discussions at the workshop. Reports on ongoing work or surveys on work
published
elsewhere are welcome. The Program Committee will select research ideas
on the
basis of submitted abstracts according to their significance and general
interest.
Authors of the best full papers and of excellent and novel research
ideas will
be invited to submit a journal version of their work to a special issue
of the
International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer.
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission of research ideas: August 10, 2016
Notification for research ideas: August 17, 2016
FMICS-AVoCS workshop: September 26-28, 2016
SUBMISSION
Research ideas must be written in English and should be submitted as PDF
files:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmicsavocs2016
Research ideas should not exceed 3 pages.
TOPICS of INTEREST include (but are not limited to):
- Design, specification, refinement, code generation and testing of
critical systems
based on formal methods
- Methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis,
certification,
debugging, learning, optimization and transformation of critical systems, in
particular distributed, real-time systems and embedded systems
- Automated verification (model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT
constraint
solving, abstract interpretation, etc.) of critical systems
- Verification and validation methods that address shortcomings of
existing methods
with respect to their industrial applicability (e.g., scalability and
usability issues)
- Tools for the development of formal design descriptions
- Case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of
formal methods,
focusing on lessons learned or identification of new research directions
- Impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process and
associated costs
- Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forums
