The 15th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal
Methods, SEFM 2017, will be held in Trento, Italy, September 6-10, 2017.

The conference aims to bring together leading researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry and government, to advance the state
of the art in formal methods, to facilitate their uptake in the software
industry, and to encourage their integration within practical software
engineering methods and tools.

The topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to the
following aspects of software engineering and formal methods:

- New frontiers in software architecture: self-adaptive, service-oriented
  and cloud computing systems; component, object and multi-agent systems;
  real-time, hybrid and embedded systems; reconfigurable systems.

- Software verification and testing: model checking, theorem proving and
  decision procedures; verification and validation; probabilistic
  verification and synthesis; testing, re-engineering and reuse.

- Software development methods: requirement analysis, modeling,
  specification and design; light-weight and scalable formal methods;
  software evolution, maintenance and reuse.

- Application and technology transfer: case studies, best practices and
  experience reports; tool integration; education; HCI, interactive
  systems and human error analysis.

- Security and safety: security and mobility; safety-critical,
  fault-tolerant and secure systems; software certification.

- Design principles: programming languages; domain specific languages;
  type theory; abstraction and refinement.

Invited Speakers:
We are pleased to have three invited speakers for SEFM 2017:

- Marsha Chechik, University of Toronto, Canada

- Jeff Kramer, Imperial College London, UK

                     Call for Participation: FORMALISE 2017
5th FME Workshop on Formal Methods in Software Engineering (27th May 2017)
  co-located with ICSE 2017 (May 20th–May 28th), Buenos Aires, Argentina
                           http://www.formalise.org/

INTRODUCTION
FormaliSE is a yearly workshop on Formal Methods in Software Engineering.
FormaliSE is organized by FME (Formal Methods Europe) and is co-located with
ICSE (International Conference on Software Engineering). The main goal of the
workshop is to foster integration between the formal methods and the software
engineering communities. The lack of formalization in key places makes
software
engineering overly sensitive to the weaknesses that are inevitable in the
complex activities behind software creation. This is where formal methods
(FMs)
have a huge opportunity.

The PROGRAM features presentations of 11 research papers. Nazareno Aguirre
(CONICET and Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto) will give a keynote
presentation. poster sessions will be held during the breaks. For details on
the program see http://www.formalise.org/program.

VENUE
FormaliSE 2017 will be held at the Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina
(UCA), see http://www.uca.edu.ar/index.php/home/index/en. This location is
only
a 20 minute walk from the main conference site: the Sheraton Buenos Aires
Hotel
and Convention Center (http://www.sheratonbuenosaires.com/), host of the 39th
International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2017).

REGISTRATION
You can register for the workshop at http://icse2017.gatech.edu/?q=attending.
Note that early bird registration closes on 1 April 2017!

ACCOMODATION
A number of hotel rooms have been blocked for ICSE 2017 participants at
specially negotiated rates, see http://icse2017.gatech.edu/attending#hotel for
details.

                                 TIME 2017

   24th International Symposium on Temporal Representation and Reasoning

                    Mons (Belgium), 16-18 October 2017

                           Second Call for Papers

Aims and scope
--------------
TIME 2017 aims to bring together researchers interested in reasoning
about temporal aspects of information in any area of Computer Science.
The symposium, currently in its 24th edition, has a wide remit and
intends to cater to both theoretical aspects and well-founded
applications. One of the key aspects of the symposium is its
interdisciplinarity, with attendees from distinct areas such as
artificial intelligence, database management, logic and verification,
and beyond. The symposium will encompass three tracks on temporal
representation and reasoning in (1) Artificial Intelligence, (2)
Databases and (3) Logic and Verification.

The Artificial Intelligence track includes, but is not limited to:

- temporal aspects of agent- and policy-based systems
- spatial and temporal reasoning
- reasoning about actions and change
- planning and planning languages
- ontologies of time and space-time
- belief and uncertainty in temporal knowledge
