First Call for Papers
--------------------------

                     FROM 2019

               Working Formal Methods Symposium
         September 3-5, 2019, Timisoara, Romania
               http://from2019.projects.uvt.ro

               in conjunction with SYNASC 2019
                   https://synasc.ro/2019/


Aims
----
FROM aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who work
on formal methods by contributing new theoretical results, methods,
techniques, and frameworks, and/or make the formal methods to work
by creating or using software tools that apply theoretical contributions.

FROM 2019 is the third event in a yearly workshop series. The first edition
was held in 2017 in Bucharest (see http://unibuc.ro/~conference/from2017),
and
it included sixteen invited talks delivered by top researchers in field,
and seven contributed talks. The second edition was held in 2018 in Iasi
(see http://fmse.info.uaic.ro/event/from-2018) and it included 9 invited
talks and 14 contributed talks.

The program of the symposium will include invited lectures and  regular
contributions. Submissions on the general topic of theoretical
computer science, formal methods and applications are solicited.

Publication
-----------
The proceedings will be published by Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical
Computer Science.
Authors of the best contributions will be invited to submit a revised
version of
their work to a special issue of the journal Fundamenta Informaticae.

Submissions
-----------
We expect submissions of regular papers of maximum fifteen (15) pages,
