# About F-IDE
High levels of safety, security and also privacy standards require the
use of formal methods to specify and develop compliant software
(sub)systems. Any standard comes with an assessment process, which
requires a complete documentation of the application to ease the
justification of design choices and the review of code and proofs.

Ideally, an F-IDE dedicated to such developments should comply with
several requirements. The first one is to associate a logical theory
with a programming language, in a way that facilitates the tightly
coupled handling of specification properties and program constructs. The
second is to offer a language/environment simple enough to be usable by
most developers, even if they are not fully acquainted with higher-order
logics or set theory, in particular by making development of proofs as
easy as possible. The third is to offer automated management of
application documentation. It may also be expected that developments
done with such an F-IDE are reusable and modular. Tools for testing and
static analysis may be embedded within F-IDEs to support the assessment
process.

# Submission Guidelines
Submitted papers should follow EPTCS format (http://style.eptcs.org/).
Authors are invited to submit the following types of contributions:

Research papers providing new concepts and results
Experience reports
Position papers and research perspectives
Tool presentations

Two kinds of submissions will be considered: normal paper (15 pages
including bibliography), and shorter papers describing work in progress
and preliminary results (6 pages including bibliography). Submissions
will be made through EasyChair at:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fide2019.
All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the program
committee. They must describe original contributions whose main results
and conclusions have not been published or submitted elsewhere.
Preliminary proceedings, including all the papers selected for the
workshop, will be available electronically at the workshop. Post
proceedings will be proposed for publication with Electronic Proceedings
in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

# List of Topics
The workshop is open to contributions on all aspects of a system
development process, including specification, design, implementation,
analysis and documentation. It welcomes the presentation of tools,
methods, techniques and experiments. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to, the following:

F-IDE building: design and integration of languages,
development of user-friendly front-ends
How to make high-level logical and programming concepts palatable
to industrial developers
Integration of Object-Oriented and modularity features
Integration of static analyzers
Integration of automatic proof tools,
theorem provers and testing tools
Documentation tools
Impact of tools on certification
Experience reports on developing F-IDEs
Experience reports on using F-IDEs
Experience reports on formal methods-based assessments
in industrial applications
