CALL FOR PAPERS : UML&FM 2012
5th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON UML&FORMAL METHODS
http://www-public.int-evry.fr/~gibson/Workshops/UML-FM-2012.html
Workshop held in conjunction with FM 2012
The 18th International Symposium on
Formal Methods
http://fm2012.cnam.fr/
August 27th, 2012
Paris, France
Submission deadline: March 5th, 2012
-------------------------------------
Many interest groups from a research perspective are in favour of the
creation of this workshop.
For more than a decade now, the two communities of UML and formal methods
have been working together to produce a simultaneously practical (via UML)
and rigorous (via formal methods) approach to software engineering.
UML is the de facto standard for modelling various aspects of software
systems in both industry and academia, despite the inconvenience that its
current specification is complex and its syntax imprecise.
The fact that the UML semantics is too informal have led many researchers
to formalize it with all kinds of existing formal languages, like OCL, Z,
B, TLA+, CSP, VDM, Petri Nets, UPPAAL, HOL, Coq, PVS etc.
This fifth edition of the workshop will be open to various subjects as the
main objective is to encourage new initiatives of building bridges between
informal, semi-formal and formal notations.
Topics:
======
This workshop seeks contributions from researchers and practitioners
interested in all aspects of integrating UML and formal methods. To this
end, we solicit papers (no more than 8 pages long) related to, but not
limited to, the following principal topics:
Consistent specifications, model transformations (QVT technologies,
transformation repositories). Transformations to make models more
analyzable so as to make them executable.
Automation of traceability through transformations
Refinement techniques: developing detailed design from a UML abstract
specification
Refinement of OCL specification as well
Formal reasoning on models for code generation
Technologies for compositional verification of models
Specification of a formal semantics for the UML.
Giving an abstract syntax to UML diagrams
Formal validation and verification of software
Co-modeling methods formal/informal mapping techniques
End-to-end methodologies or software process engineering,correct-
by-construction design providing and supporting tools for safety-
critical embedded systems design
Workshop Format
===============
This full-day workshop will consist of an introduction of the topic by the
workshop organizers, presentations of accepted papers, and in depth
discussion of previously identified subjects emerging from the
submissions. A summary of the discussions will be made available.
Submission and Publication
==========================
To contribute, please send a position paper or a technical paper at:
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=umlfm2012
Two versions of the papers will be requested.
Short versions are required for the workshop participation.
Only the best papers of extended versions will be published in a special
issue of the Formal Aspects of Computing journal.
Papers should not exceed 8 pages. Submitted manuscripts should be in
English and formatted in the style of the SEN Format.
