IMPORTANT DATES (firm)
==========================================================================
Abstract Submission Deadline: April 30, 2007
Paper Submission Deadline: May 7, 2007
Acceptance Notification: June 21, 2007
Final Version Due: July 28, 2007
SCOPE OF CONFERENCE
==========================================================================
FMCAD 2007 is the seventh in a series of conferences on the theory and
application of formal methods in hardware and system design and
verification. In 2005, the bi-annual FMCAD and sister conference CHARME
decided to merge to form an annual conference with a unified community.
The resulting unified FMCAD provides a leading international forum to
researchers and practitioners in academia and industry for presenting
and discussing groundbreaking methods, technologies, theoretical
results, and tools for formally reasoning about computing systems, as
well as open challenges therein. FMCAD 2007 will include a full day of
tutorials, and will be co-located with the ACL2 Workshop. Topics of
interest for the technical program include, but are not limited to:
Foundations: advancing industrial-strength technologies in model
checking, theorem proving, equivalence checking, abstraction and
refinement techniques, property-preserving reduction techniques,
compositional methods, decision procedures, SAT- and BDD-based methods,
combining deductive methods with decision procedures, and probabilistic
methods.
Verification applications: tools, industrial experience reports, and
case studies. We encourage the submission of materials relating to
novel and challenging industrial-scale applications of formal methods,
including problem domains where formal methods worked well or even fell
short. We also encourage submissions relating to the development and
execution of methodologies for formal and informal verification strategies.
Applications of formal methods in design: topics relating to the
application and applicability of assertion-based verification,
equivalence checking, transaction-level verification, semi-formal
verification, runtime verification, simulation and testcase generation,
coverage analysis, microcode verification, embedded systems, software
verification, concurrent systems, timing verification, and formal
approaches to performance and power.
Model-based approaches: modeling and specification languages,
system-level design and verification, design derivation and
transformation, and correct-by-construction methods.
Formal methods for the design and verification of emerging and novel
technologies: nano, quantum, biological, video, gaming, and multimedia
applications.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS
==========================================================================
Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format through the FMCAD
Web site, http://fmcad.org/2007. The proceedings will be published by
the IEEE and will be available online in the ACM Digital Library and the
IEEE Xplore Digital Library. There are two categories of papers:
A. REGULAR PAPERS
Regular papers are limited to 8 pages using the IEEE Transactions format
on letter-size paper with a 10-point font size (see
http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html). We
recommend that self-citations be written in the third person, though
authors will be required to identify themselves on their submissions.
Submissions must contain original research that has not been previously
published, nor concurrently submitted for publication. Any partial
overlap with any published or concurrently submitted paper must be
clearly indicated. If experimental results are reported, authors are
strongly encouraged to provide adequate access to their data so that
results can be independently verified. Papers should contain a short
abstract of approximately 150 words clearly stating the contribution of
the submission. Refer to http://fmcad.org/2007 for evolving submission
details. A small number of accepted papers will be considered for a
distinguished paper award.
B. SHORT PAPERS
The page limit is 4 pages using the same format as for regular papers.
Short papers can describe applications, case studies, industrial
experience reports, emerging results, or implemented tools with novel
features. A demonstration will be required for accepted tool papers.
