FMICS-AVoCS 2016
International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems
and Automated Verification of Critical Systems
http://fmics-avocs.isti.cnr.it/
26-29 September 2016
CNR, Pisa, Italy
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Call for Papers
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The aim of the FMICS workshop series is to provide a forum for
researchers who
are interested in the development and application of formal methods in
industry.
The aim of the AVoCS workshop series is to contribute to the interaction and
exchange of ideas among members of the international research community on
tools and techniques for the verification of critical systems. In 2016,
FMICS and
AVoCS join their forces to hold a workshop combining their themes on formal
methods and automated verification. For FMICS, this will be the 21st,
for AVoCS
the 16th edition.
In particular, FMICS-AVoCS 2016 aims to bring together scientists and
engineers
that are active in the area of formal methods, develop tools and
techniques for the
automated verification of critical systems, and are interested in
exchanging their
experiences in the industrial usage of these methods and tools.

INVITED SPEAKERS
Thomas Arts (QuviQ AB, Gothenburg, Sweden)
Jan Peleska (University of Bremen, Germany)
TOPICS of INTEREST include (but are not limited to):
Design, specification, refinement, code generation and testing of
critical systems
based on formal methods
Methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis,
certification,
debugging, learning, optimization and transformation of critical
systems, in
particular distributed, real-time systems and embedded systems
Automated verification (model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT
constraint
solving, abstract interpretation, etc.) of critical systems
Verification and validation methods that address shortcomings of
existing methods
with respect to their industrial applicability (e.g., scalability and
usability issues)
Tools for the development of formal design descriptions
Case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of
formal methods,
focusing on lessons learned or identification of new research directions
Impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process and
associated costs
Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forums
SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION
Full paper submissions must describe authors' original research work and
results.
Submitted papers must not have previously appeared in a journal or
conference with
published proceedings and must not be concurrently submitted to any
other peer-
reviewed workshop, symposium, conference or archival journal. Any
partial overlap
with any such published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly
indicated.
Full paper submissions should clearly demonstrate relevance to
industrial application.
Case study papers should identify lessons learned, validate theoretical
results
(such as scalability of methods) or provide specific motivation for
further research
and development.
Full paper submissions should not exceed 15 pages formatted according to
the LNCS
style (Springer). All submissions will be reviewed by the Program
Committee who
will make a selection among the submissions based on the novelty,
soundness and
applicability of the presented ideas and results.
Research ideas: FMICS-AVoCS encourages the submissions of research ideas
in order to
stimulate discussions at the workshop. Reports on ongoing work or
surveys on work
published elsewhere are welcome. The Program Committee will select
research ideas on
the basis of submitted abstracts according to their significance and
general interest.
Abstracts of research ideas should not exceed 3 pages and they will not
be part of
the published proceedings.
Full papers and research ideas must be written in English and should be
submitted as
Portable Document Format (PDF) files using the EasyChair submission site:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmicsavocs2016
The workshop proceedings will be published by Springer in their LNCS
series, while
authors of the best full papers will be invited to submit extended
versions to a
special issue of the International Journal on Software Tools for
Technology Transfer.
