                     August 27/28, 2012, Paris, France 
 
 
                          Co-located with FM 2012 
 
 
==================================================================== 
 
 
Scope 
 
 
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. In particular, FMICS brings together 
scientists and engineers that are active in the area of formal 
methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the 
industrial usage of these methods. The FMICS workshop series also 
strives to promote research and development for the improvement of 
formal methods and tools for industrial applications. 
 
 
Workshop Proceedings will be published in Springer's LNCS series. 
 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
 
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): 
 
 
           * Design, specification, code generation and testing based on 
             formal methods. 
 
 
           * Methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis, 
             certification, debugging, learning, optimization and 
             transformation of complex, distributed, real-time systems 
             and embedded 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.
