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.
