About FSEN 

FSEN is an international conference that aims to bring together
researchers, engineers, developers, and practitioners from the
academia and the industry, who work in every area of formal
methods. This conference seeks to facilitate the transfer of
experience, adaptation of methods, and where possible, foster
collaboration among different groups. The topics of interest cover all
aspects of formal methods, especially those related to advancing the
application of formal methods in the software industry and promoting
their integration with practical engineering techniques. Following the
success of the previous FSEN events in 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011, the
next event in the FSEN series will take place in Tehran, Iran, April
24-26, 2013.

Proceedings and Special Issues 

The post-proceedings of FSEN'13 will be published by Springer Verlag
in the LNCS series (to be confirmed). There will also be a
pre-proceeding for the accepted papers, printed locally by IPM. This
pre-proceeding will be made available at the conference.

Following the tradition of the past editions, we plan to have a
special issue of an international scientific journal devoted to
FSEN'13. Selected participants will be invited to submit an extended
version of their papers after the conference. These extended versions
will be reviewed by an international program committee, which will
decide on their final publication on the special issue.

The proceedings of FSEN'07, FSEN'09, and FSEN'11 were published in the
LNCS series. A special issue of Science of Computer Programming was
published (SCP 77(7-8), 2012), containing the extended versions of a
selection of papers of FSEN'09. A special issue of Fundamenta
Informaticae was published, containing the extended versions of a
selection of papers of FSEN'07. The proceedings of FSEN'05 was
published in the ENTCS series: ENTCS 159 (2006). Two special issues
were published containing the extended versions of a selection of
papers of FSEN'05 in Fundamenta Informaticae (FI, vol. 82, 2008) and
in Journal of Universal Computing (J.UCS, 13(13), 2007).
