ICFEM 2013 CALL FOR PAPERS


15th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods (ICFEM 2013)

Queenstown, New Zealand, 29 October - 1 November 2013

http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/icfem2013/


The 15th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods (ICFEM 
2013) will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Queenstown, New Zealand 
from 29 October to 1 November 2013. Since 1997, ICFEM has been serving 
as an international forum for researchers and practitioners who have 
been seriously applying formal methods to practical applications. 
Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and government, 
are encouraged to attend, and to help advance the state of the art. We 
are interested in work that has been incorporated into real production 
systems, and in theoretical work that promises to bring practical and 
tangible benefit.

ICFEM 2013 is organized and sponsored by The University of Auckland and 
will be held in the world renowned travel destination - Queenstown. 
Around 1.9 million visitors are drawn to Queenstown each year to enjoy 
their own unforgettable travel experience. We are looking forward to 
your submissions and participation.

SCOPE AND TOPICS

Submissions related to the following principal themes are encouraged, 
but any topics relevant to the field of formal methods and their 
practical applications will also be considered.

+ Abstraction and refinement
+ Formal specification and modeling
+ Program analysis
+ Software verification
+ Software model checking
+ Formal approaches to software testing
+ Formal methods for self-adaptive systems
+ Formal methods for object and component systems
+ Formal methods for concurrent and real-time systems
+ Formal methods for cloud computing and cyber-physical systems
+ Formal methods for software safety, security, reliability and 
dependability
+ Tool development, integration and experiments involving verified systems
+ Formal methods used in certifying products under international standards
+ Formal model-based development and code generation

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be 
concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will 
be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the field, 
technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the conference. The 
proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer 
Science series.

Papers should be written in English and not exceed 16 pages in LNCS 
format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details).
