****************************************************************************** * * --- CALL FOR PAPERS --- * * 7th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems * (FMICS 02) * * University of Málaga (Spain) * July 12-13, 2002 * Colocated with the 29th ICALP conference * * http://www.inrialpes.fr/vasy/fmics/workshop-7 * ****************************************************************************** *** SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP *** The aim of the FMICS workshops is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. In particular, these workshops should bring together scientists who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. They also aim at the promotion of research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications. Topics include, but are not restricted to: - Tools for the design and development of formal descriptions - Verification and validation of complex, distributed, real-time systems and embedded systems - Verification and validation methods that aim at circumventing shortcomings of existing methods in respect to their industrial applicability - Formal methods based conformance, interoperability and performance testing - Case studies and project reports on formal methods related projects with industrial participation (e.g. safety critical systems, mobile systems, object-based distributed systems) - Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forums Previous Workshops of the ERCIM working group on formal methods for Industrial Critical Systems were held in Oxford (March 1996), Cesena (July 1997), Amsterdam (May 1998),Trento (July 1999), Berlin (April 2000), and Paris (July 2001). The Seventh International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems (FMICS 02) will take place in Málaga on July 12-13, 2002, in co-location with the 29th ICALP conference. *** INVITED SPEAKERS *** Andrew Gordon (Microsoft Research Cambridge, UK) Wang Yi (Uppsala University, Sweden) *** PROGRAMME COMMITTEE *** T.

Merino *** IMPORTANT DATES *** => Deadline for submission: April 21, 2002 => Accept/Reject notification: May 15, 2002 => Final manuscript: June 12, 2002 => Tool demo proposals: May 3, 2002 (contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]) => Workshop: July 12-13, 2002 *** SUBMISSIONS *** Papers submitted to FMICS 02 must be in English, up to 16 pages long, with a clear abstract and list of keywords. They should be submitted by e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The format should be either standard PostScript (printable by any PostScript device) or PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format). The proceedings of the workshop will be published physically by the University of Málaga and will appear as a volume in the ENTCS series (Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science). It is advised to follow the instructions for authors of papers in ENTCS volumes (http://math.tulane.edu/~entcs). In case of acceptance of a paper at least one author has to present the contribution at the workshop, otherwise it will be removed from the list of publications. As an established tradition, the best papers presented at FMICS workshops are selected to appear in special issues of scientific journals. Since 1998, six special issues related to FMICS have been published (or will appear) in prestigious journals such as Formal Aspects of Computing, Formal Methods in System Design, and Science of Computer Programming. *** FURTHER INFORMATION *** The workshop will take place at University of Málaga in co-location with the 29th ICALP conference. Participants should register in advance. A minimal registration fee is charged for participants proceedings, lunch and refreshments.
