_______ The IEEE International Workshop on Formal Methods Integration – FMi 2013 http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~iri2013/FMi_workshop.html In conjunction with the 14th IEEE IRI 2013 San Francisco, USA August 14-16, 2013 Formal methods ensure software system reliability based on theoretical computer science fundamentals. Complex systems often involve different formalisms to deal with the modeling of their different aspects, as each formalism is specific to only some system aspects and none is perfectly supporting all aspect constructs and their related semantics. Accordingly, different analysis techniques are required to check the different system views and verify different kinds of properties. Formalism integration allows for accurately specifying each aspect and verifying its corresponding properties. The FMi workshop aims at further research into hybrid approaches to formal modeling and analysis. It seeks contributions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of integrating methods, either formal or semi-formal, for system development, covering all engineering development phases from user requirements through design and analysis techniques to tools. The workshop also encourages new initiatives of building bridges between informal, semi-formal, and formal notations. Authors are invited to submit both research and tool papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - scalable formal methods - component-based specification and analysis - component-based development - integrated software architectures and their description languages - hybrid and embedded systems modeling - formal language integration - programming language integration - semi-formal (UML, SysML, …) and formal model integration - informal and formal language integration - integration of formal methods into software engineering practice - method integration - analysis technique integration - safety-critical and fault-tolerant systems modeling - object and multi-agent system modeling - requirement analysis and specification - software specification, verification, and validation - model checking for software and hardware systems - theorem proving and decision procedures - software and hardware analysis - interactive systems and human error analysis - formal aspects of software evolution and maintenance - formal methods for testing, re-engineering and reuse - CASE tools and tool integration - applications of formal methods and industrial case studies - education and formal methods - industrial applications of formal methods - experiments with challenge problems - integration of tools - experimental validation of tools Important dates Abstract Submission: April 23, 2013 Paper submission: April 30, 2013 Paper notification: May 31, 2013 Final version paper: June 14, 2013 Paper submission Authors are invited to submit papers unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication. Submissions will undergo a rigorous review process handled by the Technical Program Committee. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Only electronic submissions in PDF format through the EasyChair submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmi2013 will be considered. Papers must be in English, up to 8 pages in IEEE format, including references and appendices. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as formatting guidelines, can be found on the paper submission instructions available at the main conference website. Camera-ready paper submission At least one of the authors must register and present the paper, if accepted. Registered papers will be published as workshop papers in the IEEE IRI conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of a peer reviewed journal (pending).
