INTRODUCTION
SBMF 2016 is the nineteenth of a series of events devoted to the development,
dissemination and use of formal methods for the construction of high-quality
computational systems. It is now a well-established event, with an
international reputation.
SBMF 2016 will take place in Natal, the capital of the state Rio Grande do
Norte, that is located in the northeast region in Brazil. Natal is a portal of
entry to South America: near to the point closest to Europe and Africa. Natal
is a modern and lively town that emerged between a river and the sea; it is
adorned by dunes and lots of green areas: a land of colours and flavours, where
you find leisure and adventure. In Natal, it is Summer all year round, in a
unique coastline of breathtaking beaches, lakes, wilderness, culinary, tours,
art and culture, together with the great natural hospitality of its people.
Natal is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It has
around 800,000 inhabitants and receives more than 2 million / year tourists
from Brazil and abroad. Visitors are dazzled by more than 400 km of Atlantic
Coast strolling through beautiful beaches, many of which visited in thrilling
buggy rides between sea, dunes and lagoons. It is known as the "Sun City", and
is also remembered as "World Buggy Capital" and "Land of Shrimp". Natal is the
city where a Brazilian dance, called Forró - "For All" - was born.
The aim of SBMF is to provide a venue for the presentation and discussion of
high-quality work in formal methods. The topics include, but are not limited
to, the following:
* techniques and methodologies, such as method integration; software and
hardware co-design; model-driven engineering; formal aspects of popular
methodologies; formal design; development methodologies with formal
foundations; software evolution based on formal methods;
* specification and modelling languages, such as well-founded specification and
design languages; formal aspects of popular languages; logics and semantics for
programming and specification languages; code generation; formal methods and
models for objects, aspects, component-based, real-time, hybrid, critical, and
service-oriented systems;
* theoretical foundations, such as domain theory; type systems and category
theory; computational complexity of methods and models; computational models;
term rewriting; models of concurrency, security and mobility;
* verification and validation, such as abstraction, modularization and
refinement techniques; program and test synthesis; correctness by construction;
model checking; theorem proving; static analysis; formal techniques for
software testing; software certification; formal techniques for software
inspection;
* education, such as teaching of, for and with formal methods;
* applications, such as experience reports on the use of formal methods;
industrial case studies; tool support.
PAPER SUBMISSION
Papers with a strong emphasis on Formal Methods, whether practical or
theoretical, are invited for submission. They should present unpublished and
original work that has a clear contribution to the state of the art on the
theory and practice of formal methods. They should not be simultaneously
submitted elsewhere.
Papers will be judged by at least three reviewers on the basis of originality,
relevance, technical soundness and presentation quality and should contain
sound theoretical or practical results. Industry papers should emphasize
practical application of formal methods or report on open challenges.
Contributions should be written in English and be prepared using Springer’s
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format. Papers may not exceed 16 pages
(including figures, references and appendix). Accepted papers will be
published, after the conference, in a volume of LNCS.
Every accepted paper MUST have at least one author registered in the symposium
by the time the camera-ready copy is submitted; the registered author is also
expected to attend the symposium and present the paper.
Papers can be submitted via the following link:
