The symposium is planned to take place during November 20-26, 2021, at the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The organisers are monitoring closely the COVID-19 situation; although hoping for an in-person event, they are also planning carefully for a virtual event or a hybrid virtual/in-person event, in case there will be travel restrictions or health advisories following the global COVID-19 crisis. A decision on the nature of the meeting will be announced in due course. PROPOSALS = For this major event, we are now inviting proposals for workshops, tutorials, or other similar events that will complement the main FM Symposium. The general purpose of workshops and tutorials is to provide an informal setting for participants to discuss technical issues, exchange research ideas and educational approaches, and to discuss and/or demonstrate applications. These may be driven by fundamental academic interests or by needs from specific application domains. A workshop is an event with an open call for contributions. A tutorial is an event based entirely on invited talks by the organizers or by other speakers. Events that mix open and invited presentations will also be considered. We encourage a diversity of topics relating to different ways of developing and using formal methods. Workshops and tutorials will take place on November 20-21, 2021. Each event (workshop or tutorial) should typically run for 1/2 or 1 day, but 2-day events will also be considered. The FM 2021 organising committee aims to contribute to at least partial support for one invited speaker per event.

dependability in trusted computing, interaction with physical
components in cyber physical systems, distribution in cloud computing
applications, etc. Hence, new concepts and methodologies are required
to enhance the development of software engineering from theoretical
aspects. TASE 2018 aims to provide a forum for people from academia
and industry to communicate their latest results on theoretical
advances in software engineering.
TASE 2018 is the 12th in the TASE series. The past TASE symposia were

Due to the openness of these systems, new critical aspects come into play, such as the need to deal with malicious components or with a hostile environment. Current research on network security issues (e.g. secrecy, authentication, etc.) usually focuses on opening cryptographic point-to-point tunnels. Therefore, the proposed solutions in this area are not always exploitable to support the end-to-end secure interaction between entities whose availability or location is not known beforehand. The aim of the workshop is to cover the gap between the security and the concurrency communities. More precisely, the workshop promotes the exchange of ideas, trying to focus on common interests and stimulating discussions on central research questions. In particular, we look for papers dealing with security issues -- such as authentication, integrity, privacy, confidentiality, access control, denial of service, service availability, safety aspects, fault tolerance, trust, language-based security, probabilistic and information theoretic models -- in emerging fields like web services, mobile ad-hoc networks, agent-based infrastructures, peer-to-peer systems, context-aware computing, global/ubiquitous/pervasive computing. SecCo 2011 follows the success of SecCo'03 (affiliated to ICALP'03), SecCo'04 (affiliated to CONCUR'04), SecCo'05 (affiliated to CONCUR'05), SecCo'07 (affiliated to CONCUR'07), SecCo'08 (affiliated to CONCUR'08), SecCo'09 (affiliated to CONCUR'09) and SecCo'10 (affiliated to CONCUR'10).

Starting from next year, SecCo is merging with several other workshops in the field to form the Conference on Security and Trust Foundations (STF) which will be part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS).

The previous six events were held in Taiwan (2003-5), Beijing (2006), Tokyo (2007) and Seoul (2008). The proceedings of ATVA 2009 will be published by Springer as a volume in the LNCS series. SCOPE: The scope of interest is intentionally kept broad; it includes: -- Theory useful for providing designers with automated support for obtaining correct software or hardware systems, including both functional and non functional aspects, such as: theory of (timed and hybrid) automata, process calculi, Petri-nets, concurrency theory, compositionality, model-checking, automated theorem proving, synthesis, performance analysis, correctness-by-construction, infinite state systems, abstract interpretation, decidability results, parametric analysis or synthesis. -- Applications of theory in engineering methods and other particular domains and handling of practical problems occurring in tools, such as analysis and verification tools, synthesis tools, model transformation tools. Techniques of reducing complexity of verification by abstraction, improved representations. Methods and tools in handling user level notations, such as UML. Practice in industrial applications to hardware, software or real-time and embedded systems. Case studies, illustrating the usefulness of tools or a particular approach are also welcome. Theory papers should be motivated by practical problems and applications should be rooted in sound theory. We are interested both in algorithms and in methods and tools for integrating formal approaches into industrial practice. Submissions: 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. ATVA 2009 calls for two types of contributions: RESEARCH PAPERS and TOOL DEMONSTRATION PAPERS. Both types of contributions will appear in the proceedings and have oral presentations at the conference. Papers should be written in English in LNCS format. Research papers: Research papers should contain original research, and sufficient detail to assess the mer its and relevance of the contribution. Submissions reporting on industrial case studies are welcome, and should describe both strengths and weaknesses in sufficient depth. Research papers should be no more than 15 pages. Tool demonstration papers: Tool demonstration papers present tools based on aforementioned theories or fall into the above application areas. Tool demonstration papers allow researchers to stress the technical and practical side, illustrating how one can apply the theoretic contributions in practice. Tool demonstration papers should be no more than 6 pages. Submission Procedure: Further information and instruction about submission can be found at the conference website http://www.iist.unu.edu/atva09. Important Dates: paper submission: 1 May 2009, notification of acceptance: 15 June 2009, final copy for proceedings: 29 June 2009, ATVA 2009: 14-16 October 2009.
