WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
Four satellite workshops joined SEFM 2012! For more information visit
the website of the conference.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of the conference is to bring together practitioners and
researchers from academia, industry and government to advance the
state of the art in formal methods, to facilitate their uptake in the
software industry and to encourage their integration with practical
engineering methods. Papers that combine formal methods and software
engineering are especially welcome.
Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on any
relevant topic. These can either be normal or short papers. Short
papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of
development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated.
TOPICS
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* formal requirement analysis, specification and design
* programming languages, program analysis and type theory
* formal methods for service-oriented and cloud computing
* formal aspects of security and mobility
* model checking, theorem proving and decision procedures
* formal methods for real-time, hybrid and embedded systems
* formal methods for safety-critical, fault-tolerant and secure
systems
* software architecture and coordination languages
* component, object and multi-agent systems
* formal aspects of software evolution and maintenance
* formal methods for testing, re-engineering and reuse
* light-weight and scalable formal methods
* tool integration
* applications of formal methods, industrial case studies and
technology transfer
* education and formal methods
LOCATION
The conference will be held in the beautiful city of Thessaloniki in
Greece. For more information about the city visit
