ICFEM 2012:
14th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods
CALL FOR PAPERs
12th-16th, November, 2012
Kyoto Research Park, Kyoto, Japan
URL: http://www.jaist.ac.jp/icfem2012
************************************************************

ICFEM will come back to Japan in 2012 again! Since 1997, ICFEM has
been serving as an international forum for researchers and
practitioners
who have been seriously applying formal methods to practical
applications.
Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and
government,
are encouraged to attend, and to help advance the state of
the art. We are interested in work that has been incorporated into
real production systems, and in theoretical work that promises to
bring practical and tangible benefit.

ICFEM 2012 will be hosted by National Institute of Advanced
Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and Japan Advanced Institute
of
Science and Technology (JAIST), which will be held in
Kyoto, JAPAN. Kyoto is the ancient capital of JAPAN, where you can
find
many historical sites which have been designated as World Heritage
there.
We are looking forward to your submissions.

AREA AND TOPICS

Submissions related to the following principal themes are encouraged,
but
any topics relevant to the field of formal methods and their
practical
applications will also be considered:

* Abstraction and refinement
* Formal specification and modelling
* Software verification
* Program analysis
* Software model checking
* Formal approaches to software testing
* Formal methods for object and component systems
* Formal methods for cloud computing/robotics/cyber-physical systems/
medical devices/aeronautics/railway
* Formal methods for self-* systems
* Formal methods for software safety, security, reliability and
dependability
* Experiments involving verified systems
* Formal methods used in certifying products under international
standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, etc)
* Formal model-based development and code generation


SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

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. The proceedings will be
published
in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Papers should be written in English and not exceed 16 pages in LNCS
format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for
details). Submission should be done through the ICFEM 2012 submission
page
(https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfem2012), handled by
the
EasyChair conference system.
