Second Call for Papers

FMICS 2023: 28th International Conference on Formal Methods for
Industrial Critical Systems

Antwerp, Belgium, 20-22 September 2023
https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uantwerpen.be%2Fen%2Fconferences%2Fconfest-2023%2Ffmics%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cfm-announcements%40lists.nasa.gov%7C53ca130b0ada45931e8008db31fa863b%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638158724292489439%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ojRXAdeGbjqoCzsEfF5Uw89HsUM6vHV%2BQTp%2FoYGMOBw%3D&reserved=0

The aim of the FMICS conference series is to provide a forum for researchers
and practitioners who are interested in the development and application of
formal methods in the industry. FMICS brings together scientists and engineers
who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their
experiences in the industrial usage of these methods.
The FMICS conference series also strives to promote research and development
for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Paper submission: 15 May 2023
Authors’ response period: 28-30 June 2023
Notification: 14 July 2023
Camera-ready version: July 31, 2023
Conference: 20-22 September 2023

TOPICS:

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of formal
methods, focusing on lessons learned or identification of new research
directions.
- Methods, techniques, and tools to support automated analysis, certification,
debugging, learning, optimization, and transformation of complex, distributed,
real-time, embedded, mobile and autonomous systems.
- Verification and validation methods (model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT
constraint solving, abstract interpretation, etc.) that address shortcomings of
existing methods with respect to their industrial applicability (e.g.,
scalability and usability issues, tool qualification, and certification).
- Impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process and
associated costs.
- Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forum.

PAPER SUBMISSION:

Papers must describe original research work and results. Submitted papers must
not have previously appeared in a journal or conference with published
proceedings and must not be concurrently submitted to any other peer-reviewed
workshop, symposium, conference, or archival journal. Any partial overlap with
any such published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated.

Submissions should clearly motivate relevance to industrial applications. Case
study papers should identify lessons learned, validate theoretical results
(such as scalability of methods) or provide specific motivation for further
research and development.

Papers should not exceed 15 pages formatted according to the LNCS style
(Springer). All submissions will be reviewed by the Programme Committee, which
will make a selection among the submissions based on the novelty, soundness,
and applicability of the presented ideas and results.
Papers must be written in English and should be submitted as PDF files using
the EasyChair submission site: https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Dfmics2023&data=05%7C01%7Cfm-announcements%40lists.nasa.gov%7C53ca130b0ada45931e8008db31fa863b%7C7005d45845be48ae8140d43da96dd17b%7C0%7C0%7C638158724292489439%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Zt5MJ7ecKjoAecpY2OMTGWVXGie3AYlz%2F5T8JQi44es%3D&reserved=0.

PROCEEDINGS:

The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS series. At
least one author of each accepted paper is expected to present the paper at the
conference as a registered participant.

BEST PAPER AWARD:

An award will be presented to the authors of the submission selected by the
Program Committee as the FMICS 2023 Best Paper. This submission will be awarded
a 1.000 Euro prize sponsored by Springer.

SPECIAL ISSUE:

The Program Committee of FMICS 2023 will invite a selection of accepted papers
to submit extended versions to a special issue of the International Journal on
Software Tools for Technology Transfer (STTT).
