                           FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

       Fifth International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods (IFM)

                         November 29 - December 2, 2005
                           Eindhoven, The Netherlands

SCOPE

Applying formal methods may involve the modeling of different aspects of a
system that are expressed through different paradigms. This motivates us to
research the combination of different viewpoints upon a system, either by the
creation of hybrid notations, by extending existing notations, by translating
between notations, or by incorporating a wider perspective by innovative use of
an existing notation.

The integration of formal methods has already yielded noteworthy benefits for
systems modeling and software development. Whichever approach is taken,
significant issues arise in areas such as semantic integration, the tractability
of our notations, the integration of tool support, the integration of proof
systems, consistency and completeness. Issues arise equally in our
conceptualization of systems at different levels of abstraction and the
development of these conceptualizations through the process of refinement.

The scope of IFM2005 includes all aspects of integration of different formal
notations, paradigms and tools, and also the formal strengthening of informal
notations (e.g., UML).

The conference also seeks and welcomes contributions in related areas such as:
hybrid systems, the embedding of one formalism within another, and the
integration of formal methods with informal or semi-formal diagrammatic
notations and structuring techniques.

SUBMISSIONS

Submissions should be original work, not published or submitted elsewhere.
Submissions may be up to 20 pages in length and are preferably prepared with
LaTeX. Springer Verlag will publish the conference proceedings in the series
'Lecture Notes in Computer Science', hence submissions must be prepared
according to the LNCS author instructions (see
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). The first page of the
paper should contain an abstract of the paper, a list of keywords, the
names, affiliations and emails of the authors. The contact authors
should further provide their fax numbers as well as their phone
numbers.  The format for submitted papers and final versions is PDF or
PostScript. For final versions, sources will have to be provided as
well (including an RTF file for non-LaTeX papers).

A link to the submission web site will be provided on the conference web site
(http://www.win.tue.nl/ifm/).
