                       Call for Papers

                          FTSCS 2013

2nd International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems

          Queenstown, New Zealand, October 29, 2013

              (satellite workshop of ICFEM 2013)

*** Science of Computer Programming special issue ***

*** Springer CCIS proceedings ***

Aims and Scope:

There is an increasing demand in industry to use formal methods to

achieve software-independent verification and validation of

safety-critical systems, e.g., in fields such as avionics, automotive,

medical, and other cyber-physical systems. Newer standards, such as

DO-178C (avionics) and ISO 26262 (automotive), emphasize the need for

formal methods and model-based development, speeding up the

adaptation of such methods in industry.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers

and engineers who are interested in the application of formal and
semi-formal

methods to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems. In

particular, FTSCS strives strives to promote research and development of

formal methods and tools for industrial applications, and is particularly

interested in industrial applications of formal methods.

Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

* case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods for

analyzing safety-critical systems, including avionics, automotive,

medical, and other kinds of safety-critical and QoS-critical systems

* methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis,

certification, debugging, etc., of complex safety/QoS-critical systems

* analysis methods that address the limitations of formal methods in

industry (usability, scalability, etc.)

* formal analysis support for modeling languages used in industry,

such as AADL, Ptolemy, SysML, SCADE, Modelica, etc.

* code generation from validated models.

The workshop will provide a platform for discussions and the exchange of

innovative ideas, so submissions on work in progress are encouraged.

Invited speaker:

TBA

Submission:

We solicit submissions reporting on:

A- original research contributions (15 pages max, LNCS format);

B- applications and experiences (15 pages max, LNCS format);

C- surveys, comparisons, and state-of-the-art reports (15 pages max, LNCS
format);

D- tool papers (5 pages max, LNCS format);

E- position papers and work in progress (5 pages max, LNCS format)

related to the topics mentioned above.

All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
concurrently

for publication elsewhere. Paper submission will be done electronically

via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ftscs2013.

The final version of the paper must be prepared in LaTeX, adhering to

the LNCS format available at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0.

Publication:

All accepted papers will appear in the pre-proceedings of FTSCS 2013.

Accepted papers in the categories A-D above will appear in

the workshop proceedings that will be published as a volume in

Springer's CCIS series. 

The authors of a selected subset of accepted papers will be invited to
submit

extended versions of their papers to appear in a special issue of the

Science of Computer Programming journal.
