CALL FOR PAPERS
FM 2015 is the twentieth in a series of symposia organized by Formal
Methods Europe, an independent association whose aim is to stimulate
the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development.
The symposia have been notably successful in bringing together innovators
and practitioners in precise mathematical methods for software and systems
development, industrial users, as well as researchers. The FM symposia
welcome original papers on research and industrial experience,
proposals for workshops and tutorials, entries for the exhibition of
software tools and projects, and reports on ongoing doctoral work.
SCOPE AND TOPICS
FM 2015 will have the goal of highlighting the development and application
of formal methods. This includes uses of formal methods in a variety
of disciplines such as medicine, biology, human cognitive modeling,
human automation interactions and aeronautics, among others. FM 2015
particularly welcomes papers on techniques, tools and experiences
in interdisciplinary frameworks, as well as on experience with practical
applications of formal methods in industrial and research settings,
empirical and experimental validation of tools and methods as well as
construction and evolution of formal methods tools. The broad topics
of interest for FM 2015 include but are not limited to:
Interdisciplinary formal methods: techniques, tools and
experiences demonstrating formal methods in interdisciplinary
frameworks.
Formal methods in practice: industrial applications of formal
methods, experience with introducing formal methods in industry,
tool usage reports, experiments with challenge problems.
Authors are encouraged to explain how the use of formal methods has
overcome problems, lead to improvements in design or provided
new insights.
Tools for formal methods: advances in automated verification and
model-checking, integration of tools, environments for formal
methods, experimental validation of tools. Authors are encouraged
to demonstrate empirically that the new tool or environment
advances the state of the art.
Role of formal methods in software and systems engineering:
development processes with formal methods, usage guidelines for
formal methods, method integration. Authors are encouraged
to evaluate process innovations with respect to qualitative or
quantitative improvements. Empirical studies and evaluations
are also solicited.
Theoretical foundations: all aspects of theory related to
specification, verification, refinement, and static and dynamic
analysis. Authors are encouraged to explain how their results
contribute to the solution of practical problems with methods or
tools.

PAPER SUBMISSION
Papers will be evaluated by at least three members of the Programme
Committee. They should be in Springer LNCS format and describe, in
English, original work that has not been published or submitted
elsewhere.
Authors of papers reporting experimental work are strongly encouraged
to make their experimental results available for use by reviewers.
Similarly, case study papers should describe significant case studies
and the complete development should be made available at the time of
review. In other words, the usual criteria for novelty, reproducibility,
correctness and the ability for others to build upon the described work
apply.
Tool papers should explain enhancements made compared to previously
published work. A tool paper need not present the theory behind the
tool but can focus more on its features, and how it is used, evaluation,
with screen shots and examples. Authors of tool papers should make
their tool available for use by reviewers.
Papers should be submitted through the FM 2015 EasyChair web site:
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fm2015.
We solicit two categories of papers:
Regular Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format,
not counting references.
Short papers, including tool papers, should not exceed 6 pages,
not counting references. Besides tool papers, short papers
are encouraged for any subject that can be described within
the page limit, and in particular for novel ideas without an
extensive experimental evaluation. Short papers will be accompanied
by short presentations.
For regular and tool papers, an appendix can provide additional
material such as details on proofs or experiments. The appendix
is not guaranteed to be read or taken into account by the reviewers
and it should not contain information necessary to the understanding
and the evaluation of the presented work. Papers will be accepted
or rejected in the category in which they were submitted, there
will be no "demotions" from a regular to a short paper.
BEST PAPER AWARD
FM 2015 will as a new feature have a best paper award.
A best paper will be selected among accepted papers,
and the award will be presented at the conference.
PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be published in the Symposium Proceedings, to
appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
