Radisson BLU Hotel, Durham, UK

URL: http://www.scm.tees.ac.uk/icfem2011   

The deadlines for paper submission have been extended.

************************************************************

Since 1997, ICFEM has provided a forum for those interested in the

application of formal engineering methods to computer systems.

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 thatpromises to bring practical,

tangible benefit.

ICFEM 2011 is organised by Teesside University and will be held in the

historic Durham City in the North East of England

(http://www.thisisdurham.com/).

AREA AND TOPICS

Submissions related to the following principal themes are encouraged, but

any topics relevant to the field of formal methods and their support

environments 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

* Concurrency and software transaction memory

* Formal methods for cloud computing

* Software inspection

* Formal methods for cyber-physical systems

* Tool development and integration

* Software safety, security and reliability

* Experiments involving verified systems

* Applications of formal methods

* 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
