GENERAL INFORMATION

Since 1997, ICFEM has been serving as an international forum for researchers and practitioners who have been seriously applying formal methods to practical applications. Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and government, are encouraged to attend, present their research, and help advance the state of the art. We are
interested in work that has been incorporated into real production systems, and in theoretical work that promises to bring practical and tangible benefit. ICFEM 2015 is organised and sponsored by the University Paris-Sud and CNAM Paris.

SCOPE OF THE CONFERENCE

Submissions related to the following principal themes are encouraged,
but any topics relevant to the field of formal methods and their
practical applications will also be considered.

- Abstraction and refinement
- Formal specification and modeling
- Program analysis
- Software verification
- Software model checking
- Formal approaches to software testing
- Formal methods for self-adaptive systems, for object and component
systems, concurrent and real-time systems, for cloud computing and
cyber-physical systems, for software safety, security, reliability
and dependability
- Tool development, integration and experiments involving verified
systems
- Formal methods used in certifying products under international
standards
- Formal model-based development and code generation

This year, ICFEM will have special tracks on application of formal
methods in three areas:

- Computer security
- Aeronautics
- Train control systems

Submissions in these topics are especially encouraged. Papers in these
areas will be subject to the same rigorous review process as other
papers. Accepted special track papers will be organised into special
sessions.

TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS

• Research papers (max. 16 pages) describing results of theoretical or experimental research, which must be original, significant, and sound. Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be concurrently considered for publication elsewhere.
• Tool papers (max. 6 pages) describing new tools or new features of existing tools, without necessary giving the theoretical background details. Benchmarks or experiences are strongly encouraged. The tools must be available for use by the reviewers.
