- FME '93 SYMPOSIUM
- "INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH FORMAL METHODS"
-
- Sponsored by the Commission of the
- European Communities (CEC)
- Organised by Formal Methods Europe
-
- The first FME Symposium will be held at Odense Technical College in
- Denmark, during the week of 19 to 23 April, 1993. It is being
- organised by Formal Methods Europe, as the successor to the last four
- VDM symposia, to promote the interests of users, researchers and
- developers of precise mathematical methods in program development.
-
- The last few years have borne witness to the remarkable diversity of
- formal methods, with applications to sequential and concurrent
- software, to real-time and reactive systems, and to hardware design.
- In that time, many theoretical problems have been tackled and solved,
- and many continue to be worked upon. Yet it is by the suitability of
- their industrial application and the extent of their usage that formal
- methods will ultimately be judged. This symposium will focus on the
- application of industrial-strength formal methods. We encourage all
- papers to address the difficulties of scaling their techniques up to
- industrial-sized problems, and of their suitability in the work-place.
- Papers should discuss techniques that are formal (that is, they have a
- mathematical basis), and that are industrially applicable. Papers
- tackling theoretical issues are much encouraged, providing that they
- contain a justification of the practical advantages that follow.
-
- Full-length research papers, industrial reports, proposals for
- tutorials and tool demonstrations are solicited, particularly
- in the following areas:
-
- * Practical use * Case studies
- * Tools * Linking formal and informal methods
- * Comparisons of formal methods * Proof
- * Concurrency * Real-time and reactive systems
- * Refinement techniques * Object orientation
- * Secure systems * Safety-critical systems
- * The development process * Education and technology transfer
