Seventh International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems (FMICS 02)
Submission deadline expired
July 12-13, 2002
SCOPE OF THE
WORKSHOP
The aim of the FMICS workshops is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry.
In particular, these workshops are intended to bring together scientists
who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging
their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. These workshops
also strive to promote research and development for the improvement of formal
methods and tools for industrial applications.
Topics include, but are not restricted to:
- Tools for the design and development of formal descriptions
- Verification and validation of complex, distributed, real-time systems and embedded systems
- Verification and validation methods that aim at circumventing shortcomings of existing methods in respect to their industrial applicability
- Formal methods based conformance, interoperability and performance testing
- Case studies and project reports on formal methods related projects with industrial participation
(e.g. safety critical systems, mobile systems, object-based distributed systems)
- Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forums
Previous workshops of the ERCIM working group on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems were held in
Oxford (March 1996),
Cesena (July 1997),
Amsterdam (May 1998),
Trento (July 1999),
Berlin (April 2000), and
Paris (July 2001).
The Seventh International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems (FMICS 02) will take place in Málaga
on July 12-13, 2002, in co-location with the 29th ICALP conference.

IMPORTANT DATES
Deadline for submission: April 21, 2002 (extended to April 26)
Accept/Reject notification: May 15, 2002
Final manuscript: June 12, 2002
Tool demo proposals: May 3, 2002 (contact Hubert.Garavel@inrialpes.fr)
Workshop: July 12-13, 2002
SUBMISSIONS (updated February 11, 2002)
Papers submitted to FMICS 02 must be in English and present original research
that is unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere.
The proceedings of the workshop will be published physically by the University
of Málaga and will appear in the ENTCS series
(Electronic Notes in Theoretical
Computer Science). This series is published online using the facilities
of Elsevier Science and is reviewed by both the Mathematical Reviews of the
AMS and the ACM's Computing Reviews. Additionally, the Table of Contents and
Abstracts are published in the journal Theoretical Computer Science as they
appear online.
Papers submitted to FMICS 02 should be between 10 and 16 pages, with a clear
abstract and list of keywords. Since papers published in ENTCS must be
formatted uniformly, it is advised to follow the
instructions for authors of papers
in ENTCS volumes.
Papers should be submitted by e-mail to
fmics02@inrialpes.fr. The format
should be either standard PostScript (printable by any PostScript device) or
PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format). In both cases, one should use only
vectorial ("Type 1") fonts and not bitmap fonts.
In case of acceptance of a paper at least one author must present the
contribution at the workshop, otherwise it will be removed from the list of
publications.
It is expected that a special journal issue will be devoted to a sampling
of papers presented at FMICS 2002. Since 1998,
six special issues
related to FMICS have been published (or will appear) in prestigious journals
such as Formal Aspects of Computing, Formal Methods in System
Design, and Science of Computer Programming.
FURTHER INFORMATION
The workshop will take place at University of Málaga in co-location with the 29th ICALP conference.
Participants should register in advance.
A minimal registration fee is charged for participants proceedings, lunch and refreshments.
Further information on FMICS 02 can be obtained at the workshop web site.
