                        CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
======================================================================
               Workshop on FORMAL METHODS IN AEROSPACE (FMA)
                    [A satellite workshop of FM2009]

              Eindhoven, The Netherlands,  3rd November 2009

        NOTE: registration for this event is open now, but after
              October 19 late registration fees will apply
====================================================================

SCOPE
-----
The main objective of this workshop is to explore interdisciplinary
methods for design, verification and co-ordination of aerospace
systems, by combining formal methods with techniques from control
engineering and artificial intelligence. The very demanding safety,
robustness and performance requirements of these systems require
unprecedented integration of heterogeneous techniques and models. The
aim of FMA is to bring together active researchers and practiners from all
the above areas to discuss and present their work. Relevant topics include,
but are not limited to (all with a focus on potential application in
aerospace): new modeling paradigms; hybrid systems; uncertainty modeling;
formal verification of safety and performance properties; combining formal
and analytical techniques in modeling and verification; heterogeneous system
models; probabilistic and stochastic modeling and verification methods; agent
technologies; multi-agent coordination; runtime monitoring; trajectory
specification languages.
