assurance in mission- and safety-critical systems. The focus of the
symposium is on formal methods, and aims to foster collaboration
between NASA researchers and engineers and the wider aerospace and
academic formal methods communities. The symposium will be comprised
of a mixture of invited talks, invited tutorials, and presentation of
papers and tool demonstrations.
