NFM 2015CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The 7th NASA Formal Methods Symposium

       http://www.NASAFormalMethods.org/nfm2015
<http://www.nasaformalmethods.org/nfm2015>

27 – 29 April 2015
Pasadena, California, USA
THEME

The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission- and
safety-critical systems require advanced techniques that address their
specification, verification, validation, and certification. The NASA Formal
Methods Symposium is a forum for theoreticians and practitioners from
academia, industry, and government, with the goals of identifying
challenges and providing solutions to achieving 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.
TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

   - Model checking
   - Theorem proving
   - SAT and SMT solving
   - Symbolic execution
   - Static analysis
   - Runtime verification
   - Systematic testing
   - Program refinement
   - Compositional verification
   - Modeling and specification formalisms
   - Model-based development
   - Model-based testing
   - Requirement engineering
   - Formal approaches to fault tolerance
   - Security and intrusion detection
   - Applications of formal methods
