*********************************************************************
SETTA 2018, Call for Papers 4th International Symposium on Dependable
Software Engineering: Theories, Tools and Applications Beijing, China,
September 4 - 6, 2018 <http://lcs.ios.ac.cn/setta2018/> (Co-located with
CONCUR, FORMATS, and QEST as part of CONFESTA)
*********************************************************************
*IMPORTANT DATES* - Abstract deadline: April 23, 2018 (extended) -
Submission deadline: April 30, 2018 - Author notification: June 14, 2018 -
Camera-ready version: June 28, 2018 - Symposium: September 4-6, 2018 *ABOUT*
SETTA aims to bring together international researchers and practitioners in
the field of software technology. Its focus is on formal methods and
advanced software technologies, especially for engineering complex,
large-scale artifacts like cyber-physical systems, networks of things,
enterprise systems, or cloud-based services. Contributions relating to
formal methods or integrating them with software engineering, as well as
papers advancing scalability or widening the scope of rigorous methods to
new design goals are especially welcome. As part of CONFESTA (
http://confesta2018.csp.escience.cn/ ), SETTA 2018 will be co-located with
CONCUR, FORMATS and QUEST. *TOPICS* Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to: - Requirements specification and analysis - Formalisms for
modeling, design and implementation - Model checking, theorem proving, and
decision procedures - Scalable approaches to formal system analysis -
Formal approaches to simulation and testing - Integration of formal methods
into software engineering practice - Contract-based engineering of
components, systems, and systems of systems - Formal and engineering
aspects of software evolution and maintenance - Parallel and multicore
programming - Embedded, real-time, hybrid, and cyber-physical systems -
Mixed-critical applications and systems - Formal aspects of
service-oriented and cloud computing - Safety, reliability, robustness, and
fault-tolerance - Dependability of smart software and systems - Empirical
analysis techniques and integration with formal methods - Applications and
industrial experience reports - Tool integration *Submission* Authors are
invited to submit papers on original research, industrial applications, or
position papers proposing challenges in fundamental research and
technology. The latter two types of submissions are expected to contribute
to the development of formal methods either by substantiating the
advantages of integrating formal methods into the development cycle or
through delineating need for research by demonstrating weaknesses of
existing technologies, especially when addressing new application domains.
Submissions can take the form of either regular or short papers. Short
papers can discuss ongoing research at an early stage, including PhD
projects. Regular Papers should not exceed 16 pages and short papers should
not exceed 6 pages in LNCS format. The proceedings will be published as a
volume in Springer's LNCS series. Papers should be submitted electronically
through the EasyChair submission web page < https://easychair.org/conferen
ces/?conf=setta2018 >. All submissions must be in the PDF format. Papers
should be written in English. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not
submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers must be presented at
the conference. *Invited Speakers* - Moshe Vardi (joint keynote speaker for
CONFESTA 2018), Rice University - Tao Xie, UIUC - Hongseok Yang, KAIST
