<h2>Fifth International Workshop on Formal Methods for Autonomous Systems (FMAS 2023)<br></h2><p>FMAS 2023 is a two-day peer-reviewed international workshop that brings together researchers working on a range of techniques for the formal verification of autonomous systems, to present recent work in the area, discuss key challenges, and stimulate collaboration between autonomous systems and formal methods researchers.

They are often embodied in robotic systems that can interact with the real world, and they make independent decisions. Amongst other categories, they can be viewed as safety-critical, cyber-physical, hybrid, and real-time systems.<br></p><p>Key challenges for applying formal methods to autonomous systems include:<br></p><ul><li>the system’s dynamic deployment environment;<br></li><li>verifying the system’s decision making capabilities – including planning, ethical, and reconfiguration choices; and<br></li><li>using formal methods results as evidence given to certification or regulatory organisations.<br></li></ul><p>FMAS welcomes submissions that use formal methods to specify, model, or verify autonomous systems; in whole or in part. We are especially interested in work using integrated formal methods, where multiple (formal or non-formal) methods are combined during the software engineering process.<br></p><p>Autonomous systems are often embedded in robotic or cyber-physical systems, and they share many features (and verification challenges) with automated systems. FMAS welcomes submissions with applications to:<br></p><ul><li>automated systems,<br></li><li>semi-autonomous systems, or<br></li><li>fully-autonomous systems.<br></li></ul><h2>Invited Talks<br></h2><p>We have two invited speakers for FMAS 2023:<br></p><ul><li>Alice Miller, from the University of Glasgow, UK<br></li><li>Erika Ábrahám, from RWTH Aachen, Germany (in a shared talk with iFM)<br></li></ul><h2>Chairs<br></h2><ul><li>Matt Luckcuck <a class="" target="_blank" href="mailto:matt.luckcuck@nottingham.ac.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer">matt.luckcuck@nottingham.ac.uk</a>, University of Nottingham, UK<br></li><li>Marie Farrell <a class="" target="_blank" href="mailto:marie.farrell@manchester.ac.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer">marie.farrell@manchester.ac.uk</a>, University of Manchester, UK<br></li><li>Mario Gleirscher <a class="" target="_blank" href="mailto:mario.gleirscher@uni-bremen.de" rel="noopener noreferrer">mario.gleirscher@uni-bremen.de</a>, University of Bremen, Germany<br></li><li>Maike Schwammberger <a class="" target="_blank" href="mailto:schwammberger@kit.edu" rel="noopener noreferrer">schwammberger@kit.edu</a>, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany<br></li></ul><div dir="auto"><br></div> </body>
