-- About FSEN --

Fundamentals of Software Engineering (FSEN) is an international conference
that aims to bring together researchers, engineers, developers, and practitioners
from academia and industry to present and discuss their research work in the area
of formal methods for software engineering. Additionally, this conference seeks to
facilitate the transfer of experience, adaptation of methods, and where possible,
foster collaboration among different groups. The topics of interest cover all aspects
of formal methods, especially those related to advancing the application of formal methods
in the software industry and promoting their integration with practical engineering
techniques. Following the success of the previous FSEN editions, the next edition
of the FSEN conference will take place in Västerås, Sweden, April 7-8, 2025.

-- Paper Submission --

Authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 15 pages including references) describing
original research, applications and tools; or short papers (up to 6 pages including references)
describing ongoing research or new ideas that have not yet been fully validated. Both categories
of papers must be submitted electronically in PDF using the online submission process via the
Easychair conference system at the following link: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fsen2025__;!!IBzWLUs!XG9Ci_FvIoEfwzqmVU6qhtGJG3EL0_aj__am3AFSOJfgzP8AO_p-XUh9DmXZU77Ludy0O8tUiqpBn3zKXfFdpgfLlfR6r1XWOyNVBlc$ .

Contributions must be written in English, should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS style
(LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates) that can be found at the following link
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines__;!!IBzWLUs!XG9Ci_FvIoEfwzqmVU6qhtGJG3EL0_aj__am3AFSOJfgzP8AO_p-XUh9DmXZU77Ludy0O8tUiqpBn3zKXfFdpgfLlfR6r1XW91AL9fo$ )
and not exceed the page limit for the category (including figures and references).

Each submission will be thoroughly reviewed by at least three reviewers considering scientific originality,
significance, relevance to the FSEN conference, technical soundness, clarity, self-containedness and
discussion of appropriate related work.

The reviewers will be asked to rate the submissions and evaluate whether they can be accepted as:

1) Full paper for the LNCS proceedings

2) Short paper for the LNCS proceedings

3) Poster (not included in the proceedings)

Papers accepted in the first 2 categories will be invited for presentation at the conference.
Posters will be illustrated by the authors in separate poster sessions.

Submissions are required to report on original, unpublished work and should not be submitted
simultaneously for publication elsewhere
(cf. IFIP's Author Code of Conduct, see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.ifip.org/__;!!IBzWLUs!XG9Ci_FvIoEfwzqmVU6qhtGJG3EL0_aj__am3AFSOJfgzP8AO_p-XUh9DmXZU77Ludy0O8tUiqpBn3zKXfFdpgfLlfR6r1XWogoGH_U$  under Publications/Links).


-- Proceedings and Special Issue --

The post-proceedings of FSEN'25 will be published by Springer in the LNCS series.
Following the tradition of FSEN, we plan to have a special issue of the
Science of Computer Programming journal devoted to FSEN'25. After the conference
a selection of papers will be invited for this special issue. The invited papers
should be revised and extended and will undergo a new round of review by an
international program committee. Please see the websites of previous editions of
FSEN for more information on post-proceedings and special issues related to those editions.
