--------------------------------------------------

Theme of Conference:

--------------------------------------------------


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. Within NASA, for example, such
systems

include autonomous robots, separation assurance algorithms for aircraft,

Next Generation Air Transportation (NextGen), and autonomous rendezvous and

docking for spacecraft. Moreover, emerging paradigms such as code generation

and safety cases are bringing with them new challenges and opportunities.

The focus of the symposium will be on formal techniques, their theory,

current capabilities, and limitations, as well as their application to

aerospace, robotics, and other safety-critical systems.


--------------------------------------------------

Topics of Interest:

--------------------------------------------------


* Formal verification, including theorem proving, model checking,

  and static analysis

* Automated test generation and testing techniques for safety-critical
systems

* Model-based development

* Techniques and algorithms for scaling formal methods, such as abstraction

  and symbolic methods, compositional techniques, as well as parallel and

  distributed techniques

* Monitoring and runtime verification

* Code generation from formally verified models

* Significant applications of formal methods to aerospace systems

* Modeling and verification aspects of cyber-physical systems

* Safety cases

* Accident/safety analysis

* Formal approaches to fault tolerance

* Theoretical advances and empirical evaluations of formal methods

* Techniques for safety-critical systems, including hybrid and embedded
systems

* Formal methods in systems engineering


--------------------------------------------------

Invited Speakers:

--------------------------------------------------


* Andrew Appel, Princeton University

* Patrick Cousot, Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris and New York University

* Cesare Tinelli, University of Iowa

Important Dates:

-------------------------------------------------------


Submission Deadline: 11 December 2011

Notification: 21 January 2012

Final Version: 4 February 2012

Conference: 3 - 5 April 2012


--------------------------------------------------

Submissions:

--------------------------------------------------


There are two categories of submissions:


* Regular papers describing fully developed work and complete

  results (15 pages/30 minute talks)

* Short papers describing tools, experience reports, or descriptions

  of work in progress or preliminary results (6 pages/15 minute talks)


  All papers should be in English and describe original work that has not

  been published or submitted elsewhere. All submissions will be fully
reviewed

  by members of the program committee and the Symposium proceedings
(including

  regular papers and short papers) will appear as a volume in Lecture Notes

  in Computer Science. Papers must use the LNCS style, and be in PDF format.


  Papers should be submitted through the following
