FROM 2024 Eighth Working Formal Methods Symposium

September 16-18, 2024, Timisoara, Romania

co-located with SYNASC 2024

DESCRIPTION

The Working Formal Methods Symposium (FROM) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who work on formal methods by contributing new theoretical results, methods, techniques, and frameworks, and/or by creating or using software tools that apply theoretical contributions. The program of the symposium includes invited lectures and regular contributions. Submissions on the general topics of formal methods, theoretical computer science, logic and applications are welcome. This event is co-located with the 26th International Symposium on Symbolic and Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing (SYNASC 2024).

SUBMISSIONS

Papers of up to 16 pages prepared according to the EPTCS template must be submitted electronically using the EasyChair submission system here: and choosing the track “Working Formal Methods Symposium.” Research papers must contain original research results not submitted and not published elsewhere. They will be considered for inclusion in the EPTCS proceedings of the symposium, which will be indexed in the Web of Science. Authors who want to present work in progress or discuss new aspects or a survey of their older research results at the workshop are welcome to submit an extended abstract (up to 8 pages). Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the topics of the symposium.
