Notification of Acceptance: 14 July 2008
Final version due: 5 August 2008

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP
———————
The aim of the ERCIM FMICS workshop series is to provide a forum for
researchers who are interested in the development and application of
formal methods in industry. In particular, these workshops bring
together scientists and engineers that are active in the area of
formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the
industrial usage of these methods. The FMICS workshop series also
aims to promote research and development that will improve formal
methods and related tools, facilitating their industrial application.
Topics include, but are not restricted to:
- Design, specification, code generation and testing based on formal
methods
- Verification and validation of complex, distributed, real-time
systems and embedded systems
- Verification and validation methods that address shortcomings
of existing methods with respect to their industrial applicability
(e.g., scalability and usability issues)
- Tools for the development of formal design descriptions
- Case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of formal
methods, focusing on lessons learned or identification of new research
directions
- Impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process
and associated costs
- Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial
forums

PAPER SUBMISSIONS
—————–
Submissions must be made electronically through the FMICS 2008 Web
site at URL:
http://senldogo0039.springer-sbm.com/fmics2008/servlet/Conference
Papers should be up to 16 pages in LNCS format, with the names and
affiliations of the authors and a clear and informative
abstract. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked
appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program
committee. All submissions must report on original research.
Submitted papers must not have previously appeared in a journal or
conference with published proceedings and must not be concurrently
submitted to any other peer-reviewed workshop, symposium, conference
or archival journal. Any partial overlap with any such published or
concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated.
Case study papers should identify lessons learned, validate theoretical
results (such as scalability of methods), or provide specific motivation
for further research and development.

PUBLICATION
———–
Participant’s proceedings will be available during the workshop. A
post-workshop proceedings volume will be published by Springer Verlag
in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
