News
- The FTSCS 2013 preproceedings is now available.
- Due to the many good papers submitted, FTSCS 2013 will be a two-day event, taking place October 29-30, and hence overlapping with ICFEM the second day.
- The workshop poster is now available online. Please distribute!
- A text version of the CfP is now available online. Please distribute!
- A special issue of the Science of Computer Programming journal will be devoted to extended versions of selected papers from FTSCS 2013.
- The proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer's Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series.
- After the success of FTSCS 2012, we are getting ready for another run of FTSCS, also this time as a workshop affiliated with the ICFEM conference, which will take place in Queenstown, New Zealand, at the end of October 2013.
Overview and Scope
There is an increasing demand in industry to use formal methods to achieve software-independent verification and validation of safety-critical systems, e.g., in fields such as avionics, automotive, medical, and other cyber-physical systems. Newer standards, such as DO-178C (avionics) and ISO 26262 (automotive), emphasize the need for formal methods and model-based development, speeding up the adaptation of such methods in industry.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and engineers who are interested in the application of formal and semi-formal methods to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems. FTSCS strives strives to promote research and development of formal methods and tools for industrial applications, and is particularly interested in industrial applications of formal methods. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:
- case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods for analyzing safety-critical systems, including avionics, automotive, medical, and other kinds of safety-critical and QoS-critical systems
- methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis, certification, debugging, etc., of complex safety/QoS-critical systems
- analysis methods that address the limitations of formal methods in industry (usability, scalability, etc.)
- formal analysis support for modeling languages used in industry, such as AADL, Ptolemy, SysML, SCADE, Modelica, etc.
- code generation from validated models.
The workshop will provide a platform for discussions and the exchange of innovative ideas, so submissions on work in progress are encouraged.
