CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The 7th NASA Formal Methods Symposium

       http://www.NASAFormalMethods.org/nfm2015
27 – 29 April 2015
Pasadena, California, USA

THEME

The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission- and safety-critical systems require advanced techniques that address their specification, verification, validation, and certification. 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. The focus of the symposium is on formal methods, and aims to foster collaboration between NASA researchers and engineers and the wider aerospace and academic formal methods communities. 

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Model checking
Theorem proving
SAT and SMT solving
Symbolic execution
Static analysis
Runtime verification
Systematic testing
Program refinement
Compositional verification
Modeling and specification formalisms
Model-based development
Model-based testing
Requirement engineering
Formal approaches to fault tolerance
Security and intrusion detection
Applications of formal methods
INVITED SPEAKERS

Dino Distefano
Software Engineer at Facebook, California, USA and Professor at Queen Mary University of London, UK.

Viktor Kuncak
Leads Lab for Automated Reasoning and Analysis at EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland.

Rob Manning
Chief Engineer at NASA/JPL.

LOCATION, COST, REGISTRATION AND HOTEL ROOM BOOKING

The symposium will take place at the Hilton Hotel, Pasadena, California, USA, April 27-29, 2015.
