-- About FSEN --

Fundamentals of Software Engineering (FSEN) is an international 
conference that aims to bring together researchers, engineers, 
developers, and practitioners from academia and industry to present and 
discuss their research work in the area of formal methods for software 
engineering. Additionally, this conference seeks to facilitate the 
transfer of experience, adaptation of methods, and where possible, 
foster collaboration among different groups. The topics of interest 
cover all aspects of formal methods, especially those related to 
advancing the application of formal methods in the software industry and 
promoting their integration with practical engineering techniques. 
Following the success of the previous FSEN editions, the next edition of 
the FSEN conference will take place in Tehran, Iran, May 1-3, 2019.

* Software specification, validation, and verification
* Software testing
* Software architectures and their description languages
* Object, actor and multi-agent systems
* Coordination, feature interaction and software product lines
* Integration of formal and informal methods
* Integration of different formal methods
* Component-based and Service-oriented software systems
* Collective, self-adaptive and cyber-physical software systems
* Model checking and theorem proving
* Quantitative formal methods
* Software and hardware verification
* CASE tools and tool integration
* Industrial Applications

-- Paper Submission --

Authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 15 pages including 
references) describing original research, applications and tools; or 
short papers (up to 6 pages including references) describing ongoing 
research or new ideas that have not yet been fully validated.
Both categories of papers must be submitted electronically in Postscript 
or PDF using the online submission process via the Easychair conference 
system at the following link: 
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fsen2019.

Contributions must be written in English, should be formatted according 
to the Springer LNCS style (LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates) that can be 
found at the following link 
(http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) 
and not exceed the page limit for the category (including figures and 
references).

Each submission will be thoroughly reviewed by at least three reviewers 
considering scientific originality, significance, relevance to the FSEN 
conference, technical soundness, clarity, self-containedness and 
discussion of appropriate related work.

The reviewers will be asked to rate the submissions and evaluate whether 
they can be accepted as:
1) Full paper for the LNCS post-proceedings and conference pre-proceedings
2) Short paper for the LNCS post-proceedings and conference pre-proceedings
3) Poster included only in the pre-proceedings
Papers accepted in the first 2 categories will be invited for 
presentation at the conference. Posters will be illustrated by the 
authors in separate poster sessions.

Submissions are required to report on original, unpublished work and 
should not be submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere (cf. 
IFIP's Author Code of Conduct, see http://www.ifip.org/ under 
Publications/Links).


-- Proceedings and Special Issue --

The post-proceedings of FSEN'19 will be published by Springer Verlag in 
the LNCS series. Pre-proceedings, printed locally by IPM, will be 
available at the conference. Following the tradition of FSEN, we plan to 
have a special issue of the Science of Computer Programming journal 
devoted to FSEN'19 (to be confirmed). After the conference a selection 
of papers will be invited for this special issue. The invited papers 
should be revised and extended and will undergo a new round of review by 
an international program committee. Please see the websites of previous 
editions of FSEN for more information on post-proceedings and special 
issues related to those editions.
