Submission Guidelines
We solicit two categories of papers:
- Regular papers describing original research results, case studies, or surveys. Regular papers should not exceed 15 pages, excluding bibliography.
- Tool papers that describe an operational tool and its contributions. Tool papers should not exceed 6 pages (including bibliography) and should include the URL of the tool.
All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted concurrently for publication elsewhere. Paper submission is done via EasyChair Papers must be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers.
List of Topics
SEFM aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government, to advance the state of the art in formal methods, to facilitate their uptake in the software industry, and to encourage their integration within practical software engineering methods and tools. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following aspects of software engineering and formal methods:
Software Development Methods
- Formal modeling, specification, and design
- Software evolution, maintenance, re-engineering, and reuse
Design Principles
- Programming languages
- Domain-specific languages
- Type theory
- Abstraction and refinement
Software Testing, Validation, and Verification
- Model checking, theorem proving, and decision procedures
- Testing and runtime verification
- Statistical and probabilistic analysis
- Synthesis
- Performance estimation and analysis of other non-functional properties
- Other light-weight and scalable formal methods# Security and Safety
- Security, privacy, and trust
- Safety-critical, fault-tolerant, and secure systems
- Software certification
Applications and Technology Transfer
- Service-oriented and cloud computing systems, Internet of Things
- Component, object, multi-agent and self-adaptive systems
- Real-time, hybrid, and cyber-physical systems
- Intelligent systems and machine learning
- HCI, interactive systems, and human error analysis
- Education
Case studies, best practices, and experience reports
