SEFM 2013 - International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods

The aim of the conference is to bring together practitioners and researchers 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 with practical engineering methods. Papers that combine formal methods and software engineering are especially welcome.
Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on any relevant topic. These can either be normal or short papers. Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Formal requirement analysis, specification and design.
Programming languages, program analysis and type theory.
Formal methods for service-oriented and cloud computing.
Formal aspects of security and mobility model checking, theorem proving and decision procedures.
Formal methods for real-time, hybrid and embedded systems.
Formal methods for safety-critical, fault- tolerant and secure systems.
Software architecture and coordination languages.
Component, object and multi-agent systems formal aspects of software evolution and maintenance.
Formal methods for testing, re-engineering and reuse.
Light-weight and scalable formal methods.
Tool integration.
Applications of formal methods, industrial case studies and technology transfer.
Education and formal methods.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
