In particular, FMICS brings together scientists and engineers who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. The FMICS conference series also strives to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications. Important Dates (AoE) Abstract submission: 1 May 2019 (extended; was 19 April) Paper submission: 3 May 2019 (extended; was 26 April) Notifications: 5 June 2019 Camera ready: 19 June 2019 Conference: 30-31 August 2019 Topics Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of formal methods, focusing on lessons learned or identification of new research directions. - Methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis, certification, debugging, descriptions, learning, optimisation and transformation of complex, distributed, real-time, embedded, mobile and autonomous systems. - Verification and validation methods (model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT constraint solving, abstract interpretation, etc.) that address shortcomings of existing methods with respect to their industrial applicability (e.g., scalability and usability issues). - Impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process and associated costs. Application of formal methods in standardisation and industrial forums. Keynote Speakers (confirmed) - Jaco van de Pol (Aarhus University and University of Twente) - Holger Hermanns (Saarland University) Submission and Publication Papers must describe authors' original research work and results.

AlCoB 2019: call for posters*To be removed from our mailing list, please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line* -------------------------------------------------------------- The 6th International Conference on Algorithms for Computational Biology (AlCoB 2019) invites researchers to submit poster presentations. AlCoB 2019 will be held in Berkeley on May 28-30, 2019. See http://alcob2019.irdta.eu/ Poster presentations are intended to enhance informal interactions with conference participants, at the same time allowing for in-depth discussion. TOPICS Presentations displaying novel work in progress on algorithms in computational biology are encouraged on the following topics: - assembling sequence reads into a complete genome, - identifying gene structures in the genome, - recognizing regulatory motifs, - aligning nucleotides and comparing genomes, - reconstructing regulatory networks of genes, and - inferring the evolutionary phylogeny of species. Posters do not need to show final research results. Work that might lead to new interesting developments is welcome. KEY DATES Poster submission deadline: April 21, 2019 Notification of poster acceptance or rejection: April 28, 2019 SUBMISSION Please submit a .pdf abstract through: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=alcob2019 It should contain the title, author(s) and affiliation, and should not exceed 500 words. PRESENTATION Posters will be allocated 10 minutes each in the programme for oral presentation. Moreover, they will remain hanging out during the whole conference for discussion. PUBLICATION Posters will not appear in the LNCS/LNBI proceedings volume of AlCoB 2019. However, they will be eligible for submission to the post-conference journal special issue in IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (2017 JCR impact factor: 2.428). REGISTRATION At least one author of each accepted poster must register to the conference by May 14, 2019. The registration fare is reduced: 285 Euros. It gives the same rights all other conference participants have (attendance, copy of the proceedings volume, lunches, coffee breaks). Contributors of regular papers who in addition get a poster accepted must register for the latter independently.

FMICS 2019: Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems; deadlines: 19 April (abstract); 26 April (paper)

von Tim Willemse

Apologies for multiple postings. ------------------------------------------------ FMICS 2019: the 24th International Conference on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems Co-located with CONCUR and FORMATS Aug 30-31, 2019, Amsterdam, The Netherlands https://fmics2019.fsa.win.tue.nl ------------------------------------------------ The aim of the FMICS conference series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. In particular, FMICS brings together scientists and engineers who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. The FMICS conference series also strives to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications. Important Dates Abstract submission: 19 April 2019 Paper submission: 26 April 2019 Notifications: 5 June 2019 Camera ready: 19 June 2019 Conference: 30-31 August 2019 Topics Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of formal methods, focusing on lessons learned or identification of new research directions. - Methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis, certification, debugging, descriptions, learning, optimisation and transformation of complex, distributed, real-time, embedded, mobile and autonomous systems. - Verification and validation methods (model checking, theorem proving, SAT/SMT constraint solving, abstract interpretation, etc.) that address shortcomings of existing methods with respect to their industrial applicability (e.g., scalability and usability issues). - Impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process and associated costs. Application of formal methods in standardisation and industrial forums. Keynote Speakers (confirmed) - Jaco van de Pol (Aarhus University and University of Twente) - Holger Hermanns (Saarland University) Submission and Publication Papers must describe authors' original research work and results. Submitted papers must not have previously appeared in a journal or conference with published proceedings and must not be concurrently submitted to any other peer-reviewed workshop, symposium, conference or archival journal. Any partial overlap with any such published or concurrently submitted paper must be clearly indicated. Submissions should clearly motivate relevance to industrial application. Case study papers should identify lessons learned, validate theoretical results (such as scalability of methods) or provide specific motivation for further research and development. Papers should not exceed 15 pages (excluding max. 2 pages of references) formatted according to the LNCS style (Springer). All submissions will be reviewed by the Programme Committee who will make a selection among the submissions based on the novelty, soundness and applicability of the presented ideas and results. Papers must be written in English and should be submitted as Portable Document Format (PDF) files using the EasyChair submission site: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmics2019 The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in their LNCS series.
