The conference aims to attract researchers interested in real-time issues in hardware design, performance analysis, real-time software, scheduling, semantics and verification of real-timed, hybrid and probabilistic systems. We particularly encourage submissions concerning applications of real-time systems and on relevant topics in interdisciplinary areas, such as robot motion planning. Typical topics include (but are not limited to): (1) Foundations and Semantics Theoretical foundations of timed systems and languages; comparison between different models (timed automata, timed Petri nets, hybrid automata, timed process algebra, max-plus algebra, probabilistic models). (2) Methods and Tools Techniques, algorithms, data structures, and software tools for analyzing timed systems and resolving temporal constraints (scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis, optimization, model checking, testing, constraint solving, etc.). (3) Applications Adaptation and specialization of timing technology in application domains such as real-time software, hardware circuits, and problems of scheduling in manufacturing and telecommunication. Special Sessions: Control Synthesis and Motion Planning for Cyber-physical and Control Systems There will be a special session on control synthesis and motion planning for cyber-physical and control systems in FORMATS this year. Real-world systems often include physical components, which impose constraints on the time and space evolution of the system, e.g., robots, smart cities, and medical devices. In this session, we are interested in all approaches, including both model-based and data-driven, to analysis and control design for such systems with logical and temporal specifications. We welcome submissions on this topic and in relevant areas. Paper Submission: FORMATS 2021 solicits high-quality papers reporting research results and/or experience reports related to the topics mentioned above. Submitted papers must contain original, unpublished contributions, not submitted for publication elsewhere. The papers should be submitted electronically in PDF, following the Springer LNCS style guidelines. Regular papers should not exceed 15 pages in length (excluding references, that are therefore not limited), and short papers (for instance describing case studies, or implementations) are limited to 5 pages. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process. If necessary, the paper may be supplemented with a clearly marked appendix, which will be reviewed at the discretion of the program committee. Papers will be submitted electronically via the EasyChair online submission system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=formats2021 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=formats2021> The proceedings of FORMATS 2021 will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The best paper of the conference will be awarded the Oded Maler Award in Timed Systems. Important Note Concerning the COVID-19 Pandemic: As per common decision of the organizers and chairs of the QONFEST conferences, FORMATS will be organized as a virtual conference.

In keeping with the tradition of the two events, we invite proposals for colocated workshops and tutorials on all topics related to logical reasoning: from theoretical aspects, to applications, to tools for interactive or automated reasoning. Workshops and tutorials can target the logical systems community in general, or alternatively focus on a particular system, recent theoretical development or application. TABLEAUX 2021 and FroCoS 2021 are intended to be hybrid conferences welcoming both physical and virtual participation. The organisers are closely monitoring the pandemic situation and may choose to make the conference virtual-only if it seems unreasonable to host any sort of physical event. A final decision will be taken before 14 June (12 weeks before the conference) to leave ample time for potential travel plans to be made. If in-person participation is possible, colocated events should take place on 6 and 8 September 2021. Workshop/tutorial-only attendees will enjoy a significantly reduced registration fee. Detailed matters such as the paper submission and review process, or the publication of proceedings, are up to the organisers of individual events. All accepted workshops and tutorials will be expected to have their program ready by *10 August 2021*. Proposals are invited to be submitted by email to frocos2021(a)easychair.org <mailto:frocos2021@easychair.org> and tableaux21(a)easychair.org <mailto:tableaux21@easychair.org> , no later than *19 April 2021*. Selected events will be notified by *26 April 2021*. The workshop/tutorial selection committee consists of the FroCoS and TABLEAUX program chairs. TUTORIALS We expect tutorials to be delivered in hybrid mode, combining the use of pre-recorded lecture material and (online or face-to-face) synchronous sessions. Proposals for tutorials should contain at least the following pieces of information: * name and contact details of the main organiser(s) * (if applicable) names of additional organisers * title of the tutorial * estimated number of attendees * short description of topic (up to one page) WORKSHOPS Proposals for workshops should contain at least the following pieces of information: * name and contact details of the main organiser(s) * (if applicable) names of additional organisers * title and organisational style of event (public workshop, project workshop, etc.) * preferred workshop mode (hybrid, situation permitting, or fully online) * estimated number of attendees * short description of topic (up to one page) * (if applicable) pointers to previous editions of the workshop, or to similar events
