-----------------------------------------------------------------
FORMATS 2014
12th International Conference on
Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems
Call for Papers
http://formats2014.unifi.it/
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Objective
---------
Timing aspects of systems from a variety of computer science
domains have been treated independently by different
communities. Researchers interested in semantics, verification
and performance analysis study models such as timed automata and
timed Petri nets, the digital design community focusses on
propagation and switching delays while designers of embedded
controllers have to take account of the time taken by controllers
to compute their responses after sampling the environment.
Timing-related questions in these separate disciplines do have
their particularities. However, there is a growing awareness that
there are basic problems that are common to all of them. In
particular, all these sub-disciplines treat systems whose
behaviour depends upon combinations of logical and temporal
constraints; namely, constraints on the temporal distances
between occurrences of events.
Topics
------
The aim of FORMATS is to promote the study of fundamental and
practical aspects of timed systems, and to bring together
researchers from different disciplines that share interests in
modelling and analysis of timed systems. Typical topics include
(but are not limited to):
* 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).
* 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.).
* Applications: Adaptation and specialization of timing
technology in application domains in which timing plays an
important role (real-time software, hardware circuits, and
problems of scheduling in manufacturing and telecommunication).
Paper Submission
----------------
FORMATS 2014 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 Submitted papers must contain original, unpublished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. Submissions should not exceed 15
pages in length.
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 should be submitted electronically via EasyChair online
submission system:
https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=formats2014
The proceedings of FORMATS 2014 will be published by Springer in
the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

* Notification of acceptance: June 9, 2014
* Final version due: June 23, 2014

Venue
-----
FORMATS 2014 will take place in Florence, Italy as part of
FLORENCE 2014, a one-week scientific event on formal and
quantitative methods for the development of dependable and
performing systems:
http://www.florence2014.org/
It will be held in Florence during the week 8-12 September 2014,
and it will co-locate five major conferences in the areas of
formal and quantitative analysis of systems, performance
engineering, computer safety, and industrial critical
applications.
All the conferences will take place at the Aeronautical Sciences
School of the Italian Air Force, inside the monumental and
historical park of Cascine in the city of Florence.
