*Call for Papers*

The 17th ACM-IEEE International Conference on Formal Methods and Models for
System Design (MEMOCODE 2019)

San Diego, USA, October 9-11, 2019

*https://memocode.github.io/2019/ <https://memocode.github.io/2019/>*



*Overview: *Over the last decade, the boundaries between computer system
components, such as hardware, software, firmware, middleware, and
applications, have blurred. This evolution in system design and development
practices led in 2014 to a change in the title and scope of the
MEMOCODE conference
from its original focus on hardware/software co-design to its new focus on
formal methods and models for developing computer systems and their
components. MEMOCODE's objective is to emphasize the importance of models
and methodologies in correct system design and development, and to brings
together researchers and practitioners interested in formal methods for
system design and development, research results, and lessons learned. The
conference focuses on the foundations and applications of formal methods in
the development of hardware, firmware, middleware, and application software
for systems ranging from single embedded devices to highly networked
cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things.

MOMOCODE 2019 is the 17th ACM-IEEE International Conference on Formal
Methods and Models for System. The conference will be held in San Diego,
USA. It is the next event of a series of highly successful international
conferences, held in recent years as MEMOCODE 2018 (Beijing, China),
MEMOCODE 2017 (Vienna, Austria), MEMOCODE 2016

All accepted papers (regular papers, WIP papers, and tool papers) will be
published as IEEE conference proceedings with IEEE eXpress. Publication in
the proceedings is contingent on one author registering for and presenting
the paper at the conference. Selected papers will be invited for
publication in a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Embedded
Computing Systems.

*Paper Submission Guidelines*

MEMOCODE 2019 calls for three kinds of submissions: regular papers, work in
progress papers, and tool presentations. All papers must be written in
English and formatted according to the *IEEE Computer Society guidelines
<http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html>*,
including the IEEE Copyright templates. Submission of papers is
handled via *Easychair
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=memocode2019>*.

l  Regular papers must be no more than 10 pages, excluding bibliography and
appendices. They should describe original work that does not overlap with
another publication or a submission under review or accepted for
publication by any other conference or journal. Reviewers will check
regular papers for the novelty of the proposed solution and the proofs
given for the claims made.

l  Work-in-progress (WIP) papers must be no more than 4 pages, excluding
bibliography and appendices. They should describe ongoing work. Reviewers
will judge the novelty of the idea, but do not yet expect proofs for the
envisioned results.

l  Tool papers must be no more than 8 pages, excluding bibliography and
appendices. They should describe an existing and publicly available tool
that implements relevant methods. The methods might have been published
before, but the tool should not have been described in a tool paper
previously. In addition to reviewing the paper, reviewers will assess the
tool itself using inputs and a user's manual provided by the authors on the
tool's web page.

For questions regarding technical submissions, feel free to contact one of
the Program Committee co-chairs: *Sicun Gao(scungao at gmail.com
<scungao at gmail.com>)* and *Pierluigi Nuzzo(nuzzo at usc.edu <nuzzo at usc.edu>)*.
