 CALL FOR PAPERS
 
 The 7th NASA Formal Methods Symposium
 
 http://www.NASAFormalMethods.org/nfm2015
 
 27 – 29 April 2015
 Pasadena, California, USA
 
 Paper Submission: 10 Nov 2014
 
 THEME
 
 The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission- and
 safety-critical systems require advanced techniques that address
 their specification, verification, validation, and certification.
 
 The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is a forum for theoreticians and
 practitioners from academia, industry, and government, with the goals
 of identifying challenges and providing solutions to achieving
 assurance in mission- and safety-critical systems. Within NASA such
 systems include for example autonomous robots, separation assurance
 algorithms for aircraft, Next Generation Air Transportation
 (NextGen), and autonomous rendezvous and docking for
 spacecraft. Moreover, emerging paradigms such as property-based
 design, code generation, and safety cases are bringing with them new
 challenges and opportunities. The focus of the symposium will be on
 formal techniques, their theory, current capabilities, and
 limitations, as well as their application to aerospace, robotics, and
 other mission- and safety-critical systems in all design life-cycle
 stages. We encourage submissions on cross-cutting approaches marrying
 formal verification techniques with advances in critical system
 development, such as requirements generation, analysis of aerospace
 operational concepts, and formal methods integrated in early design
 stages and carrying throughout system development.
 
 
 TOPICS
 
 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 
 Model checking
 Theorem proving
 SAT and SMT solving
 Symbolic execution
 Static analysis
 Runtime verification
 Program refinement
 Compositional verification
 Modeling and specification formalisms
 Model-based development
 Model-based testing
 Requirement engineering
 Formal approaches to fault tolerance
 Security and intrusion detection
 Applications of formal methods to aerospace systems
 Applications of formal methods to cyber-physical systems
 Applications of formal methods to human-machine interaction analysis

 LOCATION AND COST
 
 The symposium will take place at the Hilton Hotel, Pasadena,
 California, USA, April 27-29, 2015.
 
 There will be no registration fee for participants. All interested
 individuals, including non-US citizens, are welcome to submit, to
 attend, to listen to the talks, and to participate in discussions;
 however, all attendees must register.
 
 
 SUBMISSION DETAILS
 
 There are two categories of submissions:
 
 - Regular papers describing fully developed work and complete results (15 pages)
 - Short papers describing tools, experience reports, or descriptions
   of work in progress with preliminary results   
   (6 pages)
 
 All papers should be in English and describe original work that has
 not been published or submitted elsewhere. All submissions will be
 fully reviewed by members of the Programme Committee. Papers will
 appear in a volume of Springer’s Lecture Notes on Computer Science
 (LNCS), and must use LNCS style formatting. Papers should be
 submitted in PDF format.
