NFM 2017 - Call For Papers
The 9th NASA Formal Methods Symposium
-------------------------------------
http://ti.arc.nasa.gov/events/nfm-2017/
May 16 - 18, 2017
NASA Ames Research Center
Moffett Field, CA, USA
Theme of the Symposium
----------------------
The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission-critical and
safety-critical systems at NASA and in the aerospace industry require
advanced techniques that address these systems? specification,
design, verification, validation, and certification requirements. The
NASA Formal Methods Symposium (NFM) is a forum to foster
collaboration between theoreticians and practitioners from NASA,
academia, and industry. NFM?s goals are to identify challenges and to
provide solutions for achieving assurance for such critical systems.
New developments and emerging applications like autonomous software
for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), UAS Traffic Management (UTM),
advanced separation assurance algorithms for aircraft, and the need
for system-wide fault detection, diagnosis, and prognostics provide
new challenges for system specification, development, and
verification approaches. Similar challenges need to be addressed
during development and deployment of on-board software for spacecraft
ranging from small and inexpensive CubeSat systems to manned
spacecraft like Orion, as well as for ground systems.
The focus of the symposium will be on formal techniques and other
approaches for software assurance, including their theory, current
capabilities and limitations, as well as their potential application
to aerospace, robotics, and other NASA-relevant safety-critical
systems during all stages of the software life-cycle.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
-------------------------------------------------
* Model checking
* Theorem proving
* SAT and SMT solving
* Symbolic execution
* Static analysis
* Model-based development
* Runtime verification
* Software and system testing
* Safety assurance
* Fault tolerance
* Compositional verification
* Security and intrusion detection
* Design for verification and correct-by-design techniques
* Techniques for scaling formal methods
* Formal methods for multi-core, GPU-based implementations
* Applications of formal methods in the development of:
* autonomous systems
* safety-critical artificial intelligence systems
* cyber-physical, embedded, and hybrid systems
* fault-detection, diagnostics, and prognostics systems
* Use of formal methods in:
* assurance cases
* human-machine interaction analysis
* requirements generation, specification, and validation
* automated testing and verification
