19th International Symposium on Formal Methods

Call for Papers

Introduction of the Workshop

The International Workshop on Engineering Safety and Security Systems (ESSS) aims at contributing to the challenge of constructing reliable and secure systems. The workshop covers areas such as formal specification, (extended) type checking, model checking, program analysis/transformation, model-based testing and model-driven software construction. The workshop will bring together researchers and industry R&D expertise together to exchange their knowledge, discuss their research findings, and explore potential collaborations.

Theme of the Workshop

The main theme of the workshop is methods and techniques for constructing large reliable and secure systems. The goal of the workshop is to establish a platform for the exchange of ideas, discussion, cross-fertilization, inspiration, co-operation, and dissemination. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to:

  • methods, techniques and tools for system safety and security
  • methods, techniques and tools for analysis, certification, and debugging of complex safety and security systems
  • model-based and verification-based testing
  • emerging application domains such as cloud computing and cyber-physical systems
  • case studies and experience reports on the use of formal methods for analyzing safety and security systems

    • Submission guidelines

    Paper submissions must be original, unpublished work. Submissions should be in made via the Easychair site.

    Submitted manuscripts should be in English and formatted in the style of the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Format.

    Papers should not exceed 6 pages for full papers and 2 pages for short papers, including figures, references, and appendices. All submissions should be in PDF format. Submissions not adhering to the specified format and length may be rejected immediately, without review.

    All workshop papers will be published in the IEEE Digital Library in the form of a post-proceedings. A pre-workshop version of the papers will be available on the workshop website prior. Publication of accepted articles requires the commitment of one of the authors to register for the workshop and present the paper.
