CALL FOR PAPERS

**********************************************************************
9th International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods (iFM 2012)
in conjunction with ABZ 2012, in honor of Egon Boerger's 65th birthday
for his contribution to state-based formal methods

June 18 - 22, 2012 - CNR - Pisa - ITALY        http://ifm.isti.cnr.it

Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione ``A. Faedo''
Formal Methods && Tools Lab.
Via Moruzzi 1 - 56124 Pisa
**********************************************************************

OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE
Applying formal methods may involve the modeling of different
aspects of a system that are expressed through different paradigms.
Correspondingly, different analysis techniques will be used to
examine differently modeled system views, different kinds of
properties, or simply in order to cope with the sheer complexity
of the system.  The iFM conference series seeks to further research
into the combination of (formal and semi-formal) methods for system
development, regarding modeling and analysis, and covering all aspects
from language design through verification and analysis techniques
to tools and their integration into software engineering practice
Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

- Case Studies;
- Experience reports;
- Formal and semiformal modelling notations;
- Integration of formal methods into software engineering practice;
- Logics;
- Model checking;
- Model transformations;
- Semantics;
- Static Analysis;
- Refinement;
- Theorem proving;
- Tools;
- Type Systems;
- Verification


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
iFM 2012 solicits high quality papers reporting research results
and/ or experience reports related to the overall theme of method
integration.  The conference proceedings will be published by
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. All papers
must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication
elsewhere. All submissions must be in PDF format, using the Springer
LNCS style files; we suggest to use the LaTeX2e package (the llncs.cls
class file, available in llncs2e.zip and the typeinst.dem available in
typeinst.zip as a template for your contribution).  Submissions should
be made using the iFM 2012 Easychair web site. Papers should not exceed
15 pages in length. Each paper will undergo a thorough review process.

All accepted papers must be presented at the conference. Their authors
must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement.  At least
one author of each accepted paper must register to the conference by
the early date indicated by the organizers, and present the paper.
