NFM 2017 - Call For Participation
The 9th NASA Formal Methods Symposium
-------------------------------------
https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/events/nfm-2017/
May 16 - 18, 2017
NASA Ames Research Center
Moffett Field, CA, USA


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 mission-critical and safety-critical systems at NASA and in the aerospace industry. The focus of the symposium will be on formal techniques and other approaches for software assurance, 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.

Keynote speakers

* Michael Wagner, Carnegie Mellon University
* Ben Haldeman, Planet Labs
* Manu Sridharan, Uber Technologies Inc.
* Jason Crusan, NASA Advanced Exploration Systems Division
* Alexandre Arnold, Airbus

Co-located event: AFM Workshop 2017

AFM is a one-day workshop centered around the use and integration of highly automated formal verification tools for specification, interactive theorem proving, satisfiability (SAT) and satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), model checking, program verification, static analysis, runtime verification, code generation, and testing, as well as interfaces, documentation, and education. AFM functions both as a user's meeting for SRI's tools such as PVS, SAL and Yices, and as a workshop for those interested in state of the art automation for formal methods generally.

Paper deadline: March 27, 2017
Workshop: May 19, 2017
