CfP: F-IDE, 7th Workshop on Formal Integrated Development Environment

affiliated with SEFM 2022, September 26, 2022, Berlin, Germany



Abstract registration deadline: 24  July 2022

Submission deadline:  31 July 2022

Notification: 23 August 2022

OVERVIEW

High levels of safety, security, and privacy standards require the use of formal methods

to specify and develop compliant software (sub-)systems. Any standard comes with an

assessment process, which requires a complete application documentation to ease the

justification of design choices and the review of code and proofs.

Ideally, an F-IDE dedicated to such developments should comply with several requirements.

The first one is to associate a logical theory with a programming language, in a way that

facilitates the tightly coupled handling of specification properties and program constructs.

The second is to offer a language/environment simple enough to be usable by most developers,

even if they are not fully acquainted with higher-order logic or set theory, in particular

by making  development of proofs as easy as possible. The third is to offer automated

management of application documentation. It may also be expected that developments done

with such an F-IDE are reusable and modular. Tools for testing and static analysis may

be embedded within F-IDEs to support the assessment process.





TOPICS

The workshop is open to contributions on all aspects of a system development process,

including specification, design, implementation, analysis, and documentation. It welcomes

the presentation of tools, methods, techniques and experiments. Topics of interest include,

but are not limited to, the following:

- F-IDE building: design and integration of languages, development of user-friendly front-ends

- How to make high-level logical and programming concepts palatable to industrial developers

- Integration of Object-Oriented and modularity features

- Integration of static analyzers

- Integration of automatic proof tools, theorem provers and testing tools

- Documentation tools

- Impact of tools on certification

- Experience reports on developing F-IDEs

- Experience reports on using F-IDEs

- Experience reports on formal methods-based assessments in industrial applications



SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We accept both long (15 pages) and short (6 pages) paper submissions. The page limit does not

include the bibliography. Submitted papers must present original contributions whose main

results and conclusions have not been published or submitted elsewhere. Each submission will

be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee.



Submitted papers must be written in English and follow the LNCS style format.

Authors are invited to submit the following types of contributions:

- Research papers providing new concepts and results

- Experience reports

- Position papers and research perspectives

- Tool presentations



Papers should be submitted via EasyChair at F-IDE 2022's workshop page. Preliminary proceedings

will be made available in electronic form at the workshop. Post-proceedings are planned to be

published in Springer's Lecture Notes  in Computer Science series.
