BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The aim of the conference is to bring together practitioners and 
researchers from academia, industry and government to advance the state 
of the art in formal methods, to facilitate their uptake in the software 
industry and to encourage their integration with practical engineering 
methods. Papers that combine formal methods and software engineering are 
especially welcome.

Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on any 
relevant topic. These can either be normal or short papers. Short papers 
can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development and 
which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated.

TOPICS

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
   * formal requirement analysis, specification and design
   * programming languages, program analysis and type theory
   * formal methods for service-oriented and cloud computing
   * formal aspects of security and mobility
   * model checking, theorem proving and decision procedures
   * formal methods for real-time, hybrid and embedded systems
   * formal methods for safety-critical, fault-tolerant and secure systems
   * software architecture and coordination languages
   * component, object and multi-agent systems
   * formal aspects of software evolution and maintenance
   * formal methods for testing, re-engineering and reuse
   * light-weight and scalable formal methods
   * tool integration
   * applications of formal methods, industrial case studies and 
technology transfer

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

   * Holger Hermanns, Saarland University, Germany
   * Mike Hinchey, Lero-The Irish Software Engineering Research Centre, 
Ireland
   * Daniel Le Métayer - INRIA, France

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be 
concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions will 
be peer-reviewed and judged on the basis of originality, contribution to 
the field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the 
conference. All papers must be written in English.

Research and tool papers must not exceed 16 pages in the LNCS format 
while short papers must not exceed 8 pages in the LNCS format (see 
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for details). All queries 
on the submissions should be sent to: sefm2011 at fing.edu.uy. Papers must 
be submitted electronically via the Easychair System:  
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sefm11

The proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in 
Computer Science series (LNCS, http://www.springer.com/lncs).

After the conference, authors of selected papers will be invited to 
submit an extended version of their work to be considered for 
publication in a special issue of the SoSyM journal (Software and 
Systems Modeling, Springer), following the standard reviewing process of 
the journal.
