PRELIMINARY CALL FOR TUTORIAL PAPERS
4th International Symposium on 1 - 4 November 2005
Formal Methods for Objects and Components CWI, Amsterdam
(FMCO 2005) The Netherlands
http://fmco.liacs.nl/fmco05.html
The FMCO symposium is an annual international event on the application and
development of formal methods in software engineering, with a special focus on
component-based and object-oriented software systems. We invite submissions of
tutorial papers on topics that fit under that rubric. Suggested, but not
exclusive, topics of interest for submissions include: models and logics for
object-oriented and component-based systems, formal aspects of analysis of large
systems, prediction, analysis and monitoring of extra-functional system
properties, applications of modal logics, temporal logics, and model checking
for the specification and verification of object-oriented languages, type
systems and type theory for objects and components, probabilistic systems,
process calculi, and semantics of object and component oriented language,
reasoning about security, trustworthiness and dependability of component-based
systems.
Important Dates
---------------
Authors are invited to submit a title and a short abstract of one or two pages
providing a tutorial perspective on research results or experience related to
the topics above. Accepted abstracts will be presented at the symposium and an
extended tutorial paper of about 20 pages in LNCS style will be refereed and
eventually published together with the contributions of the keynote speakers
after the symposium, in a proceeding of Lecture Notes in Computer Science by
Springer-Verlag. Selected papers will be published in revised and extended
version in the Elsevier journal Theoretical Computer Science.
Title and short abstract due: 5 Sep 2005 Tutorial paper due: 28 Feb 2006
Author notification: 1 Oct 2005 Author notification: 15 Apr 2006
Symposium: 1-4 Nov 2005 Camera-ready paper due: 15 May 2006
The short abstracts must be in English and provide sufficient detail to allow
the organizing committee and the advisory board to assess the merits of the
related tutorial paper. One author of each accepted abstract will be expected to
present the tutorial at the conference. The tutorial paper must be unpublished
and not submitted for publication, but may contain previously published
material. Short abstracts and tutorial paper must be submitted electronically to
F.S. de Boer (frb@cwi.nl) or M.M. Bonsangue (marcello@liacs.nl).
