*=================================================* The 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Formal Methods Integration – FMi 2015 In conjunction with the 16th IEEE IRI 2015 http://www.ieee-iri.org San Francisco, USA, August 13-15, 2015 *==================================================* *Important dates * Abstract Submission deadline: April 7, 2015 Paper submission deadline: April 15, 2015 May 4, 2015 Paper notification: May 20, 2015 June 1, 2015 Camera-ready paper due: May 30, 2015 June 7, 2015 Registration due: May 30, 2015 June 7, 2015 *Scope and topics* Formal methods seek to contribute to the engineering of dependable systems by applying sound techniques based on computer science fundamentals. Complex systems often involve different formalisms to deal with the modeling of their different aspects, as each formalism is specific to only some system aspects and none is perfectly supporting all aspect constructs and their related semantics. Accordingly, different analysis techniques are required to check the different system views and verify different kinds of properties. Formalism integration is intended to support coherent specification and analysis of different aspects of a system. The FMi workshop aims at further research into hybrid approaches to formal modeling and analysis. It seeks contributions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of integrating methods, either formal or semi-formal, for system development, covering all engineering development phases from user requirements through design and analysis techniques to tools. The workshop also encourages new initiatives of building bridges between informal, semi-formal, and formal notations. Authors are invited to submit both research and tool papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - scalable formal methods, - component-based specification and analysis, - integrated software/hardware specification and analysis, - hybrid and embedded systems modeling and analysis, - object and multi-agent systems modeling and analysis, - requirement specification and analysis, - software and hardware specification, verification, and validation, - theorem proving and decision procedures, - formal aspects of software evolution and maintenance, - formal methods for re-engineering and reuse, - formal languages integration, - semi-formal (UML, SysML, …) and formal model integration, - informal and formal language integration, - integration of formal methods into software engineering practice, - integrated analysis techniques, - tools integration, - integration of formal methods in education, - integration of formal methods in health, - integration of formal methods in industry, - integration of formal methods in security. *Paper submission * Submitted papers must be unpublished and not considered elsewhere for publication. Submissions will undergo a rigorous review process handled by the Technical Program Committee. Papers will be selected based on their originality, significance, relevance, and clarity of presentation. Only electronic submissions in PDF format through the EasyChair submission site: *https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmi2015 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmi2015>* will be considered. Papers must be in English, up to 8 pages in IEEE format, including references and appendices. The IEEE LaTeX and Microsoft Word templates, as well as formatting guidelines, can be found on the paper submission instructions available at the main conference website. *Paper publication * At least one of the authors must register and present the paper, if accepted. Registered papers will be published as workshop papers in the IEEE IRI conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be invited to be extended and considered for publication in a special issue of Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing, edited by Springer (confirmed) and Information Systems Frontiers, edited by Springer (pending). *Workshop Chair* Thouraya Bouabana Tebibel, LCSI Laboratory, Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Informatique – ESI, Alger, Algeria *Program Committee* Alessandro Abate, University of Oxford, UK Erika Ábrahám, RWTH Aachen University, Germany Wolfgang Ahrendt, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Yamine Ait Ameur, University of Toulouse, France Keijiro Araki, Kyushu University, Japan Cyrille Artho, AIST, Japan Kyungmin Bae, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Luis Barbosa, Universidade do Minho, Portugal Kamel Barkaoui, CNAM, France Marcello Bonsangue, Leiden University, The Netherlands Phillip J Brooke, Teesside University, UK Andrew Butterfield, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Radu Calinescu, University of York, UK Allaoua Chaoui, University of Constantine, Algeria Krishnendu Chatterjee, Institute of Science and Technology, Austria Hung Dang-Van, UET, Vietnam National University, Vietnam John Derrick, University of Sheffield, UK Bernd Finkbeiner, Saarland University, Germany Alex Groce, Oregon State University, USA Reiner Hähnle, Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany René Rydhof Hansen, Aalborg University, Denmark Klaus Havelund, JPL, California Institute of Technology, USA Rolf Hennicker, Ludwig-Maximilians University, Germany Nadjet Kamel, University of Sétif, Algeria Ferhat Khendek, Concordia University, Canada Peter Gorm Larsen, Aarhus University, Denmark Michele Loreti, University of Florence, Italy José Merseguer, University of Zaragoza, Spain Bruno Monsuez, Ensta, France Wojciech Mostowski, University of Twente, The Netherlands Alexandre Mota, Centre of Informatics, Brazil John Mullins, École polytechnique de Montréal, Canada Brina Nielsen, Aalborg University, Denmark Gordon J.
