Abstract

SBMF 2016 is the nineteenth of a series of events devoted to the development, dissemination and use of formal methods for the construction of high&#8211;quality computational systems&#046; It is now a well&#8211;established event, with an international reputation&#046;<br>SBMF 2016 will take place in Natal, the capital of the state Rio Grande do Norte, that is located in the northeast region in Brazil&#046; Natal is a portal of entry to South America: near to the point closest to Europe and Africa&#046; Natal is a modern and lively town that emerged between a river and the sea; it is adorned by dunes and lots of green areas: a land of colours and flavours, where you find leisure and adventure&#046; In Natal, it is Summer all year round, in a unique coastline of breathtaking beaches, lakes, wilderness, culinary, tours, art and culture, together with the great natural hospitality of its people&#046;<br>Natal is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world&#046; It has around 800,000 inhabitants and receives more than 2 million / year tourists from Brazil and abroad&#046; Visitors are dazzled by more than 400 km of Atlantic Coast strolling through beautiful beaches, many of which visited in thrilling buggy rides between sea, dunes and lagoons&#046; It is known as the "Sun City", and is also remembered as "World Buggy Capital" and "Land of Shrimp"&#046; Natal is the city where a brazilian dance, called Forró &#8211; "For All" &#8211; was born&#046;<br>The aim of SBMF is to provide a venue for the presentation and discussion of high&#8211;quality work in formal methods&#046; The topics include, but are not limited to, the following:<br>techniques and methodologies, such as method integration; software and hardware co&#8211;design; model&#8211;driven engineering; formal aspects of popular methodologies; formal design; development methodologies with formal foundations; software evolution based on formal methods;<br>specification and modeling languages, such as well&#8211;founded specification and design languages; formal aspects of popular languages; logics and semantics for programming and specification languages; code generation; formal methods and models for objects, aspects, component&#8211;based, real&#8211;time, hybrid, critical, and service&#8211;oriented systems;<br>theoretical foundations, such as domain theory; type systems and category theory; computational complexity of methods and models; computational models; term rewriting; models of concurrency, security and mobility;<br>verification and validation, such as abstraction, modularization and refinement techniques; program and test synthesis; correctness by construction; model checking; theorem proving; static analysis; formal techniques for software testing; software certification; formal techniques for software inspection;<br>education, such as teaching of, for and with formal methods;<br>applications, such as experience reports on the use of formal methods; industrial case studies; tool support&#046;<br>
