Abstract

FMCAD 2017 is the seventeenth in a series of conferences on the theory and applications of formal methods in hardware and system verification&#046; FMCAD provides a leading forum to researchers in academia and industry for presenting and discussing groundbreaking methods, technologies, theoretical results, and tools for reasoning formally about computing systems&#046; FMCAD covers formal aspects of computer&#8211;aided system design including verification, specification, synthesis, and testing&#046;<br>FMCAD employs a rigorous peer&#8211;review process&#046; Accepted papers are distributed through both ACM and IEEE digital libraries&#046; In addition, published articles are made available freely on the conference page; the authors retain the copyright&#046; There are no publication fees&#046; At least one of the authors is required to register for the conference and present the accepted paper&#046; A small number of outstanding FMCAD submissions will be considered for inclusion in a Special Issue of the journal on Formal Methods in System Design (FMSD)&#046;<br>TOPICS OF INTEREST<br>FMCAD welcomes submission of papers reporting original research on advances in all aspects of formal methods and their applications to computer&#8211; aided design&#046; Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):<br>Model checking, theorem proving, equivalence checking, abstraction and reduction, compositional methods, decision procedures at the bit&#8211; and word&#8211;level, probabilistic methods, combinations of deductive methods and decision procedures&#046;<br>Synthesis and compilation for computer system descriptions, modeling, specification, and implementation languages, formal semantics of languages and their subsets, model&#8211;based design, design derivation and transformation, correct&#8211;by&#8211;construction methods&#046;<br>Application of formal and semi&#8211;formal methods to functional and non&#8211;functional specification and validation of hardware and software, including timing and power modeling, verification of computing systems on all levels of abstraction, system&#8211;level design and verification for embedded systems, cyber&#8211;physical systems, automotive systems and other safety&#8211;critical systems, hardware&#8211;software co&#8211;design and verification, and transaction&#8211;level verification&#046;<br>Experience with the application of formal and semi&#8211;formal methods to industrial&#8211;scale designs; tools that represent formal verification enablement, new features, or a substantial improvement in the automation of formal methods&#046;<br>Application of formal methods to verifying safety, connectivity and security properties of networks and distributed systems&#046;<br>
