Abstract

=== Objectives and scope ===<br>Applying formal methods may involve the usage of different formalisms<br>and different analysis techniques to validate a system, either because<br>individual components are most amenable to one formalism or technique,<br>because one is interested in different properties of the system, or<br>simply to cope with the sheer complexity of the system&#046; The iFM<br>conference series seeks to further research into hybrid approaches to<br>formal modeling and analysis: the combination of (formal and<br>semi&#8211;formal) methods for system development, regarding both modeling<br>and analysis&#046; The conference covers all aspects from language design<br>through verification and analysis techniques to tools and their<br>integration into software engineering practice&#046;<br>Areas of interest include but are not limited to:<br>&#8211; Formal and semi&#8211;formal modelling notations<br>&#8211; Combining formal methods<br>&#8211; Integration of formal methods into software engineering practice<br>&#8211; Program verification, model checking, and static analysis<br>&#8211; Theorem proving, decision procedures, SAT/SMT solving<br>&#8211; Runtime analysis, monitoring, and testing<br>&#8211; Program synthesis<br>&#8211; Analysis and synthesis of hybrid, embedded, probabilistic, distributed,<br>or concurrent systems<br>&#8211; Abstraction and refinement<br>&#8211; Model learning and inference<br>
