The 15th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal
Methods, SEFM 2017, will be held in Trento, Italy, September 4-8, 2017.
The conference aims to bring together leading researchers and
practitioners from academia, industry and government, to advance the
state of the art in formal methods, to facilitate their uptake in the
software industry, and to encourage their integration within practical
software engineering methods and tools.
Topics Of Interest
The topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited
to the following aspects of software engineering and formal methods:
* New frontiers in software architecture: self-adaptive,
service-oriented and cloud computing systems; component, object and
multi-agent systems; real-time, hybrid and embedded systems;
reconfigurable systems.
* Software verification and testing: model checking, theorem proving
and decision procedures; verification and validation; probabilistic
verification and synthesis; testing, re-engineering and reuse.
* Software development methods: requirement analysis, modeling,
specification and design; light-weight and scalable formal methods;
software evolution, maintenance and reuse.
* Application and technology transfer: case studies, best practices
and experience reports; tool integration; education; HCI, interactive
systems and human error analysis.
* Security and safety: security and mobility; safety-critical, fault-tolerant and secure systems; software certification.
* Design principles: programming languages; domain specific languages; type theory; abstraction and refinement.
Invited Speakers
