Symposium: 11-15 May 2020
Theme of the Symposium:
----------------------------------
The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission-critical and
safety-critical systems at NASA and the aerospace industry requires
advanced techniques that address their specification, design, verification,
validation, and certification requirements. The NASA Formal Methods
Symposium is a forum to foster collaboration between theoreticians and
practitioners from NASA, academia, and industry, with the goal of
identifying challenges and providing solutions towards achieving assurance
for such critical systems.
New developments and emerging applications like autonomous on-board
Software for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), UAS Traffic Management (UTM),
advanced separation assurance algorithms for aircraft, and the need for
system-wide fault detection, diagnosis, and prognostics provide new
challenges for system specification, development, and verification
approaches. The focus of these symposiums are on formal techniques and
other approaches for software assurance, including their theory, current
capabilities and limitations, as well as their potential application to
aerospace, robotics, and other NASA-relevant safety-critical systems during
all stages of the software life-cycle.
Topics of Interest:
-----------------------
We encourage submissions on cross-cutting approaches that bring together
formal methods and techniques from other domains such as probabilistic
reasoning, machine learning, control theory, robotics, and quantum
computing among others.
· Formal verification, including theorem proving, model checking,
and static analysis
· Advances in automated theorem proving including SAT and SMT
solving
· Run-time verification
· Techniques and algorithms for scaling formal methods, such as
abstraction and symbolic methods, compositional techniques, as well as
parallel and/or distributed techniques
· Code generation from formally verified models
· Safety cases and system safety
· Formal approaches to fault tolerance
· Design for verification and correct-by-design techniques
· Theoretical advances and empirical evaluations of formal methods
techniques for safety-critical systems, including hybrid and embedded
systems
· Formal methods in systems engineering and model-based development
· Applications of formal methods in the development of:
o autonomous systems
o safety-critical artificial intelligence systems
o cyber-physical, cyber-security, embedded, and hybrid systems
o fault-detection, diagnostics, and prognostics systems
· Use of formal methods in:
o assurance cases
o human-machine interaction analysis
o requirements generation, specification, and validation
o automated testing and verification
Location & Cost:
