FROM 2026 - Final Call for Papers

           Tenth Working Formal Methods Symposium

          September 15-17, 2026, Timisoara, Romania
               https://from2026.uvt.ro
        co-located with SYNASC 2026
          https://synasc.ro/2026/


DESCRIPTION
-----------
The Working Formal Methods Symposium (FROM) aims to bring together
researchers and practitioners who work on formal methods by contributing
new theoretical results, methods, techniques, and frameworks, and/or by
creating or using software tools that apply theoretical contributions.

The program of the symposium includes invited lectures and regular contributions.
Submissions on the general topics of formal methods, theoretical computer
science, logic and applications are welcome.

This event is co-located with the 28th International Symposium on Symbolic and
Numeric Algorithms for Scientific Computing (SYNASC 2026).

ORGANIZERS
----------
Faculty of Informatics of West University of Timisoara  (https://info.uvt.ro/en/)
Institute for Logic and Data Science (ILDS, https://ilds.ro/)

IMPORTANT DATES
---------------
Deadline for paper/abstract submission: June 30, 2026 (AoE)
Deadline for author notification: July 25, 2026 (AoE)
Deadline for revised paper/abstract submission: August 23, 2026 (AoE)
Deadline for registration: September 4, 2026 (AoE)
Symposium: September 15-17, 2026

SUBMISSIONS
-----------
Papers of up to 16 pages prepared according to the EPTCS template
(see http://style.eptcs.org/) must be submitted electronically
using the EasyChair submission system at:

https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=synasc2026

and choosing the track "FROM Symposium"

Research papers must contain original research results not submitted and not
published elsewhere. They will be considered for inclusion in the EPTCS proceedings
of the symposium, which will be indexed in the Web of Science. Authors who want to
present work in progress or discuss new aspects or a survey of their older research
results at the workshop are welcome to submit an extended abstract (up to 8 pages).
Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance
to the topics of the symposium.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a journal, most
probably the Journal of Logical and Algebraic Methods in Programming
(https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/journal-of-logical-and-algebraic-methods-in-programming),
subject to formal approval by Elsevier.
