NFM 2017 - Call For Papers
The 9th NASA Formal Methods Symposium

May 16 - 18, 2017
NASA Ames Research Center
Moffett Field, CA, USA
Theme of the Symposium
----------------------
The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission-critical and
safety-critical systems at NASA and in the aerospace industry require
advanced techniques that address these systems? specification, design,
verification, validation, and certification requirements. The NASA Formal
Methods Symposium (NFM) is a forum to foster collaboration between
theoreticians and practitioners from NASA, academia, and industry. NFM?s
goals are to identify challenges and to provide solutions for achieving
assurance for such critical systems.
New developments and emerging applications like autonomous 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. Similar
challenges need to be addressed during development and deployment of
on-board software for spacecraft ranging from small and inexpensive
CubeSat systems to manned spacecraft like Orion, as well as for ground
systems.
The focus of the symposium will be 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 include but are not limited to:
-------------------------------------------------
* Model checking
* Theorem proving
* SAT and SMT solving
* Symbolic execution
* Static analysis
* Model-based development
* Runtime verification
* Software and system testing
* Safety assurance
* Fault tolerance
* Compositional verification
* Security and intrusion detection
* Design for verification and correct-by-design techniques
* Techniques for scaling formal methods
* Formal methods for multi-core, GPU-based implementations
* Applications of formal methods in the development of:
* autonomous systems
* safety-critical artificial intelligence systems
* cyber-physical, embedded, and hybrid systems
* fault-detection, diagnostics, and prognostics systems
* Use of formal methods in:
* assurance cases
* human-machine interaction analysis
* requirements generation, specification, and validation
* automated testing and verification
