Important Dates (EXTENDED)
---------------
Submission of proposals: 31th of March 2019

About iFM
---------
iFM 2019 is concerned with how the application of formal methods may
involve modelling different aspects of a system which are best
expressed using different formalisms. Correspondingly, different
analysis techniques may be used to examine different system views,
different kinds of properties, or simply in order to cope with the
sheer complexity of the system. The iFM conference series seeks to
further research into hybrid approaches to formal modelling and
analysis; i.e., the combination of (formal and semi-formal) methods
for system development, regarding modelling and analysis, and covering
all aspects from language design through verification and analysis
techniques to tools and their integration into software engineering
practice.
Besides the standard conference track and the Doctoral Symposium, iFM
will host a number of workshops and tutorials related to the theme of
the conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide
participants with a friendly, interactive atmosphere for presenting
novel ideas and discussing their application. The goal of the
tutorials is to enable the participants to familiarise themselves with
theoretical aspects and application of formal methods.
Prospective workshop/tutorial organisers are requested to follow the
guidelines below and are encouraged to contact the workshop chairs if
any questions arise.
Proposal and Submission Guidelines
----------------------------------
Proposals must be written in English, not exceed 5 pages with a
reasonable font and margins, and be submitted in PDF format via email
to the iFM workshop chairs, Martin Leucker
([log in to unmask]) and Violet Ka I Pun ([log in to unmask]).
Workshop proposals should include:
- The name, the duration (1 or 2 days) and the preferred date of the
proposed workshop
- A short description of the workshop.
- If applicable, a description of past versions of the workshop,
including dates, organisers, submission and acceptance counts,
and attendance.
- The publicity strategy that will be used by the workshop
organisers to promote the workshop,
- The participant solicitation and selection process.
- The target audience and expected number of participants.
- Approximate budget proposal (see section Budget below for
details).
- The equipment and any other resource necessary for the
organisation of the workshop.
- The name and short CV of the organiser(s).
- The publication plan (only invited speakers, no published
proceedings, pre-/post-proceedings published with
EPTCS/ENTCS/...).
Tutorial proposals should include
- The name, the duration (1/2 or 1 day).
- A short description of the tutorial.
- Motivation for the tutorial (e.g., relation to conference)
- Overview of content, description of the aims, presentation
style, potential/preferred prerequisite knowledge.
- Intended audience and expected number of participants.
- List of readings, handbook, tools used in the tutorial.
Organisers Responsibilities
---------------------------
The scientific responsibility of organising a workshop/tutorial is on
the workshop/tutorial organisers. In particular, they are responsible
for the following items:
- A workshop/tutorial description (200 words) for inclusion in the
iFM site.
- Hosting and maintaining web pages to be linked from the iFM
site. Workshop/tutorial organisers can integrate their pages into
the main iFM pages.
- Scheduling workshop/tutorial activities in collaboration with the
iFM workshop chairs.
- Workshop publicity (possibly including call for papers, submission
and review process).
- Workshop proceedings, if any. If there is sufficient interest, the
iFM 2019 workshop organisers may contact the editor-in-chief of the
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(http://info.eptcs.org/) for having a common volume dedicated to
the workshops of iFM 2019.
Budget
-----
The iFM organisation will provide registration and organisational
support for the workshops and tutorials (including linking from the
conferences web sites, set-up of meeting space, on-line and on-site
registration). Registration fees must be paid by all participants,
including organisers and invited guests.
To cover lunches, coffee breaks and basic organisational expenses, all
workshops will be required to charge a minimum participation fee (the
precise amount is still to be determined). Each workshop may increase
this fee to cover additional expenses such as publication charges,
student scholarships, costs for invited speakers, etc. All fees will
be collected as part of the iFM registration.
Evaluation Process
------------------
The proposals will be evaluated by the iFM organising committee on the
basis of their assessed benefit for prospective participants of iFM
2019.
Venue
-----
iFM 2019 will take place at the Western Norway University of Applied
Sciences in Bergen, Norway. The campus is located around 10 mins by
tram from the city centre.
