Welcome to FM 2016

21st International Symposium on Formal Methods


Doctoral Symposium, Tutorials, Workshops: 7-8, November
Main Conference: 9 - 11, November


FM 2016 is the 21st in a series of symposia organized by Formal Methods Europe, an independent association whose aim is to stimulate the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. The symposia have been notably successful in bringing together innovators and practitioners in precise mathematical methods for software and systems development, industrial users, as well as researchers. The FM symposia welcome original papers on research and industrial experience, proposals for workshops and tutorials, entries for the exhibition of software tools and projects, and reports on ongoing doctoral work.

FM is the first and largest conference covering the rapidly growing area of formal methods. During the past three decades, many of the advances achieved in model-driven software engineering, validation and verification of software systems, design methods and tools have been first published in the proceedings of the FM conference series. FM is a technical conference gathering 200–300 world-leading researchers from academia and industry approximately every 18 months. The conference is held at different locations, mostly across Europe, and is organized by a local committee.

FM 2016 will take place in Limassol, Cyprus, November 07–11, 2016.  The 2016 edition will be the 21st of the FM symposia and will embrace a broad range of topics related to the theory and application of formal methods, and reflects cutting edge research on verification and quality guarantees in the development of robust, reliable, and secure software systems.  FM 2016 is organized in St. Raphael Resort, an exquisite 5-star hotel located on one of the most renowned and largest beaches of Limassol, only a short coastal drive from the lively centre of town.
