***************************************************************

ICFEM brings together those interested in the application of formal

engineering methods to computer systems. Researchers and

practitioners, from industry, academia, and government, are

encouraged to attend, and to help advance the state of the art. We

are interested in work that has been incorporated into real

production systems, and in theoretical work that promises to bring

practical, tangible benefit.

ICFEM 2010 will be organized by Software Engineering Institute,

East China Normal University. Any inquiries can be sent to

icfem2010@sei.ecnu.edu.cn.

AREA AND TOPICS

Submissions related to the following principal themes are encouraged,

but any topics relevant to the field of formal methods and

their support environments will also be considered:

        Formal model-based development and code generation

        Abstraction and refinement

        Formal specification and modelling

        Software verification

        Formal approaches to software testing

        Software model checking

        Formal methods for object and component systems

        Analysis and models for concurrency

        Formal methods for cloud computing

        Tool development and integration

        Software safety, security and reliability

        Experiments involving verified systems

        Applications of formal methods

SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION

Submissions to the conference must not have been published or be

concurrently considered for publication elsewhere. All submissions

will be judged on the basis of originality, contribution to the

field, technical and presentation quality, and relevance to the

conference. The proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture

Notes in Computer Science series.

Papers should be written in English and not exceed 16 pages in LNCS

format (see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for
