FSEN 2005 is an international workshop organized by the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM) in Iran (http://www.ipm.ac.ir). Accepted papers are available at workshop homepage. Keynote Speakers ---------------- Gul Agha - University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign, USA Joost Kok - Leiden University, Netherlands Carolyn Talcott - SRI International, USA Tutorials: ---------------- "Connector Circuits for Coordinated Component Composition" Farhad Arbab CWI, Amsterdam and Leiden University, Netherlands "Algebra and Coalgebra of Streams, Automata and Circuits" Jan Rutten CWI and VUA, Amsterdam, Netherlands "A Calculus for Component-Oriented Programming" Marcello Bonsangue CWI, Amsterdam and Leiden University, Netherlands Workshop goals ---------------- The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on different aspects of formal methods in software engineering. The specific goal is to facilitate transfer of experience, adaptation of methods, and where possible, collaboration between different groups. The topics may cover any aspect in formal methods, especially those related to advancing the application of formal methods in software industry and promoting their integration with practical engineering techniques. Topics of interest ------------------ The topics of this workshop include, but are not restricted to, the following: * Models of programs and systems * Software specification, validation and verification * Software architectures and their description languages * Object and multi-agent systems * Coordination and feature interaction * Integration of formal and informal methods * Integration of different formal methods * Component-based development * Service-oriented development * Model checking and theorem proving * Software and hardware verification * CASE tools and tool integration * Application to industrial cases Workshop Chair -------------- Ali Movaghar Sharif University of Technology, Iran IPM, Iran PC Chairs --------- Farhad Arbab CWI, Netherlands Leiden University, Netherlands University of Waterloo, Canada Marjan Sirjani Tehran University, Iran IPM, Iran Local Organization Chair ------------------------ Marjan Sirjani Tehran University, Iran IPM, Iran Program committee ----------------- * Farhad Arbab - CWI, Netherlands; Leiden University, Netherlands; University of Waterloo, Canada * Mohammad Ardeshir - Sharif University of Technology, Iran * Christel Baier - University of Bonn, Germany * Frank de Boer - CWI, Netherlands; Leiden University, Netherlands * Marcello Bonsangue - Leiden University, Netherlands * Franck van Breugel - York University, Canada * James C.
