FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS Eleventh International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering 2025 - Theory and Practice (FSEN '25) https://conf.researchr.org/home/fsen-2025 Västerås, Sweden 7,8 April 2025 ###################################################################### -- About FSEN -- Fundamentals of Software Engineering (FSEN) is an international conference that aims to bring together researchers, engineers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry to present and discuss their research work in the area of formal methods for software engineering. Additionally, this conference seeks to facilitate the transfer of experience, adaptation of methods, and where possible, foster collaboration among different groups. The topics of interest cover all aspects of formal methods, especially those related to advancing the application of formal methods in the software industry and promoting their integration with practical engineering techniques. Following the success of the previous FSEN editions, the next edition of the FSEN conference will take place in Västerås, Sweden, April 7-8, 2025. -- Important Dates -- Abstract Submission: October 7, 2024 (AoE) Paper Submission: October 14, 2024 (AoE) Notification: December 2, 2024 Final Camera-ready Submission: January 13, 2025 (AoE) Conference: April 7-8, 2025 -- Keynote Speakers (confirmed) -- Işıl Dillig, University of Texas at Austin Alexander Serebrenik, Eindhoven University of Technology Marielle Stoelinga, University of Twente and Radboud University, Nijmegen -- Topics of Interest -- The topics of this conference include, but are not restricted to, the following: * Models of programs and software systems * Software specification, validation, and verification * Software testing * Software architectures and their description languages * Object, actor and multi-agent systems * Coordination, feature interaction and software product lines * Integration of formal and informal methods * Integration of different formal methods * Component-based and service-oriented software systems * Collective, self-adaptive and cyber-physical software systems * Model checking and theorem proving * Quantitative formal methods * Software and hardware verification * CASE tools and tool integration * Industrial applications -- Paper Submission -- Authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 15 pages including references) describing original research, applications and tools; or short papers (up to 6 pages including references) describing ongoing research or new ideas that have not yet been fully validated. Both categories of papers must be submitted electronically in PDF using the online submission process via the Easychair conference system at the following link: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fsen2025. Contributions must be written in English, should be formatted according to the Springer LNCS style (LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates) that can be found at the following link (http://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guid...) and not exceed the page limit for the category (including figures and references). Each submission will be thoroughly reviewed by at least three reviewers considering scientific originality, significance, relevance to the FSEN conference, technical soundness, clarity, self-containedness and discussion of appropriate related work. The reviewers will be asked to rate the submissions and evaluate whether they can be accepted as: 1) Full paper for the LNCS proceedings 2) Short paper for the LNCS proceedings 3) Poster (not included in the proceedings) Papers accepted in the first 2 categories will be invited for presentation at the conference. Posters will be illustrated by the authors in separate poster sessions. Submissions are required to report on original, unpublished work and should not be submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere (cf. IFIP's Author Code of Conduct, see http://www.ifip.org/ under Publications/Links). -- Proceedings and Special Issue -- The post-proceedings of FSEN'25 will be published by Springer in the LNCS series. Following the tradition of FSEN, we plan to have a special issue of the Science of Computer Programming journal devoted to FSEN'25. After the conference a selection of papers will be invited for this special issue. The invited papers should be revised and extended and will undergo a new round of review by an international program committee. Please see the websites of previous editions of FSEN for more information on post-proceedings and special issues related to those editions. -- General Chair -- Marjan Sirjani, Malardalen University, Sweden -- Program Chairs -- Georgiana Caltais - University of Twente, Netherlands Hossein Hojjat - Tehran Institute for Advanced Studies, Iran -- Publicity Chair -- Petra van den Bos, University of Twente, The Netherlands -- Steering Committee -- Farhad Arbab - CWI, the Netherlands; Leiden University, the Netherlands Christel Baier - University of Dresden, Germany Mieke Massink, CNR-ISTI Pisa, Italy Ali Movaghar - IPM, Iran; Sharif University of Technology, Iran Hamid Sarbazi-azad - IPM, Iran; Sharif University of Technology, Iran Marjan Sirjani - Mälardalen University, Sweden; Reykjavik University, Iceland (Chair) Carolyn Talcott - SRI International, USA Martin Wirsing - LMU Munich, Germany -- Program Committee -- See website: https://conf.researchr.org/home/fsen-2025
