CALL FOR AFFILIATED WORKSHOPS


Prospective workshop organizers are invited to submit proposals for workshops to be affiliated with FACS 2016, on topics related to the conference main subjects.

About FACS
----------

FACS 2016 is concerned with how formal methods can be used to make component-based development fit for the new architectures and the systems that now pervade the world. Formal methods have provided foundations for component-based software through research on mathematical models for components, composition and adaptation, and rigorous approaches to verification, deployment, testing, and certification.

The purpose of the workshops is to provide opportunities for participants to present novel research ideas, and to discuss their application, in a friendly and interactive atmosphere.


The workshops will take place on Tuesday, October 18 th, 2016.
