Overview

ICFEM (International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods) is an international leading conference series in formal methods and software engineering. Since 1997, ICFEM has been serving as an international forum for researchers and practitioners who have been seriously applying formal methods to practical applications. Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and government, are encouraged to attend, present their research, and help advance the state of the art. ICFEM is interested in work that has been incorporated into real production systems, and in theoretical work that promises to bring practical and tangible benefit. ICFEM has been hosted in many countries around the world. This year, ICFEM 2023 will be held in Brisbane, Australia on November 21-24, 2023.

Topics of Interest

Authors are invited to submit high quality technical papers describing original and unpublished work in all theoretical aspects of software engineering. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Abstraction, refinement and evolution
Formal specification and modelling
Formal verification and analysis
Model checking and equivalence checking
Automated and interactive theorem proving
Formal approaches to software testing and inspection
Formal methods for self-adaptive systems

Submission Instructions

Submission should be done through the ICFEM 2023 submission page, handled by the EasyChair conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icfem2023

As in previous years, the proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.

Papers should be written in English and should not exceed 16 pages (including references) in the Springer's LNCS format. Additional material may be placed in an appendix, to be read at the discretion of the reviewers and to be omitted in the final version. Formatting style files and further guidelines for formatting can be found at the Springer website (more details here).
