*** Apologies if you receive multiple copies. *** FINAL CALL FOR PARTICIPATION FM'08: 15TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON FORMAL METHODS http://www.fm2008.abo.fi/ (Registration possible until May 21st, 2008!) Organized by Abo Akademi University Turku, Finland May 26 - 30, 2008 Venue: Hotel Holiday Club Caribia http://www.holidayclub.fi/portal/english/spa_hotels/holiday_club_turku/ It is our pleasure to invite you to FM'08, the premier international forum for practitioners and researchers applying mathematical methods to the design of highly reliable computer systems. FM'08 is the fifteenth in a series of symposia organized by Formal Methods Europe, http://www.fmeurope.org <http://www.fmeurope.org/> , an independent association whose aim is to stimulate the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. The symposia have been notably successful in bringing together innovators and practitioners in precise mathematical methods for software development, industrial users as well as researchers. A program of five invited talks and 23 outstanding research papers provides the opportunity to learn about the newest developments in the theory and application of formal methods. The program covers a wide range of topics, including real-time and concurrency, design, verification, communication, runtime monitoring and analysis, constraint analysis, programming language analysis, formal methods practice, and grand challenge problems. The list of accepted papers can be found at the address http://www.fm2008.abo.fi/accepted_papers.php and the abstracts of the invited talks at the address http://www.fm2008.abo.fi/invited_speakers.php. The following distinguished speakers will lecture: - Professor Arvind, Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Project Officer Paolo Bresciani, European Commission, Brussels - Professor Dawson Engler, Stanford University - Professor Shmuel Katz, The Technion - Professor Jay Misra, The University of Texas at Austin As in the previous years, an Industry Day is dedicated for practitioners to share their experiences with industrial applications. This year's Industry Day investigates telecommunications and embedded systems, being supported by NOKIA. Speakers from five major industries will address this year's theme, together with the Johnson Professor Arvind from MIT. The program of the Industry Day can be found at the address http://www.fm2008.abo.fi/industry_schedule.php. Tutorials are a central part of this year's FM symposium, as an effective way of disseminating emerging application areas, tools, and techniques. This year we have seven tutorials, given by renowned experts in their fields. More information on tutorials can be found on the FM'08 website or at the address http://www.fm2008.abo.fi/tutorials.php. The five co-located workshops address issues of specific formal techniques as well as novel computational models and grand challenges. Important dates for the workshops should be checked via the own homepages of these events, reachable from the FM'08 website or at the address http://www.fm2008.abo.fi/workshops.php. The following list of tutorials and workshops are available: Tutorials - Computational Systems Biology - Teaching formal methods to students in high school and introductory university courses - Event-B and the Rodin Platform - Formal Methods and Signal Processing - Why formal verification remains on the fringes of commercial development - Runtime Model Checking of Multithreaded C Programs using Automated Instrumentation Dynamic Partial Order Reduction and Distributed Checking - Formal modeling and analysis of real-time systems using UPPAAL Workshops - Formal aspects of virtual organizations - Overture/VDM++ - Refinement workshop - Pilot Projects for the Grand Challenge in Verified Software - Computational Models for Cell Processes A Doctoral Symposium on all aspects of formal methods research is also part of FM'08, giving young researchers the opportunity to have their ideas critically, but constructively examined by the community. A Poster and Tool Exhibition of both research projects and commercial tools will allow researchers to engage in a dialogue with potential users in early phases of their work. The list of these projects and tools can be found at the address http://www.fm2008.abo.fi/posters_and_research_tools.php. A book exhibition featuring our symposium publisher Springer (http://www.springer.com/) will also take place during the FM'08 week. There are two social events related to the main symposium: a welcome reception and an excursion/banquet. The former event is held on Tuesday, 27.5.2008, during 18.30-20.00 in Turku City Hall (at the address Aurakatu 2). The host of the evening is Sirpa Simola, Director of Applied ICT and Development in Turku. The latter event is held on Thursday, 29.5.2008, approximately during 16.00-23.00. It is best detailed at the address http://www.fm2008.abo.fi/excursion.php. Registration to the various types of events is still open at the address https://www.cs.abo.fi/fm2008/registration.php. The deadline for registering to any event is 21.5.2008. We hope you will enjoy a rewarding symposium program! Kaisa Sere, General Chair Jorge Cuellar, Tom Maibaum, Program Chairs
