**Topics**: The aim of FORMATS is to promote the study of fundamental and practical aspects of timed systems, and to bring together researchers from different disciplines that share interests in modelling and analysis of timed systems and, as a generalisation, of hybrid systems. Typical topics include (but are not limited to):

* Foundations and Semantics: Theoretical foundations of timed systems and languages; new models and logics for analysis and comparison of existing models (like automata, Petri nets, max-plus models, network calculus, or process algebras involving quantitative time; hybrid automata; probabilistic automata and logics).

* Methods and Tools: Techniques, algorithms, data structures, and software tools for verification, synthesis, learning, online monitoring and runtime verification of timed or hybrid systems and for resolving temporal constraints (scheduling, worst-case execution time analysis, optimisation, model checking, testing, constraint solving).

* Applications: Adaptation and specialisation of timing technology in application domains in which timing plays an important role (real-time software, embedded control, hardware circuits, biological systems, and problems of scheduling in manufacturing and telecommunications).

The proceedings will be published by Springer LNCS (http://www.springer.com/lncs). FORMATS 2018 is part of CONFESTA 2018 (http://confesta2018.csp.escience.cn), which also includes CONCUR, QEST and SETTA.
