The aim of the conference is to bring together practitioners and researchers from academia, industry and government to advance the state of the art in formal methods, to facilitate their uptake in the software industry and to encourage their integration with practical engineering methods.
Papers that combine formal methods and software engineering are especially welcome.
Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on any relevant topic. These can either be normal or short papers.
Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- formal methods technology transfer
- scalable formal methods
- requirement analysis and specification
- software specification, verification and validation
- component-based development
- programming languages and type theory
- formal models for service-oriented computing
- web and grid computing
- formal models for web services, choreography and orchestration
- formal aspects of security and mobility
- model checking for software and hardware systems
- theorem proving and decision procedures
- program analysis
- real-time, hybrid and embedded systems
- safety-critical and fault-tolerant systems
- interactive systems and human error analysis
- software architectures and their description languages
- object and multi-agent systems, aspect oriented development
- coordination and feature interaction
- formal aspects of software evolution and maintenance
- formal methods for testing, re-engineering and reuse
- light-weight formal methods
- CASE tools and tool integration
- applications of formal methods and industrial case studies
