FMS Workshop

Overview

The 5th workshop on Formal Methods for Security will take place in Tunis, Tunisia on June, 23, 2014. It is co-located with the 35th International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets and Concurrency (Petri nets 2014).

This is an overview of FMS previous editions:

• The 4th edition of FMS was organized previously on August 4, 2010, in Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS). The workshop last one day with 8 presentations. Speakers were from France, Canada and Tunisia, and there was about 50 participants. Program
• The 3rd edition of FMS was organized as a satellite event of CAV 2009. FMS was then known as VETO. Website
• The 2nd edition, VETO 2008, was held in Marseille, France. Program
• The 1st edition, VETO 2007, took place at Tunisia Polytechnic School (TPS).

The 5th edition of FMS will take a full day and is scheduled to start with an invited talk followed by 3 sessions. The expected number of accepted papers is 8.

Scope

Systems and applications' security require formal proofs of correctness in order to achieve certification. Applications must be formally specified and proven to respect their specifications. The main scope of the workshop is to propose methods and techniques for constructing secure systems. We particularly welcome papers on techniques, tools and applications of formal methods (eg. timed automata, Petri nets, timed Petri nets, Process algebra, Logics...) for security.

The workshop will bring together academic and industry R&D researchers, in order to exchange ideas, discuss their research findings, and explore potential collaborations to provide solutions based on formal methods for developing secure systems and protocols.

Topics

We seek original research papers addressing issues in formal methods for security. We solicit contributions on the following (but not limited to) topics:

Paper Submissions

Authors are invited to submit original contributions that were not previously published work, or currently under review by any other workshop or conference. All submissions should be written in English, and correspond to the standard LNCS format. Submitted papers should be in PDF format and should not exceed 15 pages.

Accepted papers will be published in of informal/electronic workshop proceedings (CEUR). Some of the best papers of the workshop will be invited for publication in the new subseries of Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) entitled "Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models of Concurrency" (ToPNoC). The papers are expected to be minutely revised and they will go through a totally new round of reviewing.

Papers should be submitted using the following URL: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fms2014
