     The Twelfth NASA Formal Methods Symposium

 https://ti.arc.nasa.gov/events/nfm-2020/

                   11 - 15 May 2020

        NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA, USA

Theme of the Symposium:

-----------------------

The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission-critical and safety-
critical systems at NASA and the aerospace industry requires advanced
techniques that address their specification, design, verification, validation,
and certification requirements. The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is a forum
to foster collaboration between theoreticians and practitioners from NASA,
academia, and industry, with the goal of identifying challenges and providing
solutions towards achieving assurance for such critical systems. New
developments and emerging applications like autonomous on-board Software for
Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), UAS Traffic Management (UTM), advanced
separation assurance algorithms for aircraft, and the need for system-wide
fault detection, diagnosis, and prognostics provide new challenges for system
specification, development, and verification approaches. The focus of these
symposiums are on formal techniques and other approaches for software
assurance, including their theory, current capabilities and limitations, as
well as their potential application to aerospace, robotics, and other NASA-
relevant safety-critical systems during all stages of the software life-cycle.



Topics of Interest:

-------------------

We encourage submissions on cross-cutting approaches that bring together
formal methods and techniques from other domains such as probabilistic
reasoning, machine learning, control theory, robotics, and quantum computing
among others.

  *   Formal verification, including theorem proving, model checking, and
static analysis
  *   Advances in automated theorem proving including SAT and SMT solving
  *   Run-time verification
  *   Techniques and algorithms for scaling formal methods, such as
abstraction and symbolic methods, compositional techniques, as well as
parallel and/or distributed techniques
  *   Code generation from formally verified models
  *   Safety cases and system safety
  *   Formal approaches to fault tolerance
  *   Design for verification and correct-by-design techniques
  *   Theoretical advances and empirical evaluations of formal methods
techniques for safety-critical systems, including hybrid and embedded systems
  *   Formal methods in systems engineering and model-based development
  *   Applications of formal methods in the development of:
     *   autonomous systems
     *   safety-critical artificial intelligence systems
     *   cyber-physical, cyber-security, embedded, and hybrid systems
     *   fault-detection, diagnostics, and prognostics systems
  *   Use of formal methods in:
     *   assurance cases
     *   human-machine interaction analysis
     *   requirements generation, specification, and validation
     *   automated testing and verification
