The 19th International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods (iFM)

Date: Nov 13, 2024 6:00 am – Nov 15, 2024 4:00 pm
Location: Manchester, UK

In the last decades, we have witnessed a proliferation of approaches that integrate several modelling, verification and simulation techniques, facilitating more versatile and efficient analysis of software-intensive systems. These approaches provide powerful support for the analysis of different functional and non-functional properties of the systems, complex interaction of components of different nature as well as validation of diverse aspects of system behaviour.

The iFM conference series is a forum for discussing recent research advances in the development of integrated approaches to formal modelling and analysis. The conference covers all aspects of the design of integrated techniques, including language design, verification and validation, automated tool support and the use of such techniques in software engineering practice.

To credit the effort of tool developers, we use EAPLS artifact badging. See the Call for Artifacts for more details.

Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

  • Formal and semi-formal modelling notations
  • Combining formal methods with different performance, simulation and system analysis techniques
  • Program verification, model checking, and static analysis
  • Theorem proving, decision procedures and SAT/SMT solving
  • Runtime analysis, monitoring and testing
  • Program synthesis
  • Modelling, analysis and synthesis of cyber-physical, hybrid, embedded, probabilistic, distributed or concurrent systems
  • Abstraction and refinement
  • Model learning and inference
  • Approaches to integrating formal methods into software engineering practice or industry
  • Approaches to integrating formal methods into standardisation or certification processes
  • Formal methods for artificial intelligence, including machine learning and data-based techniques
  • Tools and case studies supporting the integration of formal methods
