Call for Artifacts

Reproducibility of experiments is crucial to foster an atmosphere of open, reusable and trustworthy research. To improve and reward reproducibility, iFM 2022 introduces an optional artifact evaluation process for accepted papers. The goal of the artifact evaluation is manifold. We want to encourage authors to provide more substantial evidence to their papers and to reward authors who aim for reproducibility of their results, i.e., create artifacts. Also, we want to give more visibility and credit to the effort of tool developers in our community.

Call for Papers

Objectives and scope In recent years, 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.

Keynote Speakers

Speaker: Yamine Aït-Ameur INPT-ENSEEIHT, France Title: Empowering the Event-B method using external theories Abstract: Recent Event-B method extensions enable the definition of external theories. These theories are particularly useful for defining generic data types and associated operators, as well as for proving theorems that formalize their properties. They can be used in Event-B developments to model complex systems behaviours as contexts and machines. Axioms and theorems borrowed from these theories are useful to discharge designed models proof obligations and contribute to reduce the proof effort as theorems of the theories are proved once and for all.

Social Events

iFM’s social dinner: Thursday, 9 June The social dinner will begin at 19:30 at the restaurant Piccolo Vigneto (https://g.page/Piccolovigneto?share) located halfway on Monte Bré – a small mountain just outside Lugano on its east side. From there, one can enjoy a view of the city and the lake from the sunniest location in Switzerland. How to reach the restaurant By bus: Your registration to iFM includes a return ticket to reach the restaurant using public transport.

Venue

iFM 2022 will take place in the East Campus of USI Università della Svizzera Italiana in beautiful Lugano, Switzerland. The brand-new East Campus is a 20-minute walk from the center of Lugano, and about 1.7 km from Lugano’s train station. The conference will use classrooms C1.04 and C1.03 on the first floor of the campus in sector C (on the north side).
