The sixth Conference on Formal Methods in Software Engineering, FormaliSE 2018, was organized as a one-day event in Gothenburg, Sweden on 2nd June. The event was attended by roughly 50 researchers, including people from industry as well as academia in the area of Formal Verification from around the globe.
You are invited to attend the FME business meeting in Gothenburg on 2 June 2018. The meeting will be held at Congress center Gothia Towers and co-located with the FormaliSE 2018 conference (part of ICSE 2018).
FME has established a teaching committee to support a worldwide improvement in learning formal methods, mainly by teaching but also via self-learning.
Given every three years for technical achievements in advancing, applying, and promoting formal methods, the FME fellowship rewards scientific breakthroughs and pioneering work that have made a difference to the world through advances in formal methods. This includes contributions in the following areas:
The recipient of the fellowship will clearly have made a difference in one or more of these areas, and this will be supported by concrete evidence.
You are invited to attend the FME business meeting in Turin on 20 September 2017. The meeting will be hosted by the University of Torino and co-located with the Integrated Formal Methods (iFM2017) conference. Please refer to the agenda for more information. The minutes from the previous FME business meeting in London are available on the FME web site. Best regards, Lars-Henrik Eriksson FME Secretary
