AFMAS 2024 : Science of Computer Programming special issue on Advances in Formal Methods for Autonomous Systems

Call for Papers

Science of Computer Programming special issue on
Advances in Formal Methods for Autonomous Systems

This special issue provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present theory, techniques, and applications related to the use of formal methods in the engineering, design, and analysis of autonomous systems. Papers within this special issue should present advances in the field of Formal Methods for Autonomous Systems (FMAS), whether in specification, verification, or synthesis. The topics of interest for this special issue match those of the International Workshop on Formal Methods for Autonomous Systems, and a variety of other conference venues (e.g. FM, iFM, SEFM). Specifically, we are interested in formal methods being applied to almost any kind of autonomous system.

Final manuscript submission deadline: June 7, 2024
