(http://ifm2017.di.unito.it/callForWorkshops.php)

About iFM

=========

iFM 2017 is concerned with how the application of formal methods may involve 
modelling

different aspects of a system which are best expressed using different 
formalisms.

Correspondingly, different analysis techniques may be used to examine 
different system

views, different kinds of properties, or simply in order to cope with the 
sheer

complexity of the system. The iFM conference series seeks to further research 
into hybrid

approaches to formal modelling and analysis; i.e., the combination of (formal 
and semi-

formal) methods for system development, regarding modelling and analysis, and 
covering

all aspects from language design through verification and analysis techniques 
to tools

and their integration into software engineering practice.



Workshops can have the duration of one or two days. Prospective workshop 
organizers are

requested to follow the guidelines below and are encouraged to contact the 
workshop

chairs if any questions arise.



The purpose of the workshops is to provide participants with a friendly, 
interactive

atmosphere for presenting novel ideas and discussing their application.



The workshops take place on September 18-19, 2017.

particular, they are responsible for the following items:



* A workshop description (200 words) for inclusion in the iFM site.

* Hosting and maintaining web pages to be linked from the iFM site. Workshop 
organizers can

  integrate their pages into the main iFM pages.

* Workshop proceedings, if any. If there is sufficient interest, the iFM 2017 
workshop

  organizers may contact the editor-in-chief of the Electronic Proceedings in 
Theoretical

  Computer Science (http://info.eptcs.org/) for having a common volume 
dedicated to the

  workshops of iFM 2017.

* Workshop publicity (possibly including call for papers, submission and 
review process).

* Scheduling workshop activities in collaboration with the iFM workshop 
chairs. 



Budget

======

The iFM organization will provide registration and organizational support for 
the workshops

(including linking from the conferences web sites, set-up of meeting space, 
on-line and on-

site registration). Registration fees must be paid by all participants, 
including organizers

and invited guests.



To cover lunches, coffee breaks and basic organizational expenses, all 
workshops will be

required to charge a minimum participation fee (the precise amount is still 
to be

determined). Each workshop may increase this fee to cover additional expenses 
such as

publication charges, student scholarships, costs for invited speakers, etc. 
All fees will be

collected by STILEMA S.r.l. as part of the iFM registration. STILEMA S.r.l. 
will require the

workshop fees as requested by each workshop organizer.



Evaluation Process

==================

The proposals will be evaluated by the iFM organizing committee on the basis 
of their

assessed benefit for prospective participants of iFM 2017. Prospective 
organizers may wish to 

consult the web pages of previous satellite events as examples:
