AIMS AND SCOPE
Complexity in automation- and safety systems in railway as well as automotive applications are dominated more and more by formal description means, methods and tools. Formal techniques provide next to correctness and integrity checkups – especially for safety relevant systems – the possibility to model, prove, simulate and check the specification of the system as well as to generate the system implementations.
Requirements of the CENELEC- and IEC-Standards on formal techniques, particularly with regard to the handling of safety analysis, are to be treated in FORMS/FORMAT 2010. The main focus lies on topics facing formal techniques for railway applications and intelligent transportation systems as well as for automotive applications. Gained findings, experiences and also difficulties associated with the handling of the subject matter as well as description means and tools are to be shown.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Prospective authors are invited to submit original and unpublished contributions for regular and poster sessions electronically (.pdf or .ps file). All submitted contributions must be full draft papers, written in English and limited to 8 pages. Style sheets can be obtained from the symposium website. When submitting your draft paper, include a cover page with a short abstract, indicate the desired type of session (regular or poster) and intended scope as well as the authors’ name, title, affiliation and the address, phone and fax numbers and e-mail address of the contact author. The submission deadline for all contributions is 15th June, 2010.
This conference is managed with EasyChair. To submit your paper, login to the FORMS/FORMAT 2010 conference. If you have no login for the EasyChair System you can obtain it from their page here.
The contributions will be reviewed and the final version of all accepted papers (invited, regular and poster) will be published by Springer Science + business media in the established symposium proceedings series.

E |
Legal framework (directives, laws, regulations, standards and norms, certification etc.) |
|
F |
Safety and Security (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability, methods for risk analysis; risk acceptance, risk measures, evaluation of RAMS-Parameter) |
| G |
Human factors and human behaviour (learning, manipulation, FCR-modelling etc.) |
REGISTRATION FEE
The symposium registration fee amounts to 470 EUR, for university members 370 EUR, which includes the symposium proceedings, lunches, coffee & refreshments and the evening reception. Student registration (only graduate, no PhD) is also available for 50 EUR, which excludes the proceedings and the evening reception.
