PRELIMINARY
CALL FOR PAPERS

**********************************************************************
9th International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods (iFM 2012)
in conjunction with ABZ 2012, in honor of Egon Boerger's 65th birthday
for his contribution to state-based formal methods

June 18 - 22, 2012 - CNR - Pisa - ITALY        http://ifm.isti.cnr.it

Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione ``A. Faedo''
Formal Methods && Tools Lab.
Via Moruzzi 1 - 56124 Pisa
**********************************************************************

OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE
Applying formal methods may involve the modeling of different aspects
of a system that are expressed through different paradigms.
Correspondingly, different analysis techniques will be used to examine
differently modeled 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 the
combination of (formal and semi-formal) methods for system development,
regarding modeling and analysis, and covering all aspects from language
design through verification and analysis techniques to tools and their
integration into software engineering practice   Areas of interest
include but are not limited to:

- Case Studies;
- Experience reports;
- Formal and semiformal modelling notations;
- Integration of formal methods into software engineering practice;
- Logics;
- Model checking;
- Model transformations;
- Semantics;
- Static Analysis;
- Refinement;
- Theorem proving;
- Tools;
- Type Systems;
- Verification


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
iFM 2012 solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or
experience reports related to the overall theme of method integration.
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Lecture Notes
in Computer Science series. All papers must be original, unpublished,
and not submitted for publication elsewhere. All submissions must be
in PDF format, using the Springer LNCS style files; we suggest to use
the LaTeX2e package (the llncs.cls class file, available in llncs2e.zip
and the typeinst.dem available in typeinst.zip as a template for your
contribution).  Submissions should be made using the iFM 2012 Easychair
web site. Papers should not exceed 15 pages in length. Each paper will
undergo a thorough review process.

All accepted papers must be presented at the conference. Their
authors must be prepared to sign a copyright transfer statement.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register to the
conference by the early date indicated by the organizers, and
present the paper.

Rodin User and Developer Workshop, 27-29 February 2012, Fontainebleau, France


Rodin User and Developer Workshop, 
27-29 February 2012, Fontainebleau,
France

http://wiki.event-b.org/index.php/Rodin_Workshop_2012

Event-B is a formal method for 
system-level modelling and analysis. The
Rodin Platform is an Eclipse-based 
toolset for Event-B that provides
effective support for modelling 
and automated proof. The platform is open
source and is further extendable with 
plug-ins. A range of plug-ins have
already been developed including ones
that support animation, model
checking and UML-B.

The first Rodin User and Developer
Workshop was held at the University of
Southampton while the second took place 
at the University of Düsseldorf in
2010. The 2012 workshop will be part 
of the DEPLOY Federated Even hosted
by the LACL laboratory at IUT Sénart-Fontainebleau.
Fontainebleau is
within easy reach of Paris:

http://www.bmethod.com/php/federated-event-2012-en.php


If you are interested in giving 
a presentation at the Rodin workshop, send
a short abstract (1 or 2 pages PDF) 
to rodin@ecs.soton.ac.uk by
        16 January 2012.


Attendance at the DEPLOY Federated 
Event (including the Rodin Workshop) is
open to all.

Une Deuxième Révolution Galiléenne

Ca se passe le vendredi prochain 7 octobre à 15h30
en salle i001, département de
mathématiques de l'Université d'Angers.
Cela peut intéresser les chercheurs, mais aussi les enseignants !
Colin

=====================================
Une Deuxième Révolution Galiléenne

Gilles Dowek (INRIA)

L'introduction d'un nouveau concept
scientifique permet souvent de
donner de nouvelles réponses à des
questions anciennes qui n'avaient
jusqu'alors reçu que des réponses 
imparfaites. Par exemple,
l'introduction des notions d'atome 
et molécule a permis de donner de
nouvelles réponses aux questions/ 
"qu'est-ce que l'oxygène ?","qu'est-ce
que l'eau ?", "qu'est-ce qu'une 
réaction chimique ?",/.... Cet exposé
présentera quelques questions qui
ont trouvé de nouvelles réponses
depuis que nous comprenons mieux 
la notion d'algorithme : "/qu'est-ce
qu'un aéroport ?", "qu'est-ce 
qu'un nombre entier ?", "qu'est-ce qu'une
démonstration mathématique ?",
"qu'est-ce qu'une théorie mathématique
?", "qu'est-ce qu'une loi physique ?",/
... La prise de conscience du
caractère algorithmique de ces 
objets scientifiques nous amène à
considérer de nouveaux langages 
pour les décrire. Cette révolution, dans
le langage dans lequel la science
s'écrit, peut-être comparée à la
révolution qui s'est produite, 
au début du XVIIe siècle, quand le
langage mathématique a commencé
à être utilisé pour décrire des
phénomènes physiques.

the release of ProB for Rodin 2.1

We are happy to announce the release of 
    ProB for Rodin 2.1

Numerous improvements went into the latest release:
- constraint-based deadlock checker: finds counter-examples
to the deadlock freedom
PO using constraint-solving
- improved kernel with improved constraint solving
(in particular improved boolean
constraint solver)
- ProB can now efficiently solve integer constraints
using the finite domain solver
CLP(FD) (you can turn this feature on in 
the Preferences Dialog)
- improved LTL model checker with new counter-example display
- new, improved version of BMotionStudio to generate
graphical visualisations of
your models
- automatic record detection (when defining closed
records using Records plug-in or
manually using bijections on Cartesian products)
- 64-bit version of ProB for Mac OS X (performance
improvement; less hash collisions
in model checking; larger range for the integer 
constraint solver; ...)
- and many more.

To install ProB, first download Rodin 2.1, 
choose Help -> Install New Software and
simply choose the pre-configured ProB update site.
More detailed installation instructions and a brief 
tutorial can be found here:
 http://www.stups.uni-duesseldorf.de/ProB/index.php5/Tutorial_Rodin_First_Step

We have also released the new version 1.3.3 of ProB 
Classic, a version of ProB with
a Tcl/Tk interface.
It can be obtained at:
http://www.stups.uni-duesseldorf.de/ProB/index.php5/Download
ProB Classic, is a stand-alone application but can
be started automatically from
within Rodin by setting the ProB Classic preference.
ProB Classic provides some features which are not
yet available in the ProB for
Rodin version
(graphical visualisation of the state space, 
debugging of axioms with unsat core
computation, CSP support...).

Kind regards,
The ProB Team from Düsseldorf

The AE/IS `Charles Simonyi' Symposium: Grand Challenges of Informatics is a major event. Some 14 of the nest computer scientists will, over two days, present challenges within areas of 100% trustworthy software, quantum computing, biocomputing, economics and game theory, and the relations between informatics and mathematics. Thanks to Dr. Simonyi's donation the event will host some 40 young scientists from Central and Eastern European countries.
