This one day workshop will bring together researchers working on a range of techniques for formal verification of autonomous systems, to present recent work in the area, discuss key difficulties, and stimulate collaboration between the robotics and formal methods communities. This workshop will include invited speakers, contributed papers, experience reports, and a discussion panel.
## Important Dates
Submission: 7th of July 2019 (AOE (https://link.getmailspring.com/link/967263FD-BC40-4F2A-A386-9D3F6FA0928C@getmailspring.com/1?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.timeanddate.com%2Ftime%2Fzones%2Faoe&recipient=ZXVyb2dyYWRAbGlzdHMuZWFzc3QubmV0)) -- Extended
Notification: 7th of August 2019 -- Extended
Final Version due: 1st September 2019
Workshop: 11th of October 2019
## Scope
Autonomous -- and Robotic -- Systems present unique challenges for formal methods. They are embodied entities that can interact with the real world and make autonomous decisions. Amongst others, they can be viewed as safety-critical, cyber-physical, hybrid, and real-time systems. Key issues for formal methods applied to autonomous systems include capturing how the system will deal with a dynamic external environment and verification of the system's decision making capabilities -- including planning, safety, ethical, and reconfiguration choices. Some autonomous systems require certification before deployment, others require public trust for wide adoption; both of these scenarios are being tackled by formal methods.
The goals of this workshop are to bring together leading researchers in this area to present recent and ongoing work, including experience reports and case studies as well as identify future directions for this emerging application of formal methods. This workshop is concerned with the use of formal methods to specify, model, or verify autonomous or robotic systems, in whole or in part. Submissions may focus on case studies that identify the challenges for formal methods in this area, or experience reports that provide guidelines for tackling these challenges. Work using integrated formal methods, or describing the future directions of this field, are particularly welcome.
## Programme Information
The workshop will feature invited speakers and presentations of accepted papers. The workshop will also feature a discussion panel for a structured, whole-group conversation for scoping the future directions of formal methods for autonomous systems.
Invited Speakers:
Claudio Menghi, University of Luxembourg
Kristin Y. Rozier, Iowa State University
## Submission Information
There are two categories of submission:
Short papers -- 6 pages
Long papers -- 15 pages
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Experience reports/case studies on applying formal methods to autonomous and/or robotic systems
Novel formal methods that can be applied to autonomous and/or robotic systems
The modification of existing formal methods to suit autonomous and/or robotic systems
Future directions for formal methods for autonomous and/or robotic systems
Submission will be via easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fmas2019 (https://link.getmailspring.com/link/967263FD-BC40-4F2A-A386-9D3F6FA0928C@getmailspring.com/2?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Feasychair.org%2Fconferences%2F%3Fconf%3Dfmas2019&recipient=ZXVyb2dyYWRAbGlzdHMuZWFzc3QubmV0), in LNCS format.
Each submission will receive at least three, single-blind reviews. If a paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must attend the workshop to present their work. Revised selected papers will be published in the upcoming FM 2019 Workshops LNCS volume.
