Aerospace applications and formal methods are topics of large interest  
for the control community. In particular, symbolic methods for complex  
control systems inspired by formal methods in computer science have  
been studied in the latest decade. The aim of the FMA at CDC is twofold:  
to encourage the development of interdisciplinary methods and,in  
particular, to leverage formal methods with control theoretic  
techniques in aerospace applications.

The first edition of the Formal Methods for Aerospace (FMA) workshop  
took place on November 3, 2009 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. It was a  
satellite event of Formal Methods Week (FM Week) 2009, the largest  
event in formal methods with more than 700 participants. The workshop  
proceedings have been published as the Volume 20 of the Electronic  
Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science.
Furthermore, a special issue of the AMAI journal will be published  
soon. The list of accepted papers can be found at
