[agents] Call for Participation: FMAS 2023

[FMAS Workshop]

Fifth International Workshop on Formal Methods for Autonomous Systems (FMAS 2023)
=================================================================================

FMAS 2023 is a two-day peer-reviewed international workshop that brings
together researchers working on a range of techniques for the formal
verification of autonomous systems, to present recent work in the area,
discuss key challenges, and stimulate collaboration between autonomous
systems and formal methods researchers. Previous editions are listed on
DBLP: https://dblp.dagstuhl.de/db/conf/fmas/index.html.

FMAS2023 will be held in **hybrid** format on the **15th and 16th of
November 2023**. FMAS 2023 will be co-located with the `International
Conference on Integrated Formal Methods (iFM)
2023 <https://liacs.leidenuniv.nl/~bonsanguemm/ifm23/index.html>`__,
hosted by Leiden University, The Netherlands. You can register to attend
FMAS2023 either in-person or (for free) online through the iFM
registration page:
https://liacs.leidenuniv.nl/~bonsanguemm/ifm23/registration.html.

More details, including the accepted papers, can be found on our
website: https://fmasworkshop.github.io/FMAS2023/

Scope
=====

Autonomous systems present unique challenges for formal methods. They
are often embodied in robotic systems that can interact with the real
world, and they make independent decisions. Amongst other categories,
they can be viewed as safety-critical, cyber-physical, hybrid, and
real-time systems.

Key challenges for applying formal methods to autonomous systems
include:

-  the system’s dynamic deployment environment;

-  verifying the system’s decision making capabilities – including
   planning, ethical, and reconfiguration choices; and

-  using formal methods results as evidence given to certification or
   regulatory organisations.

FMAS welcomes submissions that use formal methods to specify, model, or
verify autonomous systems; in whole or in part. We are especially
interested in work using integrated formal methods, where multiple
(formal or non-formal) methods are combined during the software
engineering process.

Autonomous systems are often embedded in robotic or cyber-physical
systems, and they share many features (and verification challenges) with
automated systems. FMAS welcomes submissions with applications to:

-  automated systems,

-  semi-autonomous systems, or

-  fully-autonomous systems.

Invited Talks
