Call for Papers for FSEN 2011

I have been asked to distribute this call for papers. Consider submitting to FSEN 2011, thereby supporting a young, good-quality conference in formal approaches to software engineering, broadly construed!

About FSEN

FSEN is an international conference that aims to bring together
researchers, engineers, developers, and practitioners from the academia
and the industry, who work in every area of formal methods. This
conference seeks to facilitate the transfer of experience, adaptation of
methods, and where possible, foster collaboration among different groups.
The topics of interest cover all aspects of formal methods, especially
those related to advancing the application of formal methods in the
software industry and promoting their integration with practical
engineering techniques. Following the success of the previous FSEN events
in 2005, 2007 and 2009, the next event in the FSEN series will take place
in Tehran, Iran, April 20-22, 2011.

* Component-based development
* Service-oriented development
* Model checking and theorem proving
* Software and hardware verification
* CASE tools and tool integration
* Application to industrial cases

The length of each paper including figures and references must not exceed
15 pages and should conform to the Springer LNCS style. All papers must be
submitted in PDF or postscript format. Submissions should explicitly state
their contribution and their relevance to the theme of the conference.
Other criteria for selection will be originality, significance,

Proceeding and Special Issues

The post-proceedings of FSEN11 will be published by Springer Verlag in the
LNCS series.  There will also be a pre-proceeding for the accepted papers,
which is printed locally by IPM. This pre-proceeding will be made
available at the conference.

The proceedings of FSEN07 and FSEN09 were published in the LNCS series. A
special issue of Science of Computer Programming is being published,
containing the extended versions of a selection of papers of FSEN09. A
special issue of Fundamenta Informaticae was published, containing the
extended versions of a selection of papers of FSEN07. The proceedings of
FSEN05 was published in the ENTCS series: ENTCS 159 (2006). Two special
issues were published containing the extended versions of a selection of
papers of FSEN05 in Fundamenta Informaticae (FI, vol. 82, 2008) and  in
Journal of Universal Computing (J.UCS, 13(13), 2007).
