Third Call for Papers

--------------------------

                     FROM 2019

               Working Formal Methods Symposium

         September 3-5, 2019, Timisoara, Romania

               http://from2019.projects.uvt.ro

              

               in conjunction with SYNASC 2019

                   https://synasc.ro/2019/

Aims

----

FROM aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who work 

on formal methods by contributing new theoretical results, methods, 

techniques, and frameworks, and/or make the formal methods to work 

by creating or using software tools that apply theoretical contributions.

FROM 2019 is the third event in a yearly workshop series. The first edition 

was held in 2017 in Bucharest (see http://unibuc.ro/~conference/from2017), and

it included sixteen invited talks delivered by top researchers in field, 

and seven contributed talks. The second edition was held in 2018 in Iasi 

(see http://fmse.info.uaic.ro/event/from-2018) and it included 9 invited

talks and 14 contributed talks.

The program of the symposium will include invited lectures and  regular 

contributions. Submissions on the general topic of theoretical 

computer science, formal methods and applications are solicited.
