Symposium on Dependable Software Engineering: Theories, Tools and Applications Nanjing University August 14, 2014 to August 17, 2014 IMPORTANT DATES February 22, 2014 Abstracts (extended) March 1, 2014 Submission of papers (extended) April 25, 2014 Notification to authors May 23, 2014 Camera-ready versions KEYNOTE SPEAKERS David Harel , Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel Huimin Lin, Institute of Software, CAS, China TUTORIAL SPEAKERS Bernd Finkbeiner, Saarland University, Germany Yifeng Chen, Peking University, China BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The aim of the symposium is to bring together international researchers and practitioners in the field of formal software engineering methods. Its focus is on clarifying the relation between formal methods and advanced software technologies, especially for engineering complex, large-scale artifacts like cyber-physical systems, networks of things, enterprise systems, or cloud-based services. Contributions relating to formal methods or integrating them with software engineering, as well as papers advancing scalability or widening the scope of formal methods to new design goals are especially welcome. Being hosted in China, the symposium will also provide a platform for building up research collaborations between the rapidly growing Chinese computer science community and its international counterpart. The symposium will support this process through dedicated events and therefore welcomes both young researchers considering international collaboration in formal methods and established researchers looking for international cooperation and willing to attract new colleagues to the domain. Authors are invited to submit papers on original research, industrial applications, or position papers proposing challenges in fundamental research and technology. The latter two types of submissions are expected to contribute to the development of formal methods either by substantiating the advantages of integrating formal methods into the development cycle or through delineating need for research by demonstrating weaknesses of existing formal methods, especially when addressing new application domains. Submissions can take the form of either normal or short papers. Short papers can discuss ongoing research at an early stage, including PhD projects. It is planned to publish the proceedings in the Springer LNCS series. Submissions can take the form of either normal or short papers. Short papers can discuss ongoing research at an early stage, including PhD projects. Regular Papers should not exceed 15 pages and Short Papers should not exceed 6 pages in LNCS format. The proceedings will be published as a volume in Springer's LNCS series. The authors of a selected subset of accepted papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their papers to appear in a special issue of the Formal Aspect Computing journal. TOPICS Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Formal aspects of engineering approaches to software and system quality * Integration of formal methods into software engineering practice * Requirements analysis, specification and design * Formal methods for embedded, real-time, hybrid, and cyber-physical systems * Formal methods for service-oriented and cloud computing * Formal aspects of security and mobility * Formal aspects of safety, reliability, robustness, and fault-tolerance * Model checking, theorem proving, and decision procedures * Integration of empirical analysis techniques with formal methods * Contract-based engineering of components, systems, and systems of systems * Formal and engineering aspects of software evolution and maintenance * Scalable approaches to formal system analysis and design * Tool integration * Applications of formal methods and industrial experience reports GENERAL CHAIR Cliff Jones, University of Newcastle, UK PROGRAMME CO-CHAIRS Martin Fränzle, University of Oldenburg, Germany Xuandong Li, Nanjing University, China PUBLICITY CHAIR Jonathan Bowen, Birmingham City University,UK Lijun Zhang, Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences,China LOCAL ORGANIZATION CHAIR Xin Chen, Nanjing University, China PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Farhad Arbab, CWI and Leiden University,The Netherlands * Luis Barbosa, Universidade do Minho,Portugal * Jonathan Bowen, Birmingham City University,UK * Nikolaj Bjorner, Microsoft Research,USA * Michael Butler, University of Southampton,UK * Van Hung Dang, Vietnam National University,Vientam * Martin Fränzle, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg,Germany * Goran Frehse, Universite Joseph Fourier Grenoble 1 – Verimag, France * Lindsay Groves, Victoria University of Wellington,New Zealand * Holger Hermanns, Saarland University,Germany * Ian J.
