24 - 27 May 2022, 14th NASA Formal Methods Symposium (NFM 2022), Pasadena CA (U.S.A.) or virtual
The widespread use and increasing complexity of mission-critical and safety-critical systems at NASA and in the aerospace industry requires advanced techniques that address these systems' specification, design, verification, validation, and certification requirements. The NASA Formal Methods Symposium (NFM) is a forum to foster collaboration between theoreticians and practitioners from NASA, academia, and industry. NFM's goals are to identify challenges and to provide solutions for achieving assurance for such critical systems. The focus of the symposium will be on formal/rigorous techniques for software assurance, including their theory, current capabilities and limitations, as well as their potential application to aerospace during all stages of the software life-cycle.
The NASA Formal Methods Symposium is an annual event organized by the NASA Formal Methods (NFM) Research Group, composed of researchers spanning six NASA centers. The organization of NFM 2022 is being led by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), located in Pasadena, California. The symposium is planned to be held in person at California Institute of Technology, but potentially transitioning to fully virtual if the COVID situation persists. Virtual presentations will be possible even if the conference is held in-person.
There are two categories of submissions: Regular papers describing fully developed work and complete results (maximum 15 pages, excluding references) and Short papers on tools, experience reports, or work in progress with preliminary results (maximum 6 pages, excluding references). Additional appendices can be submitted as supplementary material for reviewing purposes. They will not be included in the proceedings. All papers must be in English and describe original work that has not been published.
Authors are encouraged, but not strictly required, to submit artifacts that support the conclusions of their work (if allowed by their institutions). Artifacts may contain software, mechanized proofs, benchmarks, examples, case studies and data sets. Artifacts will be evaluated by the Program Committee together with the paper.
Courageous authors, who want to delve in open source software being applied in real NASA missions, and find possible connections to and applications of Formal Methods, are invited to visit the open source repositories for the 'F' and 'cFS' frameworks for programming flight software.
