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.
Important Dates --------------- June 21 2019: deadline for abstract submissions June 28 2019: deadline for full paper submission July 26 2019: notification of acceptance August 9 2019: revised papers according to the reviews August 9 2019: registration September 3-5 2019: symposium days

Publication ----------- The proceedings will be published by Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science. Authors of the best contributions will be invited to submit a revised version of their work to a special issue of the journal Fundamenta Informaticae.
Submissions ----------- We expect submissions of regular papers of maximum fifteen (15) pages, formatted according to the EPTCS macro package (http://style.eptcs.org/). The paper must represent original work and should not be submitted to another conference at the same time.
Regular contributions should be preceded by the submission of a a short abstract. Submissions must be in PDF or PS format and will be handled via the EasyChair Conference system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=from2019 The submitting author of an accepted paper will have to sign, on behalf of all authors of the paper, a copyright agreement (see http://copyright.eptcs.org)
