Automated and verifiable Software sYstem DEvelopment

ASYDE 2020


Artificial Intelligence



ASYDE 2020 is the 2nd International Workshop on Automated and verifiable Software sYstem DEvelopment, co-located with the 18th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods (SEFM 2020).
ASYDE 2020 provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to propose and discuss on automated software development methods and techniques, compositional verification theories, integration architectures, flexible and dynamic composition, and automated planning mechanisms.
The mission of the ASYDE workshop is to consolidate interest of the SEFM community and related forums on the interplay between software engineering and formal aspects of automated and verifiable software system development.
ASYDE 2020 welcomes research papers, (industrial) experience papers and case-studies, tool demonstrations and visionary papers; nevertheless, papers describing novel research contributions and innovative applications are of particular interest.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
======================
* Submission is electronic, through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=asyde2020
* Papers should must be formatted according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers (https://www.springer.com/it/computer-science/lncs)
* All accepted papers will be published as part of the Workshop LNCS Proceedings Volume (http://www.springer.com/lncs).
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
REGULAR PAPERS (from 10 to 15 pages): in this category fall contributions that propose novel research work, address challenging problems with innovative ideas, or offer practical contributions (e.g., industrial experiences and case-studies) in the application of FM and SE approaches for building software systems via automated development and verification. Regular papers should clearly describe the situation or problem tackled, the relevant state of the art, the position or solution suggested and the potential benefits of the contribution. Authors of papers reporting industrial experiences are strongly encouraged to make their experimental results available for use by reviewers. Similarly, case-study papers should describe significant case-studies and the complete development should be made available for use by reviewers.
SHORT PAPERS (from 6 to 8 pages): this category includes tool demonstrations, position papers, well-pondered and sufficiently documented visionary papers. Tool demonstration papers should explain enhancements made in comparison to previously published work. Authors of demonstration papers should make their tool available for use by reviewers.
