High levels of safety, security and also privacy standards require the use of formal methods to specify and develop compliant software (sub)systems. Any standard comes with an assessment process, which requires a complete documentation of the application to ease the justification of design choices and the review of code and proofs.
Ideally, an F-IDE dedicated to such developments should comply with several requirements. The first one is to associate a logical theory with a programming language, in a way that facilitates the tightly coupled handling of specification properties and program constructs. The second is to offer a language/environment simple enough to be usable by most developers, even if they are not fully acquainted with higher-order logics or set theory, in particular by making development of proofs as easy as possible. The third is to offer automated management of application documentation. It may also be expected that developments done with such an F-IDE are reusable and modular. Tools for testing and static analysis may be embedded within F-IDEs to support the assessment process.
The workshop is open to contributions on all aspects of a system development process, including specification, design, implementation, analysis and documentation. It welcomes the presentation of tools, methods, techniques and experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
F-IDE building: design and integration of languages, development of user-friendly front-ends
How to make high-level logical and programming concepts palatable to industrial developers
Integration of Object-Oriented and modularity features
Integration of static analyzers
Integration of automatic proof tools, theorem provers and testing tools
Documentation tools
Impact of tools on certification
Experience reports on developing F-IDEs
Experience reports on using F-IDEs
Experience reports on formal methods-based assessments in industrial applications
A formal IDE for railways applications
Abstract: Many railways interlocking systems are still based on electromechanical solutions. They are hard to understand and costly to modify, and can be considered legacy systems. In this talk I will present the research underlying the development of a IDE for the Italian Railways Network. The proposed methodology is able on one side to analyze and reverse-engineer legacy relay-based interlocking systems, and on the other to support the specification and verification of interlocking procedures by means of a model-based methodology.
Speaker's Biography: Alessandro Cimatti is the director of Fondazione Bruno Kessler's Digital Industry Center. A researcher since 1990 with ITC-Irst, from 2006 to 2020 he has been the head of the ICT Center's Embedded Systems (ES) research unit at FBK. Author of 220 papers in the fields of formal methods and artificial intelligence, for his fundamental works on Bounded Model Checking and on Satisfiability Modulo Theories, Cimatti has received the TACAS 2014 Most Influential Paper award, the ETAPS 2017 Test of Time award and the CAV Award in 2018 and 2021. He has been the leader of several technology transfer projects, including research projects funded by the European Union, the European Space Agency and the European Railway Agency, as well as of industrial collaborations with RFI, SAIPEM and Boeing.
We accept both long (15 pages) and short (6 pages) paper submissions, LNCS format. The page limit does not include the bibliography. Submitted papers must present original contributions whose main results and conclusions have not been published or submitted elsewhere. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the Program Committee. All speakers will be required to register and give a talk in person. Talks will be streamed online.
Authors are invited to submit the following types of contributions:
Research papers providing new concepts and results
Experience reports
Position papers and research perspectives
Tool presentations
Papers should be submitted via EasyChair at F-IDE 2022's workshop page:: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fide2022
Preliminary proceedings will be made available in electronic form at the workshop. Post-proceedings will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
