=> INTRODUCTION
SBMF 2021 is the twenty-fourth of a series of events devoted to the
development, dissemination, and use of formal methods for the construction of
high-quality computational systems. It is now a well-established event, with
an international reputation. It regularly receives submissions and participants
from all over the world.

=> SCOPE AND TOPICS
The aim of SBMF is to provide a venue for the presentation and discussion of
high-quality work in formal methods. The topics include, but are not limited
to, the following:
:: Applications of formal methods to
* Software or/and hardware design
* Software or/and hardware development
* Software or/and hardware code generation
* Software or/and hardware testing
* Software maintenance, evolution or/and reuse
* Intelligent systems
:: Specification and modelling languages
* Logic and semantics for specification or/and programming languages
* Formal methods for timed, real-time, hybrid, or/and safety-critical systems
* Formal methods for service-oriented, cloud-based, or/and cyber-physical
systems
:: Theoretical foundations
* Domain theory
* Term rewriting
* Computational models
* Type systems and category systems
* Computation complexity of methods and models
* Models of time, concurrency, security or/and mobility
:: Verification and validation
* Abstraction, modularization or/and refinement techniques
* Static analysis
* Model checking
* Theorem proving
* Software certification
* Correctness by construction
:: Experience reports
* Reports on teaching formal methods
* Reports on industrial application of formal methods
=> SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We invite submissions of papers with a strong emphasis on formal methods,
whether practical or theoretical, in the following categories:
(1) Regular papers (limit of 16 pages);
Page limits include references and any appendices.
Contributions should not be simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere.
They should be written in English and prepared using Springer’s Lecture Notes
in Computer Science (LNCS) format. More information available in the following
link:
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
Papers should present unpublished and original work that has a clear
contribution to the state-of-the-art on the theory and practice of formal
methods. Papers will be judged by at least three reviewers on the basis of
originality, relevance, technical soundness and presentation quality and should
contain sound theoretical or practical results. Industry papers should
emphasize practical application of formal methods or report on open challenges.
Submissions should be made via the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sbmf2021
=> PUBLICATION
Accepted papers will be published, after the conference, in a volume of LNCS
(to be confirmed). The authors will be requested to complete and sign a
consent-to-publish form. Every accepted paper MUST have at least one author
registered in the symposium by the time the camera-ready copy is submitted. The
registered author is also expected to attend the symposium and present the
paper.
A special issue of the Science of Computer Programming Journal (Elsevier) is
going to be organised with selected and extended papers from the 24rd Brazilian
Symposium on Formal Methods (SBMF 2021).
