This book constitutes the proceedings of the 26th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2021, which was held during August 24-26, 2021. The conference was planned to take place in Pairs, France. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic it changed to a virtual event. The 10 full papers and 6 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections as follows: Verification, Program Safety and Education, (Event-)B Modeling and Validation, Formal Analysis, Tools, Test Generation and Probabilistic Verification.

Today, formal methods are widely recognized as an essential step in the design process of industrial safety-critical systems. In its more general definition, the term formal methods encompasses all notations having a precise mathematical semantics, together with their associated analysis methods, that allow description and reasoning about the behavior of a system in a formal manner. Growing out of more than a decade of award-winning collaborative work within the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics, Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems: A Survey of Applications presents a number of mainstream formal methods currently used for designing industrial critical systems, with a focus on model checking. The purpose of the book is threefold: to reduce the effort required to learn formal methods, which has been a major drawback for their industrial dissemination; to help designers to adopt the formal methods which are most appropriate for their systems; and to offer a panel of state-of-the-art techniques and tools for analyzing critical systems.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2007, held in Berlin, Germany, in July 2007 - colocated with CAV 2007, the 19th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification. The 15 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 2 invited lectures were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 31 initial submissions. The papers strive to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications and they are organized in topical sections on control systems, scheduling and time, verification, software, and testing.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2019, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in August 2019. The 9 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 15 submissions. The conference also featured invited talks by Jaco van de Pol (Aarhus University, and Twente University), jointly with CONCUR, and Holger Hermanns (Universität des Saarlandes) and a special session on (commercial) formal methods in industry. The aim of the FMICS conference series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. In particular, FMICS brings together scientists and engineers who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. The FMICS conference series also strives to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2010 held in Antwerp, Belgium, in September 2010 - co-located with ASE 2010, the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering, The 14 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The aim of the FMICS workshop series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. It also strives to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications.

In particular, these workshops are intended to bring together scientists and practitioners who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. These workshopsalso striveto promoteresearchand developmentfor the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications. The topics for which contributions to FMICS 2008 were solicited included, but were not restricted to, the following: – Design, speci?cation, code generation and testing based on formal methods – Veri?cation and validation of complex, distributed, real-time systems and embedded systems – Veri?cation and validation methods that address shortcomings of existing methods with respect to their industrial applicability (e. g. , scalability and usability issues) – Tools for the development of formal design descriptions – Case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of formal methods, focusing on lessons learned or identi?cation of new research - rections – Impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process and associated costs – Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forums The workshop included six sessions of regular contributions in the areas of model checking, testing, software veri?cation, real-time performance, and ind- trial case studies. There were also three invited presentations, given by Steven Miller,Rance Cleaveland,and Werner Damm, coveringthe applicationof formal methods in the avionics and automotive industries.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2015, Oslo, Norway, in June 2015. The 12 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. They are organized in topical sections: applications; protocols; specification and analysis; verification.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2022, which took place in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2022.
