FM 2026 Tutorials: 1st Call for Tutorials

by Neeraj Kumar Singh

***************************************************************************************** FM 2026 Tutorials: Call for Tutorials https://conf.researchr.org/track/fm-2026/fm-2026-tutorials ***************************************************************************************** ## Overview FM 2026 is the 27th international symposium on Formal Methods in a series organized by Formal Methods Europe (FME), an independent association whose aim is to stimulate the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. The FM symposia have been successful in bringing together researchers and industrial users around a program of original papers on research and industrial experience, workshops, tutorials, reports on tools, projects, and ongoing doctoral research. We are inviting proposals for tutorials to complement the main FM 2026 symposium. The primary goal of these tutorials is to convey ideas with a focus on pedagogy over technical innovation. They offer a valuable platform for participants to discuss technical challenges, exchange research concepts, explore educational strategies, and demonstrate or investigate practical applications. Tutorials should be designed to be broadly accessible and pedagogically oriented, clarifying key concepts, building intuition, and ensuring ease of understanding. They aim to attract new researchers, serve as bridges to practitioners, and disseminate useful ideas widely. These may be driven by fundamental academic interests, or by needs from specific application domains. We encourage a diversity of topics relating to different ways of developing and using formal methods as well as all theoretical aspects of software engineering, including complex applications. Although tutorials focused on tools are a traditional choice, tutorials covering techniques are also welcome. Authors interested in proposing different types of tutorials are encouraged to contact the chairs for guidance. Overall, we welcome a broad range of tutorial topics, as long as they are relevant to the interests of the formal methods community. Moreover, we also invite topics at the intersection of machine learning and formal methods due to the growing interest in AI and machine learning-based software development. Accepted tutorial papers will be published in the conference proceeding volume. Authors of these papers will be allocated a presentation slot during the tutorial sessions prior to the main conference. When submitting tutorial papers, authors should indicate their preferred presentation length, which can be either half a day or a full day. ##Important Dates - Submission Deadline: February 02, 2026 (AoE) - Acceptance Notification: February 28, 2026 - Camera-ready versions: March 13, 2026 More information can be found on the website of FM 2026: https://conf.researchr.org/track/fm-2026/fm-2026-tutorials ## Submission Instructions Submission should be done through the FM 2026 submission page, handled by the EasyChair conference system: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fm2026 As in previous years, the proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Tutorial papers can be at most 25 pages in LNCS format (including references and appendices). There is no minimum length; the tutorial should be as long as necessary to be effective, but should avoid filler. Tools should include links and descriptions of how to run them. The paper must provide clear references to the original technical content and they are welcome to include an appendix for better details. Formatting style files and further guidelines for formatting can be found at the Springer website (more details: https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-gu…). ## Tutorials Co-Chairs - Kazuhiro Ogata, Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Japan - Neeraj Kumar Singh, INPT-ENSEEIHT/IRIT, University of Toulouse, France

by Alfonso Esposito

We are pleased to announce the 19th International Workshop on Networked Robotics and Communication Systems (NetRobiCS 2026), held in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2026 in Tokyo, May 18-21, 2026. Call For Papers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 19th IEEE International Workshop on Networked Robotics and Communication Systems (IEEE NetRobiCS 2026, ex WiSARN) in conjunction with IEEE INFOCOM 2026, May 18 2026, Tokyo, Japan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Deadline: December 29, 2025 WEBSITE https://netrobics2026.nws.cs.unibo.it/ SUBMISSION LINK https://edas.info/N34642 -------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Robotic networks have emerged as a transformative force with the potential to reshape industries, enhance our daily lives, and venture into the most challenging environments on Earth and beyond. At the heart of this transformation lies the critical aspect of communication and networking, enabling robots to operate effectively, share data and collaborate seamlessly. In this era of interconnected devices, robots rely on advanced communication protocols and networks to function efficiently in diverse environments. Whether in manufacturing, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, or space exploration, the ability of robots to communicate with each other and with humans is transforming industries and pushing the boundaries of technological innovation. The frontier of research foresees the deployment of highly autonomic and integrated scenarios where heterogeneous ground, aerial and/or marine robots coordinate with each other and with the existing sensing and processing infrastructures to accomplish complex tasks. On the one side, this implies proposing and investigating novel M2M solutions and network protocols to enable the data communication on the aerial and ground segments while taking into account the novel possibilities offered by the emerging technologies (e.g. 5G/6G and LEO satellite communications). The communication technologies must be paired with proper control mobility functions to support swarm operations and to instill coordinated behaviors. On the other side, the data processing on the mobile edges may take advantage of emerging federated and embedded AI techniques to drastically reduce the latency of the decision process while limiting the amount of data transferred from the robotic networks. NetRobiCS aims at bringing together state-of-the-art contributions on the design, specification, and evaluation of architectures, algorithms, applications, and protocols for current and future applications of wireless ground, marine and aerial robotic networks. Original, unpublished contributions are solicited in design, development and evaluation of wireless ground, marine and aerial robotic networks. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Aerial, Terrestrial and Marine Drone Communications and Networks - Network protocols and communication technologies for robotic systems - 5G, 6G and satellite enabled robotic systems - Communications and networking for swarm robotics - Infrastructure-to-robot and robot-to-robot communication - Robotic motion control and swarm modeling and management - Data management and processing in robotic systems - Embedded AI and federated learning solutions in robotic systems - AI-driven communication and computing in robotic systems - Large Language Models (LLMs) in robotic communication - Path planning, localization and navigation in robotic networks - Cloud/fog/edge computing platforms for robotic systems - Energy efficiency and endurance management in robotic networks - Quality of service, security, and robustness issues in robotic networks - Blockchain-enabled robotic systems - Energy-efficient & real-time communication protocols in robotic networks - Distributed control and management for robotic networks - Autonomic & self-organizing coordination and communication in robotic networks - Map exploration and pattern formation of mobile robots - Novel applications of robotic networks -------------- FEATURES - Best Paper Award, with a prize sponsored by the TII - Best-selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a workshop-dedicated Special Issue (SI) -------------- SUBMISSION RULES Papers must be formatted in the standard IEEE two-column format that is used by the INFOCOM 2026 main conference and must not exceed 6 pages in length (including references). All submitted papers will go through a peer review process, and all accepted papers which are presented by one of the authors at the workshop will be published in the IEEE INFOCOM 2026 proceedings and IEEE Xplore. ------------- IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: December 29, 2025 Notification of Acceptance: February 2, 2026 Camera Ready: February 16, 2026 Workshop: May 18, 2026 ------------- ORGANIZING COMMITEEE General Chairs - Enrico Natalizio (Technology Innovation Institute (TII), UAE) - Yannis Paschalidis (Boston University, USA) Technical Program Chairs - Christelle Caillouet (Université Côte d'Azur, France) - Marco Di Felice (University of Bologna, Italy) - Jennifer Simonjan (Technology Innovation Institute (TII), UAE)

IARCS Verification Seminar Series -- Talk by KC Sivaramakrishnan on Nov. 18 at 1900 hrs IST

by VSS IARCS

Dear all, The next talk in the IARCS Verification Seminar Series will be given by KC Sivaramakrishnan, an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras and the Chief Technology Officer of Tarides. The talk is scheduled on Tuesday, November 18, at 1900 hrs IST (add to Google calendar <https://calendar.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&tmeid=NjNrcmQ1c2…> ). The details of the talk can be found on our webpage ( https://fmindia.cmi.ac.in/vss/), and also appended to the body of this email. The Verification Seminar Series, an initiative by the Indian Association for Research in Computing Science (IARCS), is a monthly, online talk-series, broadly in the area of Formal Methods and Programming Languages, with applications in Verification and Synthesis. The aim of this talk-series is to provide a platform for Formal Methods researchers to interact regularly. In addition, we hope that it will make it easier for researchers to explore newer problems/areas and collaborate on them, and for younger researchers to start working in these areas. All are welcome to join. Best regards, Organizers, IARCS Verification Seminar Series ============================================================= Title: A Mechanically Verified Garbage Collector for OCaml Meeting Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89164094870?pwd=eUFNRWp0bHYxRVpwVVNoVUdHU0djQT09 (Meeting ID: 891 6409 4870, Passcode: 082194) Abstract: OCaml is a garbage-collected (GC) language, where unused memory is automatically and reliably freed. OCaml's GC is known for its high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for both batch jobs and interactive systems. OCaml GC is non-trivial and written in C, and is a part of the trusted computing base of OCaml programs. Bugs in the GC have the potential to violate the type safety of OCaml programs. In this talk, I will describe our work in developing a correct, proof-oriented GC for OCaml from scratch, capable of being swapped into the existing OCaml runtime system. Our GC is simple — a stop-the-world mark-and-sweep collector — but is capable of running non-trivial OCaml programs. The GC is developed in F* and its low-level subset Low*, which is compiled to memory-safe C. I will also describe the extension of our collector to enable generational and incremental collection. This work was published in the Journal of Automated Reasoning (link <https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10817-025-09721-0>). Bio: KC Sivaramakrishnan is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras and the Chief Technology Officer of Tarides. He led the development of Multicore OCaml, a concurrent and parallel extension of the OCaml programming language. His research interest lies in building robust, secure and scalable systems using programming language technology.
