_
*Submission Guidelines*_
Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=fmcad2025
Two categories of papers are invited: Regular papers, and Tool & Case
Study papers.
* *Regular papers* are expected to offer novel foundational ideas,
theoretical results,
or algorithmic improvements to existing methods, along with experimental
impact validation
where applicable.
* *Tool & Case Study papers* are expected to report on the design,
implementation
or use of verification (or related) technology in a practically relevant
context
(which need not be industrial), and its impact on design processes.
Both Regular and Tool & Case Study papers must use the IEEE Transactions
format on
letter-size paper with a 10-point font size; preferably, use the FMCAD
template for
papers. Papers in both categories can be either 8 pages (long) or 4
pages (short)
in length excluding references. Short papers that describe emerging
results, practical
experiences, or original ideas that can be described succinctly are
encouraged. Authors
will be required to select an appropriate paper category at abstract
submission time.
Submissions may contain an optional appendix, which will not appear in
the final
version of the paper. The reviewers should be able to assess the quality
and the
relevance of the results in the paper without reading the appendix.
Submissions in all categories must contain original research that has
not been previously
published, nor is concurrently submitted for publication. Any partial
overlap with
published or concurrently submitted papers must be clearly indicated.
FMCAD employs a rigorous peer-review process and each submission will be
reviewed
by at least four members of the program committee. The review process is
single-blind.
The review process will incorporate a feedback and rebuttal period
during which authors
will have the opportunity to formally respond to reviewer comments.
**New - Artifact Evaluation:** FMCAD 2025 introduces optional artifact
evaluation
to enhance transparency and the usability of research outcomes. Authors
reporting
experimental results are strongly encouraged to publish their final data
in a long-term
repository (e.g. zenodo (https://zenodo.org)). With artifacts serving as
supplementary
evidence, high-quality artifacts can improve the likelihood of paper
acceptance.
Artifact evaluation will be integrated into the main review process,
with one selected
program committee member assessing the quality of the artifact alongside
the paper.
Accepted artifacts require a DOI and will be clearly identified in the
published
paper. Details are available on the Artifacts Page
(https://fmcad.org/FMCAD25/cfa).
Accepted papers are published by TU Wien Academic Press under a Creative
Commons
license (the authors retain the copyright) and distributed through the
IEEE XPlore
digital library. IEEE CEDA is a technical co-sponsor of FMCAD. There are
no publication
fees. Authors of accepted contributions will be required to sign the
FMCAD copyright
transfer form found here: https://fmcad.or.at/pdf/copyright.pdf.
For each accepted paper, at least one unique author must register for
the conference.
Moreover, authors of accepted papers ensure that at least one of them
will attend
the conference and present the work.
*_Student Forum_*
Continuing the tradition of the previous years, FMCAD 2025 will host a
Student Forum
that provides a platform for graduate students at any career stage to
introduce their
research to the wider Formal Methods community, and solicit feedback.
Submissions for the student forum must be short reports describing
research ideas
or ongoing work that the student is currently pursuing, and must be
within the scope
of FMCAD. Work that has been partly published previously might be
considered; the
novel aspect to be addressed in future work must be clearly described in
such cases.
All submissions will be reviewed by a selected group of FMCAD student
forum committee
members. Details are available on the Student Forum Page
(https://fmcad.org/FMCAD25/student_forum).

Dear Colleagues,
As part of its celebrations of the World Logic Day 2025, the Association for Logic in India (ALI) invites you to an online lecture by Prof. Shashi Mohan Srivastava. The lecture details are as below.
Date and time:

Passcode: wldcali25
Lecture details:
=============
Speaker: Prof. Shashi Mohan Srivastava, IACS Kolkata and RKMVERI Belur, India
Title: Recalling Vaught's conjecture
Abstract:
Vaught's conjecture states the following. The countable models of a countable first order theory, up to isomorphism, are either countably many or continuum many. This problem is still open, and it seems not much activity has been going on on it.
Speaker Bio:
Prof. Shashi Mohan Srivastava is an Emeritus Professor at the Statistics and Mathematics Unit, Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Kolkata, India, which he joined in 1980. He is also a Visiting Professor at the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata, and the Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute (RKMVERI) Belur, Kolkata. He graduated from ISI Kolkata in 1980 under the supervision of Prof. A. Maitra. He was a member of the Institute for Advanced Studies, Princeton, during the academic year 1979–1980.
Prof. Srivastava's primary research interest lies in descriptive set theory. He is the recipient of the Indian National Science Academy medal for young scientists, and is the author of the books, A Course on Borel Sets and A Course on Mathematical Logic, both published by Springer. He is an enthusiastic teacher and has written several expository articles aimed at popularising mathematical logic and set theory in India.
We look forward to seeing you at the lecture.

A large number of members subscribed to the FMIndia mailing list were automatically unsubsribed today due to "excessive bounces". It is not clear why this happened. I have restored the status of all those who were unsubscribed.
If you receive this message, you are in good shape. If you don't, I expect I will get an email from you at some point --- some of you have already written in after this notification went out --- and I will try to address the problem individually.
Apologies for this glitch.
--Madhavan
P.S. I have also changed some settings on the group to try to prevent this from happening again.

Talk details:
Machine Learning and Logic: Fast and Slow Thinking
Moshe Y. Vardi
Rice University
Computer science seems to be undergoing a paradigm shift. Much
of earlier research was conducted in the framework of
well-understood formal models. In contrast, some of the hottest
trends today shun formal models and rely on massive data sets
and machine learning. A cannonical example of this change is the
shift in AI from logic programming to deep learning.
I will argue that the correct metaphore for this development is
not paradigm shift, but paradigm expansion. Just as General
Relativity augments Newtonian Mechanics, rather than replace it
-- we went to the moon, after all, using Newtonian Mechanics --
data-driven computing augments model-driven computing. In the
context of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and logic
correspond to the two modes of human thinking: fast thinking and
slow thinking. The challenge today is to integrate the
model-driven and data-driven paradigms. I will describe one
approach to such an integration -- making logic more
quantitative.
I will conclude by discussing implications for computer-science
education.
Speaker Bio:
Moshe Y. Vardi is a University Professor, and the George
Distinguished Service Professor in Computational Engineering at
Rice University. He is the author and co-author of close to 800
papers, as well as two books. He is the recipient of several
scientific awards, is a fellow of several societies, and a
member of several honorary academies. He holds ten honorary
titles. He is a Senior Editor of Communications of the ACM, the
premier publication in computing, focusing on societal impact of
information technology.

It is a forum for bringing together researchers from a variety of fields in which formal logic plays a significant and often foundational role: Mathematics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Linguistics and Cognitive Science. A special feature of ICLA is the inclusion of studies in systems of logic in the Indian tradition, as well as historical research on logic. More about the conference and its earlier editions can be found at the ALI website [2].
