Welcome to SEFM 2020
The 18th edition of the International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods will be held virtually, hosted in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on September 14--17, 2020.
SEFM aims to bring together leading researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government, to advance the state of the art in formal methods, to facilitate their uptake in the software industry, and to encourage their integration within practical software engineering methods and tools.
Free access to the LNCS 12524 volume
The LNCS volume is freely accessible here until the 4th of March.
SEFM 2020 will be an entirely virtual event
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided that SEFM 2020 will not take place physically but will be replaced by a virtual event. As usual, a LNCS proceedings will be prepared and all accepted papers have to be presented at the virtual conference.
The timezone for the event is Amsterdam local time, i.e. Central European Summer Time, UTC+02:00.
Registration is now open
The virtual conference and the virtual affiliated workhops will be organised by live presentations (see the programme of the main conference), using Zoom. Participation is free, but registering to the mailing list is required in order to receive the Zoom link for the conference and the workshops. Note that, once the registration to the mailing list is requested, it is necessary to confirm the registration by clicking on the link received on your e-mail. You will receive a final confirmation mail when registration is succesful.
Registration to the mailing list is done for both the main conference and the workshops: every registered user will receive multiple Zoom links by e-mail for joining the workshops and the main conference. The Zoom links are sent just-in-time, one day before the event. In case of technical difficulties, contact Benjamin Lion (b.lion@cwi.nl) or Hans-Dieter Hiep (hdh@cwi.nl).
Zoom social protocol
The social protocol for the main conference is as follows: participants can ask questions during the presentation using the chat functionality of Zoom. At the end of each presentation, there is a five minute slot in which the session chair will choose and read aloud the most interesting questions for the presenter to answer. Alternatively, a session chair may unmute participant(s) to stimulate discussion.
