The aim of the FMICS workshops is to provide a forum for researchers who
are interested in the development and application of formal methods in
industry. In particular, these workshops should bring together scientists

their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. They also aim
at the promotion of research and development for the improvement of formal
methods and tools for industrial applications.

Submissions must be made electronically through the FMICS Web site. There 
are two categories of submissions:

A. Regular papers: Papers should be up to 16 pages in LNCS format, with a 
clear abstract. Additional details may be included in a clearly marked 
appendix, which will be read at the discretion of the program committee. 
All submissions must report on original research. Submitted papers must 
not have previously appeared in a journal or conference with published 
proceedings and must not be concurrently submitted to any other 
conference. Any partial overlap with any such published or concurrently 
submitted paper must be clearly indicated.

B. Tool presentations: Submissions, not exceeding 4 pages using LNCS 
format, should describe the implemented tool and its novel features. A 
demonstration is expected to accompany a tool presentation.


PUBLICATION

Accepted regular and tool papers will be published after the meeting
jointly with accepted papers from PDMC'06 in an LNCS volume.

As last year, the European Association of Software Science and Technology
will be offering an award to the best FMICS paper.
