The idea is to cover an ample spectrum of themes, ranging from theory to applications, and stimulate cross-fertilization. Papers focused on formal methods are especially welcome. Authors are invited to submit original research or tool papers on all relevant topics in these areas. Papers discussing new ideas that are at an early stage of development are also welcome. LIST OF TOPICS The topics covered by the conference include, but are not limited to, the following: Automata Theory Automated Deduction Computational aspects of Game Theory Concurrency and Distributed computation Decision Procedures Deductive, Compositional, and Abstraction Techniques for Verification Finite Model Theory First-order and Higher-order Logics Formal Languages Formal Methods for Complex Systems (e.g., Interactive Systems, Systems Biology) Games and Automata for Verification Game Semantics Hybrid, Embedded, and Mobile Systems Verification Logical aspects of Computational Complexity Logics of Programs Modal and Temporal Logics Model Checking Models of Reactive and Real-Time Systems Program Analysis and Software Verification Run-time Verification and Testing Specification and Verification of Finite and Infinite-state Systems Synthesis PAPER SUBMISSION Submitted papers should not exceed fourteen (14) pages using EPTCS format, be unpublished and contain original research. For papers reporting experimental results, authors are encouraged to make their data available with their submission. Submissions must be in PDF or PS format and will be handled via EasyChair. IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission May 9, 2012 Paper submission May 15, 2012 Acceptance notification June 27, 2012 Final version July 15, 2012 Conference September 6-8, 2012 PROCEEDINGS The proceedings will be published by Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science. A special issue of a major international journal to publish an extended and revised version of the best symposium papers is also under consideration. Revised versions of the selected papers from the previous editions lead to two special issues of the International Journal of Foundation of Computer Science and of Theoretical Computer Science, respectively.
