NASA Formal Methods

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on NASA Formal Methods, NFM 2019, held in Houston, TX, USA, in May 2019.

The 20 full and 8 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions. The papers focus on formal verification, including theorem proving, model checking, and static analysis; advances in automated theorem proving including SAT and SMT solving; use of formal methods in software and system testing; run-time verification; techniques and algorithms for scaling formal methods, such as abstraction and symbolic methods, compositional techniques, as well as parallel and/or distributed techniques; code generation from formally verified models; safety cases and system safety; formal approaches to fault tolerance; theoretical advances and empirical evaluations of formal methods techniques for safety-critical systems, including hybrid and embedded systems; formal methods in systems engineeringand model-based development; correct-by-design controller synthesis; formal assurance methods to handle adaptive systems.
