Formal methods are emerging in computer science as a prominent approach to the rigorous design of computer, communication and software systems.
The main aim of the SFM series is to offer a good spectrum of current research in foundations as well as applications of formal methods, which can be of interest for graduate students and young researchers who intend to approach the field.
This year SFM is devoted to performance evaluation and covers formalisms for performance modeling, equivalence checking and model checking, efficient solution techniques, and software performance engineering.
