FMAS 2023 Workshop

The Fifth International Workshop on Formal Methods for Autonomous Systems (FMAS 2023) is a two-day peer-reviewed international workshop co-located at the 18th International Conference on integrated Formal Methods (iFM), which will take place on the 15th and 16th of November 2023 in Leiden, The Netherland.

Scope

Bring together researchers working on a range of techniques for the formal verification of autonomous systems, to present recent work in the area, discuss key challenges, and stimulate collaboration between autonomous systems and formal methods researchers.
