The sixth Automated Formal Methods (AFM) workshop will be held during
May 19-20, 2017, at SRI International in Menlo Park.  The earlier
workshops were AFM06, AFM07, AFM08, AFM09, and AFM10.
The 2017 workshop immediately follows the NASA Formal Methods (NFM) 2017
symposium.
It consists of both invited talks and contributed papers on May 19,
and tutorials covering recent progress in tools such as PVS,
SAL/SALLY/HybridSAL, Yices, SeaHorn, Radler, and Bixie.
AFM functions both as a user's meeting for SRI's tools such as PVS,
SAL, and Yices, and as a workshop for those interested in state
of the art automation for formal methods generally.

Workshop Description

AFM is a workshop centered around the use and integration of
highly automated formal verification tools for specification,
interactive theorem proving, satisfiability (SAT) and satisfiability
modulo theories (SMT), model checking, program verification, static
analysis, runtime verification, code generation, and testing, as well
as interfaces, documentation, and education.

This workshop was originally initiated as a users' group meeting for
the SRI formal verification tools, which now include PVS, SAL,
HybridSAL, SALLY, Yices, NL-Yices, Joogie, Bixie, and SeaHorn,
together with technologies under development, such as ARSENAL, Radler,
Occam, PCE, and ETB.  However, topics are not restricted to these tools:
we welcome contributions on all aspects of state of the art automation.
The proceedings of the workshop will be published through the ACM
Digital Library.

We welcome position papers, research papers, and reports on work in
progress on the topics listed above, particularly those that report on
experiments, tool integration and evaluation, and case studies. Papers
must be fewer than 8 pages long in the ACM SIG Proceedings style
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and
should be submitted to
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=afm17).
