Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing growth of automation in many practical industrial and civil fields (e.g., smart manufacturing, smart hospitals, smart economy, aeronautics, and fintech) requires the design and deployment of systems that behave safely and are efficient, reliable, and resilient to unforeseen situations. Formal verification can support the design of such systems to study and guarantee resilience, reliability, and safety besides efficiency. This Special Issue will review the latest research progress in the application of Formal Verification in Industrial Critical Systems, to promote the sharing of experiences in the industrial usage of such methods, and to promote research and development for pushing formal verification methodologies and tools for industrial applications. We encourage submissions of conceptual, empirical, experience, and literature review papers focusing on this field.
Dr. Marco Roveri
