MEMOCODE 2025

23rd ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Formal Methods and Models for System Design (FMCPS)

On its 23rd edition, MEMOCODE, originally a forum on methods and models for hardware-software codesign, has become a privileged forum to discuss formal methods and models for the design of cyber-physical systems and the verification of their safety and security requirements (FMCPS).

Dates: October 02-03, 2025
Location: Taipei, Taiwan
Part of: ESWEEK 2025

MEMOCODE 2025
ESWEEK MEMOCODE

MEMOCODE brings together researchers and practitioners interested in formal methods for system design and development, to exchange ideas, research results, and lessons learned. The symposium focuses on the foundations and applications of formal methods in the development of hardware, firmware, middleware, and application software for systems, ranging from single embedded devices to highly networked cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things.

Topics of Interest

MEMOCODE solicits research papers on formal methods in system design that address the foundations, engineering methods, tools, or experimental case studies. Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Modeling Languages, Methods, and Tools
  Programming languages and models; software and system modeling languages; architecture and high-level hardware description languages; timing models; model and program synthesis methods; model transformation methods.
• Formal Methods and Tools
  Correct-by-construction methods; contract-based design and verification; static, dynamic, and type theoretic analysis; verification; validation; probabilistic model checking; test generation; refinement-based and compositional approaches to design and verification.
• Models and Methods for Developing Critical Systems
  Fault-tolerant systems; security-critical and safety-critical systems; cyber-physical systems; hybrid systems; autonomous systems; self-adapting systems; systems that merge humans, artificial intelligence, and cyber-physical systems; societal-scale cyber-physical systems, such as connected vehicles and smart grids.
• Quantitative/Qualitative Reasoning
  Power/performance/cost/latency estimation methods; system models for quantitative design space exploration
• Formal Methods/Models in Practice
  Design case studies; empirical case studies
• AI/LLM Assisted Formal Verification/testing
  Case studies or methodologies on AI/LLM guided formal verification and testing

Important Dates

MEMOCODE'25 is a part of ESWEEK 2025, which will take place in Taipei, Taiwan. Registered attendees can attend sessions in any of the online events, including the conferences (CASES, CODES+ISSS, EMSOFT), symposia, tutorials, workshops, and education classes.

Submissions

MEMOCODE'25 calls for three kinds of submissions: Regular Papers, Late-Breaking Results, and Tool Presentations. All papers must be written in English and formatted according to the ACM Sigconf style conference template. A double-blind review process will be enforced, and authors must not reveal their identity directly or indirectly. Submission of papers is handled via HotCRP.

Regular Papers:

Are no longer than ten (10) pages, excluding bibliography and appendices. They should describe original work that does not overlap with another publication or a submission under review or accepted for publication by any other conference or journal. Reviewers will check regular papers for the soundness and novelty of the proposed solutions.

Tool Papers:

are no longer than eight (8) pages, excluding bibliography and appendices. They should describe an existing and publicly available tool that implements relevant methods. The methods might have been published before, but the tool should not have been described in a tool paper previously. In addition to reviewing the paper, reviewers will assess the tool itself using inputs and a user's manual provided by the authors on the tool's web page.

Late-Breaking Results (LB):

Papers are no longer than four (4) pages, excluding bibliography and appendices. They should describe a promising and novel idea with a potential to get breakthrough in the field. Reviewers will judge the novelty of the idea, but do not yet expect proofs for the envisioned results.

For questions regarding technical submissions, feel free to contact one of the program committee co-chairs. All accepted papers (regular papers, late-breaking results, and tool papers) will be submitted for inclusion in ACM Digital Library. Publication in the proceedings is contingent on one author registering for and presenting the paper at the conference.
