Formal Methods and Software Engineering

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Formal Methods and Software Engineering, ICFEM 2023, held in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, during November 2124, 2023.

The 13 full papers presented together with 8 doctoral symposium papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions, the volume also contains one invited paper. The conference focuses on applying formal methods to practical applications and presents papers for research in all areas related to formal engineering methods.
