NASA Formal Methods: 13th International Symposium, NFM 2021, Virtual Event, May 24–28, 2021, Proceedings

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on NASA Formal Methods, NFM 2021, held virtually in May 2021.The 21 full and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions. The papers aim to identify challenges and provide solutions to achieve assurance in mission-critical and safety-critical systems. Examples of such systems include advanced separation assurance algorithms for aircraft, next-generation air transportation, autonomous rendezvous and docking of spacecraft, on-board software for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), UAS traffic management, autonomous robots, and systems for fault detection, diagnosis, and prognostics.
