- Objective
Timing aspects of systems from a variety of computer science domains have been 
treated independently by different communities. Researchers interested in 
semantics, verification, and performance analysis study models such as timed 
automata and timed Petri nets, the digital design community focuses on 
propagation and switching delays, while designers of embedded controllers have 
to take account of the time taken by controllers to compute their responses 
after sampling the environment. Timing-related questions in these separate 
disciplines do have their particularities. However, there is a growing 
awareness that there are basic problems that are common to all of them. In 
particular, all these sub-disciplines treat systems whose behaviour depends 
upon combinations of logical and temporal constraints; namely, constraints on 
the temporal distances between occurrences of events.

- Special Sessions
This year, FORMATS features two special sessions:

Data-driven methods for timed systems (chaired by Guillermo Alberto Perez). 
We are interested in all kind of data-driven methods such as machine learning 
or automata learning that consider timing aspects. Examples are automata 
learning for timed automata or reinforcement learning with timing constraints.

Probabilistic and timed systems (chaired by Arnd Hartmanns). 
Real-time systems often encompass probabilistic or random behavior. We are 
interested in all approaches to model or analyze such systems, for instance 
through probabilistic timed automata, or stochastic timed Petri nets.
