Brief Bio
Antonella Santone was born in Montreal (Canada) on June 13, 1969. She is an Associate Professor at the University of Molise since September 2017. She received the Laurea degree in Computer Science at the University of Pisa, Italy, in April 1993. In September 1997 she received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Systems Engineering at the Dipartimento di Ingegneria della Informazione, University of Pisa. She has been Assistant Professor at the University of Pisa from November 1998 to October 2001. She has been an Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering of the University of Sannio from November 2001 to August 2017. She has been President of the Didactical Committee of the master's degree in Computer Science Engineering, University of Sannio, from the academic year 2005/2006 to the academic year 2013/2014. She has been President of the Didactical Committee of the degree in Computer Science Engineering, University of Sannio, from the academic year 2011/2012 to the academic year 2013/2014. She has been President of the CampusOne Project. From 2006 to 2009 she has been a member of the Socrates/Erasmus Committee of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Sannio. From 2009 to 2012 she has been President of the Orientation Committee of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Sannio. She was involved in several research activities and projects. Antonella Santone's current research is focused on formal verification methods. Her research interests include formal description techniques, temporal logic, concurrent and distributed systems modelling, heuristic search, formal methods in systems biology and in security engineering. She has written more than one hundred papers for international journals and conferences.

SCOPE

The huge diffusion of computational capabilities in embedded systems, cars, smart houses, smartphones, critical infrastructures, e-health, and the penetration of computers and software in enterprises of every dimension have led to an enormous number of victims of cyber attacks. Formal methods are techniques used to mathematically model systems in order to verify properties in a thorough fashion. Thus, formal methods offer the potential to develop secure systems. However, the communities of formal methods and security were not closely collaborating together in the past on solving such important research problems. The aim of the ForSE workshop is to encourage the integration between these two communities towards development of secure and malware resistant systems, thus bridging the existing gap.

Topics of interest cover, but are not limited to, application of formal methods techniques relating to:
• New principles for qualitative and quantitative security analysis
• Software tools and methodologies to the development and the analysis of secure systems
• Securing private data on mobile devices
• Mobile security
• Security of critical infrastructures
• Security and privacy in Internet of Things (IoT)
• Design and verification of malware detection systems
• Fraud detection
• Security for Complex System
• Security in Smart Grid
• Security in Social Networks
• Intrusion detection
• Cloud security
• Forensics
• Big Data security
• Network security
• Identification and analysis of Malware
• Security Verification and Validation
• Machine Learning for Malware Analysis
