FORTE 2012 - 14th Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems

The joint conference FMOODS & FORTE is a forum for fundamental research on theory and applications of distributed systems. The conference solicits original contributions that advance the science and technologies for distributed systems, with special interest in the areas of:
component- and model-based design
object technology, modularity, software adaptation
service-oriented, ubiquitous, pervasive, grid, cloud and mobile computing systems
software quality, reliability, availability, safety and security
adaptive distributed systems, self-stabilization, self-healing/organizing
verification, validation, formal analysis and testing of the above
The conference encourages contributions that combine theory and practice and that exploit formal methods and theoretical foundations to present novel solutions to problems arising from the development of distributed systems. FMOODS & FORTE covers distributed computing models and formal specification, testing and verification methods. The application domains include all kinds of application-level distributed systems, telecommunication services, Internet, embedded and real time systems, as well as networking and communication security and reliability.
