IFIP international conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Systems

FMOODS/FORTE 2009
11th Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems and 29th Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems

The IFIP international conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Systems is formed jointly from the two conference series FMOODS and FORTE. It is part of the federated conference event DisCoTec (Distributed Computing Techniques) which also includes the 11th international conference on Coordination Models and Languages (COORDINATION) and the 9th IFIP international conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS). The event will be hosted by the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon.

Scope

The joined 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, in particular in the areas of:

   * Component- and model-based design
   * Service-oriented, ubiquitous, pervasive, grid and mobile computing
   * Software quality, reliability and security

The conference encourages contributions that combine theory and practice, address problems from the development of distributed systems, and present novel solutions with formal methods and theoretical foundations.

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.
