OBJECTIVES AND SCOPES
The 2013 IFIP Joint International Conference on Formal Techniques
for Distributed Systems (33rd FORTE / 15th FMOODS) is a forum for
fundamental research on theory, models, tools, and applications
for distributed systems. The joint conference is the result of
merging the conference FMOODS (Formal Methods for Open Object-Based
Distributed Systems) and FORTE (Formal Techniques for Networked
and Distributed Systems). FORTE/FMOODS 2013 is part of the
DiScoTec 2013 event (see http://www.discotec.org/).
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
- product-line-based systems
- software quality, reliability, availability, and safety
- security, privacy, and trust in distributed systems
- 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. FORTE / FMOODS 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. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Languages and Semantic Foundations: new modeling and language concepts
for distribution and concurrency, semantics for different types of
languages, including programming languages, modeling languages,
and domain specific languages; real-time and probability aspects;
type systems and behavioral typing;
- Formal Methods and Techniques: design, specification, analysis,
verification, validation, testing and runtime verification of various
types of distributed systems including communications and network
protocols, service-oriented systems, and adaptive distributed systems;
- Foundations of Security: new principles for qualitative and quantitative
security analysis of distributed systems, including formal models
based on probabilistic concepts;
- Applications of Formal Methods: applying formal methods and techniques
for studying quality, reliability, availability, and safety of
distributed systems;
- Practical Experience with Formal Methods: industrial applications,
case studies and software tools for applying formal methods and
description techniques to the development and analysis of real
distributed systems.
PUBLICATION AND SUBMISSIONS
The FORTE/FMOODS 2013 conference calls for high-quality papers presenting
research results and/or application reports related to the research areas
in conference scope.
Like in the past, the conference proceedings will be published by Springer
in the LNCS Series. Proceedings will be made available at the conference.
All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for
publication elsewhere. Contributions should be submitted electronically
in PDF via the EasyChair system at the following address:
http://forte13.sosy-lab.org/submit.php
Each paper will undergo a peer review of at least 3 anonymous reviewers.
The papers must be prepared using Springer's LNCS style
(see http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html).
Papers must not exceed 15 pages in length, including figures and references.
Submissions not adhering to the above specified constraints may be rejected
immediately, without review.
IMPORTANT DATES
Title and abstract must be submitted before the paper. Time of all deadlines
is 24:00 Samoa Standard Time (UTC-11).
