Objectives and Scope

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 and security

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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 and testing of various types of
       distributed systems including communications and network
       protocols, service-oriented systems, and adaptive distributed
       systems

     * Applications of Formal Methods: applying formal methods and
       techniques for studying quality, reliability and
       security of distributed systems, particularly web services,
       multimedia and telecommunications 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

Proceedings and Submission guidelines

The FMOODS & FORTE 2011 conference calls for high quality papers
presenting research results and/or application reports related to the
research areas in conference scope.
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag 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 URL

         https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi?conf=fmoodsforte11

Each paper will undergo a peer review of at least 3 anonymous reviewers.

The papers must be prepared using the SPRINGER LNCS style, available at
the URL

        http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0

Papers must not exceed 15 pages in length, including figures and
references.
For referees' convenience, any additional material that may help
assessing the merits of the submission but not to be included in the
final version, like some detailed proofs, may be placed in a clearly
marked appendix (not to be counted in the page limit). Referees are at
liberty to ignore the appendix, and papers must be understandable
without them.

Submissions not adhering to the above specified constraints may be
rejected immediately, without review.
