FORTE 2017
37th IFIP International Conference on
Formal Techniques for Distributed Objects, Components and Systems
19-22 June 2017, Neuchtel, Switzerland
http://2017.discotec.org/calls/forte-2017
*********************************************************************************
* Scope *
FORTE 2017 is a forum for fundamental research on theory, models, tools,
and applications for 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, 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.
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 are
encouraged. 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;
- 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, adaptive distributed systems,
cyber-physical systems and sensor networks;
- 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.
* Important Dates *
- February 17, 2017: Submission of abstract
- February 24, 2017: Submission of papers
- April 10, 2017: Notification of acceptance
- April 24, 2017: Final version
- June 19-22, 2017: Conference and workshops
* Submission and publication *
Contributions must be written in English and report on original,
unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere (cf. IFIP???s
codes of conduct). The submissions must be prepared using Springer???s
LNCS style. Submissions not adhering to the specified constraints may be
rejected without review. Papers must be submitted electronically in pdf
via the FORTE???17 interface of the EasyChair system
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=forte2017).
We solicit four kinds of submissions:
- Full papers (up to 15 pages): Describing thorough and complete research results, tools or experience reports.
- Short papers (up to 7 pages): Describing research results that are not fully developed, or manifestos, calls to action, personal views on FORTE related research, on the current state of the art, or on prospects for the years to come.
- Tool demonstration papers (up to 7 pages): focus on the usage aspects of tools. Theoretical foundations and experimental evaluation are not required, however, a motivation as to why the tool is interesting and significant should be provided. Papers may have an appendix of up to 5 additional pages with details on the actual demonstration.
- Posters (up to 3 pages): Students can submit descriptions of posters that will be presented at the conference - during a students poster session. Neither the descriptions or the posters will be published in the proceedings.
Each paper will undergo a peer review of at least 3 anonymous reviewers.
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS
Series. The best papers will be invited after the conference to contribute
to a special issue of a top-level journal.
* Publication *
Each paper will undergo a thorough process of review and the conference
proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series.
