International Conference on Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems
Encyclopedia
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 International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages (COORDINATION) and the IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS).

Scope

The joined conference FMOODS/FORTE is a forum for fundamental research
Research
Research can be defined as the scientific search for knowledge, or as any systematic investigation, to establish novel facts, solve new or existing problems, prove new ideas, or develop new theories, usually using a scientific method...

 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
  • object technology, modularity, software adaptation
  • 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
Formal methods
In computer science and software engineering, formal methods are a particular kind of mathematically-based techniques for the specification, development and verification of software and hardware systems...

 and theoretical foundations.

FMOODS/FORTE covers distributed computing models and formal specification
Formal specification
In computer science, a formal specification is a mathematical description of software or hardware that may be used to develop an implementation. It describes what the system should do, not how the system should do it...

, 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.
