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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Objectives and 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 the existing methods and techniques to distributed systems, particularly web services, multimedia systems, and telecommunications * 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 Program Commitee: * Gregor v.

The ubiquity of the Internet allows distributed software components to be composed into complex networked systems. At the other end of the spectrum, with multicore processors now the norm, concurrency is frequently necessary to maximize application performance. Coordination 2009 seeks high-quality papers on programming languages, models, and architectures that address the challenge of building robust distributed and concurrent applications. The conference focuses on the design and implementation of models that allow compositional construction of large-scale concurrent and distributed systems, including both practical and foundational models, runtime systems, and related verification and analysis techniques. Topics of Interest DISTRIBUTED AND CONCURRENT PROGRAMMING MODELS: multicore programming, stream programming, data parallel programming, event-driven programming, web programming FOUNDATIONS OF DISTRIBUTED AND CONCURRENT INTERACTION: models for processes, service composition and orchestration, workflow management, data query, tuple spaces SPECIFICATION, VERIFICATION, AND TYPES: modeling and analysis of types and properties related to security, dependability, resource consumption, and component conformance for concurrent and distributed systems HIGH-LEVEL OPTIMIZATIONS: program transformations for performance enhancement, runtime load balancing techniques, static and dynamic resource management QUALITY OF SERVICE: fault-tolerant programming models and runtime support, models with responsiveness guarantees DISTRIBUTED SOFTWARE MANAGEMENT: component and module systems for distributed software, dynamic software evolution and update technologies, configuration and deployment architectures SYSTEM SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMMING MODELS: P2P frameworks, mobile ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, publish-subscribe systems, event processing CASE STUDIES: application of novel distributed and concurrent techniques in business process modeling, e-commerce, factory automation, collaboration, command and control ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Guidelines The Coordination 2009 conference solicits high quality papers reporting research results and/or experience reports related to the topics mentioned above. All papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted for publication elsewhere. Contributions should be submitted electronically as postscript or PDF, using the SPRINGER LNCS style. Papers should not exceed 15 pages in length. Each paper will undergo a thorough process of review and the conference proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Proceedings will be made available at the conference.
