WORKSHOP GOALS
Nowadays software systems are distributed, concurrent, mobile, and
often involve the composition of heterogeneous components and
stand-alone services. Service coordination and self-adaptation
constitute the core character istics of distributed and
service-oriented systems. Coordination languages and formal
approaches to modelling and reasoning about self-adaptive behaviour
help to simplify the development of complex distributed service-based
systems, enable functional correctness proofs and improve reusability
and maintainability of such systems. The goal of the FOCLASA workshop
is to gather researchers and practitioners of the aforementioned
fields, to share and identify common problems, and to devise general
solutions in the context of coordination languages and self-adaptive
systems.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Theoretical models and frameworks for component and service
coordination, service composition, service adaptation and concurrent
system modeling.
Applications and usability studies for the aforementioned theoretical
models, interaction and coordination challenges in various
application domains.
Languages and specification protocols for component and service
interaction, their semantics, expressiveness, validation and
verification, type checking, static and dynamic analysis.
"Software as a service" models (e.g., cloud computing) and dynamic
software architectures, such as self-adaptive and self-organizing
systems.
Tools and environments for the development of concurrent and
customizable self-monitoring, self-adaptive and self-organizing
applications.
Algorithms, mathematical models and realization frameworks for
quality-of-service observation, storage, history-based analysis in
self-adaptive systems (queuing models, load balancing, analysis of
fault-tolerance, machine learning systems).
Practice, experience and methodologies from the following areas are
solicited as well:
PROCEEDINGS
The conference proceedings will be published by Springer, in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
Extended versions of a selection of the best papers is planned to be
published in a special issue of an international journal as in
previous issues of FOCLASA.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
Papers must be submitted electronically in PostScript or PDF by using
a two-phase online submission process. Registration of information and
and abstract (max. 250 words) of papers must be completed before April
22, 2018. Final submission of papers is due no later than April 30,
2018. All submissions will be handled through the EasyChair conference
management system, accessible from the conference web site:
http://pages.di.unipi.it/foclasa
Contributions must be written in English and report on original,
unpublished work not submitted for publication elsewhere. Full papers
should be 15 pages long, including figures and references, and
prepared by using Springer's LNCS style. Short papers (6 pages long)
describing preliminary results or work-in-progress are encouraged as
well. Submissions not adhering to the above specified constraints may
be rejected without any review. Papers should be submitted as PDF or
PS via EasyChair.
