Important Dates
- Abstract submission: January 15, 2008 (extended)

- Notification to authors: March 7, 2008
- Conference: June 4-6, 2008
Scope
The goal of the FMOODS series of conferences is to bring together researchers and practitioners whose work encompasses three important and related fields:
- formal methods
- distributed systems,
- object-based technology.
The conference will especially welcome novel contributions reflecting recent developments in the area, in particular component- and model-based design, service-oriented computing and software quality.
We solicit paper in all areas of global computing, including (but not limited to):
- Semantics and implementation of object-oriented programming and (visual) modelling languages
- Formal techniques for specification, design, analysis, verification, validation and testing
- Model checking, theorem proving and deductive verification
- Type systems and behavioural typing
- Formal methods for service-oriented computing
- Formal techniques for security and trust in global computing
- Formalization of runtime system evolution (e.g. dynamic updates, reconfiguration)
- Multiple viewpoint modelling and consistency between different views
- Model transformations and refactorings
- Integration of quality of service requirements into formal models
- Formal approaches to component-based design
Applications of formal methods (e.g. web services, multimedia, telecommunications)
- Experience reports on best practices and tools
Invited Speaker
- Andrew Myers, Cornell University
