Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems, FMOODS'96

First IFIP International Workshop
Paris, France, March 4-6, 1996

The First Announcement and Call for Papers is available.
The original announcement is also available.

Object-based Distributed Computing are being established as the most pertinent basis for the support of large, heterogeneous computing and telecommunications systems. The advent of Open Object-based Distributed Systems, OODS, brings new challenges and opportunities for the use and development of formal methods.

The objective of FMOODS is to provide an integrated forum for the presentation of research in several related fields, and the exchange of ideas and experiences in the topics concerned with the formal methods support for Open Object-based Distributed Systems.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: formal models for object-based distributed computing; semantics of object-based distributed systems and programming languages; formal techniques in object-based and object-oriented specification, analysis and design; refinement and transformation of specifications; multiple viewpoint modelling and consistency between different models; formal techniques in distributed systems verification and testing; types, service types and subtyping; specification, verification and testing of quality of service constraints; formal methods and object life cycle.
