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 characteristics 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:
* Business process modelling
* Blockchains
* Cloud/fog/edge computing
* Component-based systems
* Large-scale distributed systems
* (Micro)service-based systems
* Multi-agent systems
* Peer-to-peer systems
* Self-adaptive systems
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 13, 2018.
Final submission of papers is due no later than April 20, 2018. All submissions
will be handled through the EasyChair conference management system, accessible

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.
