6th International Workshop on the
Foundations of Coordination Languages and Software Architectures
FOCLASA 2007
A Satellite Workshop of CONCUR 2007
Lisbon (Portugal), September 8, 2007
http://foclasa07@lcc.uma.es
Abstract
A number of hot research topics are currently sharing the common
problem of combining concurrent, distributed, mobile and heterogeneous
services and components, while harnessing the intrinsic complexity of
the resulting systems. These include Web Services, multi-agent systems,
peer-to-peer systems, grid computing, and component-based systems.
Fundamental approaches to tackle these issues rely on foundational works
in the context of coordination languages and software architectures,
which are generally claimed to improve software productivity, enhance
maintainability, advocate modularity, promote reusability, and lead to
systems which are more tractable and more amenable to verification and
global analysis. The goal of this workshop is to put together
researchers and practitioners of the aforementioned fields, and to share
and identify general and specific problems and solutions.
Important dates
Abstract: June 3, 2007
Submission: June 10, 2007
Notification July 10, 2007
Final version: July 30, 2007
Workshop: September 8, 2007
Topics of interest
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
* Theoretical models (coordination, component and service
composition, concurrency, semantics, expressiveness)
* Specification, refinement, and analysis of software systems
(architectures, patterns and styles, verification of
functional and non-functional properties)
* Languages for interaction, coordination, architectures, and
interface definition (implementation, interoperability,
heterogeneity)
* Dynamic software architectures (mobile agents, self-
organizing/adaptive/reconfigurable systems)
* Tools and environments for the development of applications.
In particular, practice, experience and methodologies from the
following areas are solicited as well:
* Web Services
* Multi-agent systems
* Peer-to-peer systems
* Grid computing
* Component-based systems
Call for Papers
FOCLASA 2007 invites the submission of technical papers in any of
the topics of interest and areas listed above. Submissions must
describe authors' original research work and their results. Description
of work-in-progress is also encouraged. The contributions should not
exceed 15 pages formatted according to the style of the Electronic
Notes on Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS), and should be
e-mailed as PostScript (PS) or Portable Document Format (PDF)
files to foclasa07 at lcc.uma.es.
The deadline for paper submission to FOCLASA 2007 is June 10,
2007. However, if you intend to submit a paper to the workshop,
please inform us of the title and abstract by June 3, so we can
organize in advance and speed up the reviewing process.
All submissions will be reviewed by an international program
committee that will select them for presentation in the workshop.
Selected papers will be available through the workshop website,
and a printed version of the proceedings will be distributed among
participants during the workshop. The proceedings of the workshop
will be published in Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer
Science (ENTCS).
Participants will make a presentation of their papers, followed
by a round of questions and discussion on participants' work. The
workshop will also include a closing panel in which several issues
related to the topics of the workshop and some issues raised
during the workshop will be discussed. The Panel Chair will invite
the panelists and moderate the debate.
The publication of a special issue on FOCLASA 2007 in an
international scientific journal is also being prepared. Workshop
participants will be invited to submit an extended version of their
papers after the workshop. These extended versions will be
reviewed by an international program committee, which will
decide on their final publication on the special issue. Previous
editions of FOCLASA have been published on Fundamenta
Informaticae and Science of Computer Programming.
