title: International Conference on Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems
text: # International Conference on Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems
  
  The IFIP International Conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Objects, Components and Systems (FORTE) is part of the federated conference event DisCoTec (Distributed Computing Techniques) which also includes the International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages (COORDINATION) and the IFIP International Conference on Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems (DAIS).
  
  Until 2013, the conference was held as IFIP Joint International Conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Systems and consisted of the two conference series FMOODS and FORTE.
  
  ## Scope
  
  The joined conference FMOODS/FORTE is a forum for fundamental research on theory, models, tools and applications of distributed systems. The conference solicits original contributions that advance the science and technologies for distributed systems, in particular in the areas of:
  
  * component- and model-based design
  * object technology, modularity, software adaptation
  * service-oriented, ubiquitous, pervasive, grid, cloud and mobile computing systems
  * software quality, reliability, availability and security
  * security, privacy and trust in distributed systems
  * adaptive distributed systems, self-stabilization
  * self-healing/organizing
  * verification, validation, formal analysis and testing of the above
  
  Contributions that combine theory and practice and that exploit formal methods and theoretical foundations to present novel solutions to problems arising from the development of distributed systems are encouraged. This conference covers distributed computing models and formal specification, testing and verification methods. The application domains include all kinds of application-level distributed systems, telecommunication services, Internet, embedded and real-time systems, as well as networking and communication security and reliability.
