========================

COORDINATION 2015 Call for Papers

COORDINATION 2015 is the premier forum for publishing research results and experience reports on software technologies for collaboration and coordination in concurrent, distributed, and complex systems. The key focus of the conference is the quest for high-level abstractions that can capture interaction patterns and mechanisms occurring at all levels of the software architecture, up to the end-user domain. COORDINATION 2015 seeks high-quality contributions on the usage, study, formal analysis, design, and implementation of languages, models, and techniques for coordination in distributed, concurrent, pervasive, and multicore software systems. This edition also additionally seeks to adapt and integrate traditional COORDINATION techniques in the realm of multi-agent systems (MAS), which typically involve more corse-grained (cognitive, intelligent, goal-oriented) components. Main topics of interest:

Programming abstractions and languages Coordination models and paradigms Specification and verification Foundations and types Distributed middleware architectures Multicore programming Coordinated distributed applications Bio-inspired computing models Coordination mechanisms for self-adaptation and self-organisation Teamwork and distributed problem solving Collective intelligence Auction and NegotiationArgumentation, trust, norms and reputation Coordination mechanisms for rational agents Coordination middleware for mobile agents Coordination of federated MASs

Submission and publication:

Contributions must be written in English and report on original, unpublished work not submitted for publication elsewhere (cf. IFIP’s codes of conduct). The submissions must not exceed the page number limit (see below), including figures and references, prepared using Springer’s LNCS style. Submissions not adhering to the above specified constraints may be rejected without review. Papers should be submitted as PDF or PS via EasyChair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=coordination2015.

We solicit three kinds of submissions:

- Full papers* (up to 16 pages): Describing thorough and complete research results and experience reports. - Short papers* (up to 8 pages): Describing research results that are not fully developed, or even manifestos, calls to action, personal views on the past of Coordination research, on the current state of the art, or on prospects for the years to come. - Posters* (up to 3 pages): Summarising research projects worth being advertised and discussed in a lively fashion at the conference.

The conference proceedings, formed by accepted submissions of all three kinds above, will be published by Springer in the LNCS Series.

========================

FORTE 2015 is a forum for fundamental research on theory, models, tools, and applications for distributed systems. The conference solicits original contributions that advance the science and technologies for distributed systems, with special interest in the areas of:

service-oriented, ubiquitous, pervasive, grid, cloud, and mobile computing systems; object technology, modularity, component- and model-based design; software reliability, availability, and safety; 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. FORTE 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. Main topics of interest

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Languages and semantic foundations: new modeling and language concepts for distribution and concurrency, semantics for different types of languages, including programming languages, modeling languages, and domain-specific languages; real-time and probability aspects; Formal methods and techniques: design, specification, analysis, verification, validation, testing and runtime verification of various types of distributed systems including communications and network protocols, service-oriented systems, adaptive distributed systems, cyber-physical systems and sensor networks; Foundations of security: new principles for qualitative and quantitative security analysis of distributed systems, including formal models based on probabilistic concepts; Applications of formal methods: applying formal methods and techniques for studying quality, reliability, availability, and safety of distributed systems; Practical experience with formal methods: industrial applications, case studies and software tools for applying formal methods and description techniques to the development and analysis of real distributed systems.

Submission and publication

Contributions must be written in English and report on original, unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere (cf. IFIP’s codes of conduct). The submissions must be prepared using Springer’s LNCS style. Submissions not adhering to the specified constraints may be rejected without review. Papers can be submitted electronically in pdf via the FORTE’15 interface of the EasyChair system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=forte2015

We solicit four kinds of submissions:

Full papers (up to 15 pages): Describing thorough and complete research results, tools or experience reports. Short papers (up to 7 pages): Describing research results that are not fully developed, or manifestos, calls to action, personal views on FORTE related research, on the current state of the art, or on prospects for the years to come. Tool demonstration papers (up to 7 pages): focus on the usage aspects of tools. Theoretical foundations and experimental evaluation are not required, however, a motivation as to why the tool is interesting and significant should be provided. Papers may have an appendix of up to 5 additional pages with details on the actual demonstration. Posters (up to 3 pages): Summarising research projects worth being advertised and discussed in at the conference.

Each paper will undergo a peer review of at least 3 anonymous reviewers. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the LNCS Series. The best papers will be invited after the conference to contribute to a special issue of a top-level journal (TCS or FMSD).
