INVITED TALKS
------------------------------------------------------------

Formal Verification of Smart Contract with the KeY Tool by Bernhard Beckert.
Abstract. Smart contracts are programs building on blockchain technology. They implement functionality that has been agreed on between the concerned parties on a network. However, their immutability and exposed position make them vulnerable to programming errors, leading to faulty behavior and possible exploits. Therefore, smart contracts demand a particularly thorough analysis, ideally using formal program verification. In this talk, I will give a short overview of the program verification tool KeY for Java programs, including latest work estimating the coverage of partial proofs. And I will present an approach for the deductive verification of Hyperledger Fabric smart contracts using the KeY prover.

TBA by Einar-Broch Johnsen.

PUBLICATIONS
* Publication of the proceedings in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science of Springer-Verlag, following the collective volumes published by SEFM 2019
* Publication of extended version of selected work is planned in a special issue of an international journal as in previous editions of FOCLASA

WORKSHOP GOALS

Nowadays software systems are distributed, concurrent, mobile, and often involve the composition of heterogeneous components and stand-alone (micro)services. Service coordination, service orchestration and self-adaptation constitute the core characteristics of distributed and service-oriented systems. Theoretical/practical approaches to modelling and reasoning about (self-)adaptive behaviour help to simplify the development of complex distributed systems, enable their validation and evaluation, and improve interoperability, 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 novel solutions.
------------------------------------------------------------

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) both theoretical and practical solutions for what follows:
* Coordination, orchestration, composition and adaptation of components, services or microservices.
* Business processes and concurrent system modelling.
* Languages and models for component and service interaction, their semantics, expressiveness, validation and verification, type checking, static and dynamic analysis.
* Cloud/fog/edge computing, and large-scale distributed systems.
* Dynamic software architectures, self-adaptive, self-monitoring and self-organizing systems.
* Peer-to-peer and multi-agent systems, and blockchains.
* QoS observation, storage, history-based analysis in 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 editions of FOCLASA.
