                                          Scope

The component-based software development approach has emerged as a promising
paradigm to cope with the complexity of present-day software systems by
bringing sound engineering principles into software engineering. However, many
challenging conceptual and technological issues still remain in component
-/service-based software development theory and practice. Moreover, the
advent of cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, and of the Internet of
things has brought to the fore new dimensions, such as quality of service,
reconfiguration and robustness to withstand inevitable faults, which require established
concepts to be revisited and new ones to be developed in order to meet the
opportunities offered by those architectures.

FACS 2016 is concerned with how formal methods can be used to make
component-based and service-oriented software development succeed. Formal methods have
provided a foundation for component-based software by successfully
addressing challenging issues such as mathematical models for components,
composition and adaptation, or rigorous approaches to verification, deployment, testing, and
certification.

                                     Topics

The conference seeks to address the applications of formal methods in all
aspects of software components and services, with a particular focus on
cyber-physical systems and the Internet of things. Specific topics include,
but are not limited to:

* formal models for software components and their interaction
* formal aspects of services, service oriented architectures, and
business processes
* formal methods and modeling languages for components and services
* model based and GUI based testing of components and services
* composition and deployment: models, calculi, languages
* component/service re-engineering and reuse
* models for QoS and other extra-functional properties   (e.g., trust,
compliance, security) of components and services
* industrial or experience reports, and case studies
* update and reconfiguration of component and service architectures
* component systems evolution and maintenance
* autonomic components and self-managed applications
* formal and rigorous approaches to software adaptation and
self-adaptive systems

Application areas include cyber-physical systems, as well as real-time,
safety-critical, secure and/or embedded systems.

                              Submissions

We solicit high-quality submissions reporting on:
A - original research contributions (18 pages max);
B - applications and experiences (18 pages max);
C - surveys, comparisons, and state-of-the-art reports (18 pages max);
D - tool papers (6 pages max);

In addition, we solicit submissions to the Doctoral Track of FACS 2016,
in the form of abstracts (3 pages max) concisely capturing work in progress,
related topic, context, research questions, envisaged contributions, and partial
results. All submissions must be original, unpublished, and not submitted
concurrently for publication elsewhere. Papers should be formatted
according to the guidelines for Springer LNCS papers. Revised versions of accepted
papers will be published as a volume in the Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series.

A special issue of the Science of Computer Programming journal will be
devoted to extended versions of selected papers from FACS 2016.
