13e édition de la conférence internationale Formal Aspects of Component Software (FACS)

L'approche - actuellement émergente - de développement de
logiciels fondée sur les composants s'appuie sur un paradigme prometteur pour
faire face à la complexité des logiciels actuels. Il reste toutefois de
nombreux défis, tant conceptuels que techniques, tant théoriques que pratiques.

En outre, les systèmes hébergés et l'Internet des objets apportent
de nouvelles opportunités et de nouvelles notions, telles que la qualité, la
robustesse, les reconfigurations. Ces nouveautés mènent à la révision de
beaucoup de concepts.

FACS 2016 aborde l'utilisation de méthodes formelles pour la
programmation de logiciels et de services fondés sur des composants physiques.
De telles méthodes ont conduit à des modèles mathématiques pour la définition,
la composition et l'adaptation de ces composants. Elles ont aussi abouti à des approches
rigoureuses pour la vérification, le déploiement, le test et la certification.

La conférence vise ainsi les applications de méthodes formelles dans
tous les aspects des composants et services logiciels, avec une attention
particulière aux systèmes physiques connectés et à l'Internet des objets. Voici
une liste non exhaustive des champs spécifiques :

- modèles, aspects formels et modélisations pour les composants,
services, interactions et architectures ;
- tests de composants et de services fondés sur des modèles et
des interfaces graphiques ;
- modèles pour la composition, le déploiement et l'étude de
propriétés non fonctionnelles (p. ex., confiance, sécurité,etc.) ;
- évolution, mise à jour, reconfiguration, (auto-)adaptation
de systèmes.

Cette conférence rassemblera à Besançon du 19 au 21 octobre une cinquantaine de scientifiques internationaux du domaine.
