Formal Techniques for Distributed Objects, Components, and Systems

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 37th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Objects, Components, and Systems, FORTE 2017, held in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, in June 2017, as part of the 12th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques, DisCoTec 2017. The 13 revised full papers presented together with 3 short and 1 tool papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The papers present a wide range of topics on distributed computing models and formal specification, testing, and verification methods.
