This volume contains the proceedings of the Ninth IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS 2007). The conference is part of the federated conferences on D- tributed Computing Techniques (DisCoTec), together with the Ninth Inter- tional Conference on Coordination Models and Languages (COORDINATION 2007) and the Seventh IFIP International Conference on Distributed Appli- tions and Interoperable Systems (DAIS 2007). It was organized by the Depa- mentofComputerScienceoftheUniversityofCyprus,anditwasheldinPaphos, Cyprusduring June,6-8,2007.The eventwasthethird federatedDisCoTec c- ferenceseries,initiated inAthensin June2005andcontinuedinBolognainJune 2006. The goal of the FMOODS conferences is to bring together researchers and practitioners whose work encompasses three important and related ?elds: - Formal methods - Distributed systems and - Object-based technology The 17 papers presented at FMOODS 2007and included in this volume were selected by the Programme Committee among 45 submissions. Each submission was reviewed by at least three ProgrammeCommittee members. They all re?ect thescopeoftheconferenceandcoverthe following topics: semantics of obje- oriented programming; formal techniques for speci?cation, analysis, and re?- ment; model checking; theorem proving and deductive veri?cation;type systems and behavioral typing; formal methods for service-oriented computing; integ- tion of quality of service requirements into formal models; formal approaches to component-based design; and applications of formal methods. The two invited speakers of FMOODS 2007, who also contributed to the proceedings in this volume, were: - MariangiolaDezani-Ciancagliniofthe UniversityofTorino,Italy,whoiswell known for her work on intersection-type assignment systems, which were largely used as ?nitary descriptions of lambda-models. More recently, she is interestedin type systems for object-orientedlanguagesand ambientcalculi.

Formal methods have been applied successfully to the verification of medium-sized programs in protocol and hardware design. However, their application to the development of large systems requires more emphasis on specification, modelling and validation techniques supporting the concepts of reusability and modifiability, and their implementation in new extensions of existing programming languages. This book presents 19 revised invited keynote lectures and revised tutorial lectures given by top-researchers at the 4th International Symposium on Formal Methods for Components and Objects, FMCO 2005, held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in November 2005. The book provides a unique combination of ideas on software engineering and formal methods that reflect the current interest in the application or development of formal methods for large scale software systems such as component-based systems and object systems. The papers are organized in topical sections on component and service oriented computing, system design, tools, algebraic methods, model checking, assertional methods, quantitative analysis.

All modern industries rely on large and complex software systems. In order to construct such large systems in a systematic manner, the focus of the development methodologies has switched in the last two decades from functional to structural issues. Formal methods have been applied successfully to the verification of medium-sized programs in protocol and hardware design. However, their application to the development of large systems requires a greater emphasis on specification, modeling, and validation techniques supporting the concepts of reusability and modifiability, and their implementation in new extensions of existing programming languages like Java. This state-of-the-art survey presents the outcome of the 8th Symposium on Formal Methods for Components and Objects, held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in November 2009. The volume contains 17 revised contributions submitted after the symposium by speakers from each of the following European IST projects: the IST-FP6 project BIONETS on biologically inspired services evolution for the pervasive age; the IST-FP7 project COMPAS on compliance-driven models, languages, and architectures for services; the IST-FP6 project CREDO on modelling and analysis of evolutionary structures for distributed services; the IST-FP7 DEPLOY on industrial deployment of advanced system engineering methods for high productivity and dependability; the IST-FP7 project HATS on highly adaptable and trustworthy software using formal methods; the IST-FP7 project INESS on integrated European railway signalling system; the IST-FP7 project MOGENTES on model-based generation of tests for dependable embedded systems; the IST-FP6 project PROTEST on property based testing; and the IST-FP7 project QUASIMODO on quantitative system properties in model-driven-design of embedded systems.

However, their application to the development of large systems requires more emphasis on specification, modelling and validation techniques supporting the concepts of reusability and modifiability, and their implementation in new extensions of existing programming languages. This book presents 12 revised lectures given by top-researchers at the 5th International Symposium on Formal Methods for Components and Objects, FMCO 2006, held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in November 2006.
