=======================================================================

The combined “Formal Methods for Open Object-based Distributed Systems
and Distributed Applications and Interoperable Systems” workshop is
intended for PhD students working within the area of formal method
support for Open Object-based distributed systems and
technologies/platforms for reconfigurable, scalable, and adaptable
distributed systems. All relevant topics are considered, including but
not restricted to:

* Formal models and techniques for specification, design or analysis
* Testing, validation and verification
* Formal support for software development
* Frameworks for modelling, specifying, monitoring and managing
   context-aware applications
* Support for reconfiguration, self-organisation and autonomic behaviour
* Foundations and applications of web services
* Formal models for coordination, components and component based
   software
* Semantics of object-oriented, component-oriented and aspect-oriented
   programming languages and systems

The workshop extends the FMOODS and DAIS 2003 conferences. Details of
these can be found at: http://fedconf.enst.fr/

The PhD Student Workshop will run in conjunction with FMOODS and DAIS
2003 and all participants will gain full access to both the workshop and
the conferences. The workshop will be run by students for students.
