Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems V - IFIP TC6 / WG6.1 Fifth International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS 2002) March 20-22, 2002, Enschede, The Netherlands (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2002)

Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems V brings together research in three important and related fields: * Formal methods; * Distributed systems; * Object-based technology. Such a convergence is representative of recent advances in the field of distributed systems, and provides links between several scientific and technological communities. The wide scope of topics covered in this volume range in subject from UML to object-based languages and calculi and security, and in approach from specification to case studies and verification. This volume comprises the proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems (FMOODS 2002), which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and held in Enschede, The Netherlands in March 2002.
