This book constitutes the thoroughly revised selected papers from the 17th International Symposium, FACS 2021, which was hel virtually in October 2021. The 7 full papers and 1 short contribution were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 submissions and are presented in the volume together with 1 invited paper. FACS 2021 is concerned with how formal methods can be applied to component-based software and system development. The book is subdivided into two blocks: Modelling & Composition and Verification. Chapter "A Linear Parallel Algorithm to Compute Bisimulation and Relational Coarsest Partitions" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods, SEFM 2014, held in Grenoble, France, in September 2014. The 23 full papers presented together with 3 invited and 6 tool papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 106 submissions. They are organized in topical section on program verification, testing, component-based systems, real-time and embedded systems, model checking and automata learning, program correctness, and adaptive and multi-agent systems.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 9th International Symposium on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS 2012, held in Mountain View, CA, USA in September 2012. The 16 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They cover topics such as formal models for software components and their interaction; formal aspects of services, service oriented architectures, business processes, and cloud computing; design and verification methods for software components and services; composition and deployment: models, calculi, languages; formal methods and modeling languages for components and services; model based and GUI based testing of components and services; models for QoS and other extra-functional properties (e.g., trust, compliance, security) of components and services; components for real-time, safety-critical, secure, and/or embedded systems; industrial or experience reports and case studies; update and reconfiguration of component and service architectures; component systems evolution and maintenance; autonomic components and self-managed applications; formal and rigorous approaches to software adaptation and self-adaptive systems.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 16th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2011, held in Trento, Italy, in August 2011. The 16 papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions. The aim of the FMICS workshop series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. It also strives to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications.

This book contains the thoroughly refereed technical papers presented in eight workshops collocated with the International Conference on Software Technologies: Applications and Foundations, STAF 2018, held in Toulouse, France, in June 2018.
