The content covers a range of topics related to software systems and their complexities. It begins with invited talks that provide a reasoned overview of modeling complex software systems and introduces the ?+? CAL algorithm language. The discussion on service-oriented systems includes semantic-based development and middleware for service coordination. It also analyzes realizability conditions for web service choreographies and presents concepts like the Web Cube and presence interaction management in SIP SOHO architecture. The formal analysis of dynamic, distributed file-system access controls is explored, along with an examination of the MUTE anonymous file-sharing system using the Pi-calculus. The text delves into automated verification of publish-subscribe architectures and introduces a LOTOS framework for middleware specification. Composition and synthesis topics include automatic synthesis of assumptions for compositional model checking and refined interfaces for verification. Logics are addressed through decidable extensions of Hennessy-Milner logic and symbolic verification techniques, including concurrent program slicing. The annotation also discusses reducing software architecture model complexity and presents unified modeling languages, branching time semantics for UML 2.0, and formalizing collaboration goal sequences. Petri nets are examined, focusing on standardization, resource allocation systems, and optimize

This volume contains the proceedings of the 6th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems, held in Paris, France, from November 19–21, 2003. This event marked the sixth in a series of conferences that occur approximately every 18 months, with previous meetings in locations such as Canterbury, Florence, Stanford, and Twente. The FMOODS series aims to unite researchers from three interrelated fields: formal methods, distributed systems, and object-based technology. This convergence reflects recent advancements in distributed systems and fosters connections among various scientific and technological communities, including those represented by conferences like FORTE/PSTV, CONCUR, and ECOOP. FMOODS serves as an integrated forum for presenting research and exchanging ideas related to formal methods supporting open object-based distributed systems. Topics of interest for submissions included formal models, specification and design techniques, component-based design, verification, testing, semantics of programming languages, type systems, behavioral typing, multiple viewpoint modeling, model transformations, integration of quality of service requirements, security models, and practical applications.
