Motivation and Scope
Cutting-edge technologies, infrastructures, and computational paradigms such as digital twin, cloud, fog, edge computing, IoT, digitalization, Industry 5.0, and cyber-physical systems are changing how data and services are delivered and used.
Such systems have a significant and elaborate societal impact, making it paramount to guarantee essential qualities of the delivered product, such as dependability, reliability, safety, and availability. As new paradigms become pervasive in our everyday lives, new challenges also emerge in dealing with uncertainty, untrustworthiness, and information loss, affecting the software life cycle in different phases.
Ensuring critical qualities requires a joint effort in devising advanced software architecture designs by the software architecture community and formal modeling and verification approaches by the formal methods community.
The main objective of FAACS is to strengthen the linkage between the formal methods and the software architecture communities and stimulate researchers to share novel ideas and lessons learned from industrial and academic experts from various application domains and software disciplines.
Aligned with the theme of the ICSA 2024, we welcome contributions on the potential and risks of generative AI in developing advanced software architectures and ensuring qualities like dependability, reliability, safety, and availability through formal modeling and verification.
