This book constitutes the thoroughly revised selected papers from the 14th International
Conference on Formal Aspects of Component Software FACS 2017 held in Braga Portugal in
October 2017. The 14 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 26
submissions. FACS 2016 is concerned with how formal methods can be used to make component-based
and service-oriented software development succeed. Formal methods have provided a foundation
for component-based software by successfully addressing challenging issues such as mathematical
models for components composition and adaptation or rigorous approaches to verification
deployment testing and certification.
