  Welcome to the proceedings of FOCLASA 2012, the 11th International Workshop
on the Foundations of Coordination Languages and Self-Adaptation. FOCLASA 2012
was held in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, on September 8, 2012 as a satellite event
of CONCUR 2012, the 23rd International Conference on Concurrency Theory. The
workshop provides a venue where researchers and practitioners could meet,
exchange ideas, identify common problems, determine some of the key and
fundamental issues related to coordination languages and self adaptation, and
explore together and disseminate solutions. Indeed, a number of hot research
topics are currently sharing the common problem of combining concurrent,
distributed, mobile and heterogeneous components, trying to harness the
intrinsic complexity of the resulting systems. Computation nowadays is becoming
inherently concurrent, either because of characteristics of the hardware (with
multicore processors becoming omnipresent) or due to the ubiquitous presence of
distributed systems (incarnated in the Internet). Computational systems are
therefore typically distributed, concurrent, mobile, and often involve
composition of heterogeneous components. To specify and reason about such
systems and go beyond the functional correctness proofs, e.g., by supporting
reusability and improving maintainability, approaches such as coordination
languages and self adaptation are recognised as fundamental.
  This year, we received 13 submissions involving 35 authors from 10 different
countries. Papers underwent a rigorous review process, and all accepted papers
received 3 review reports. After the review process, the international Program
Committee of FOCLASA 2012 decided to select 8 papers for presentation during
the workshop and inclusion in these proceedings. These papers tackle different
issues that are currently central to our community, self-adaptation and
coordination, processes and coordination, and type systems. The workshop
features an invited talk by Sebastian Uchitel from Imperial College London
(UK).
