  This volume contains the proceedings of FOCLASA 2014, the 13th International
Workshop on the Foundations of Coordination Languages and Self-Adaptive
Systems. FOCLASA 2014 was held in Rome, Italy, on September 9, 2014 as a
satellite event of CONCUR 2014, the 25th International Conference on
Concurrency Theory.
  Modern software systems are distributed, concurrent, mobile, and often
involve composition of heterogeneous components and stand-alone services.
Service coordination and self-adaptation constitute the core characteristics of
distributed and service-oriented systems. Coordination languages and formal
approaches to modelling and reasoning about self-adaptive behaviour help to
simplify the development of complex distributed service-based systems, enable
functional correctness proofs and improve reusability and maintainability of
such systems. The goal of the FOCLASA workshop is to put together researchers
and practitioners of the aforementioned fields, to share and identify common
problems, and to devise general solutions in the context of coordination
languages and self-adaptive systems.
