This book constitutes the proceedings of the 36th IFIP WG 6.1

International Conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Objects,

Components, and Systems, FORTE 2016, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in June

2016, as part of the 11th International Federated Conference on

Distributed Computing Techniques, DisCoTec 2016.

The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and

selected from 44 submissions. The papers present a wide range of topics

on distributed computing models and formal specification, testing, and

verification methods.
