This book constitutes the thoroughly revised selected papers from the 13th International Conference on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS 2016, held in Besançon, France, in October 2016. The 11 full papers presented together with one tool paper and 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 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.

TheseproceedingsrecordthepaperspresentedattheSeventhInternationalC- ference of B Users (B 2007), held in the city of Besan¸ con in the east of France. This conference was built on the success of the previous six conferences in this series, B 1996, held at the University of Nantes, France; B 1998, held at the University of Montpellier, France; ZB 2000, held at the University of York, UK; ZB 2002, held at the University of Grenoble, France; ZB 2003, held at the U- versity of Turku, Finland; ZB 2005 held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK. B 2007 was held in January at the University of Franche-Comt´ e,Besan¸ con, France, hosted by the Computer Science Department (LIFC). LIFC has always placed particular emphasis on the applicability of its research and its relati- ship with industrial partners. In this context, it created in 2003 a company called LEIRIOS Technologies, which produces an automatic test generator tool (LTG) frommodels described in the B speci?cationlanguage. Other members of LIFC work on extensions of the B method for specifying and verifying dynamic properties. All the submitted papers in these proceedings were peer reviewed by at least three reviewers drawn from the B committee, depending on the subject matter of the paper. The authorsof the papersforB 2007werefrom Australia,Canada, Finland, Germany, France, Switzerland, and the UK. The conference featured a rangeof contributions by distinguished invited speakers drawn from both ind- try and academia.
