This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Fifth International AMAST Workshop on Formal Methods for Real-Time and Probabilistic Systems, ARTS '99, held in Bamberg, Germany in May 1999. The 17 revised full papers presented together with three invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on verification of probabilistic systems, model checking for probabilistic systems, semantics of probabilistic process calculi, semantics of real-time processes, real-time compilation, stochastic process algebra, and modeling and verification of real-time systems.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the first International Conference on Principles of Security and Trust, POST 2012, held in Tallinn, Estonia, in March/April 2012, as part of ETAPS 2012, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 20 papers, presented together with the abstract of an invited talk and a joint-ETAPS paper, were selected from a total of 67 submissions. Topics covered by the papers include: foundations of security, authentication, confidentiality, privacy and anonymity, authorization and trust, network security, protocols for security, language-based security, and quantitative security properties.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Symposium on Model Checking Software, SPIN 2013, held in Stony Brook, NY, USA, in July 2013. The 18 regular papers, 2 tool demonstration papers, and 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The traditional focus of SPIN has been on explicit-state model checking techniques, as implemented in SPIN and other related tools. While such techniques are still of key interest to the workshop, its scope has broadened over recent years to include techniques for the verification and formal testing of software systems in general.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Concurrency Theory, CONCUR 2009, held in Bologna, Italy, September 1-4, 2009. The 37 revised full papers presented together with four invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 129 submissions. The topics include model checking, process calculi, minimization and equivalence checking, types, semantics, probability, bisimulation and simulation, real time, and formal languages.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Runtime Verification, RV 2013, held in Rennes, France, in September 2013. The 24 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers, 2 tool papers, and 6 tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. The papers address a wide range of specification languages and formalisms for traces; specification mining; program instrumentation; monitor construction techniques; logging, recording, and replay; fault detection, localization, recovery, and repair; program steering and adaptation; as well as metrics and statistical information gathering; combination of static and dynamic analyses and program execution visualization.
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Concurrency Theory. Thirty full papers are presented along with three important invited papers. Each of these papers was carefully reviewed by the editors. Topics include model checking, process calculi, minimization and equivalence checking, types, semantics, probability, bisimulation and simulation, real time, and formal languages.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2001, held in Genova, Italy in April 2001. The 22 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 74 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on metamodeling, distributed components, UML, testing, formal methods, and case studies.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis, ATVA 2012, held at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, in October 2012. The 25 regular papers, 3 invited papers and 4 tool papers presented were carefully selected from numerous submissions. Conference papers are organized in 9 technical sessions, covering the topics of automata theory, logics and proofs, model checking, software verification, synthesis, verification and parallelism, probabilistic verification, constraint solving and applications, and probabilistic systems.
This useful volume adopts a balanced approach between technology and mathematical modeling in computer networks, covering such topics as switching elements and fabrics, Ethernet, and ALOHA design. The discussion includes a variety of queueing models, routing, protocol verification and error codes and divisible load theory, a new modeling technique with applications to grids and parallel and distributed processing. Examples at the end of each chapter provide ample material for practice. This book can serve as an text for an undergraduate or graduate course on computer networks or performance evaluation in electrical and computer engineering or computer science.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Foundations of Software Science and Computational Structures, FOSSACS 2012, held as part of the joint European Conference on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2012, which took place in Tallinn, Estonia, in March/April 2012. The 29 papers presented in this book together with two invited talks in full paper length were carefully reviewed and selected from 100 full paper submissions. The papers deal with theories and methods to support analysis, synthesis, transformation and verification of programs and software systems.
