Leveraging Applications of Formal Methods, Verification and Validation
This volume contains the conference proceedings of ISoLA 2008, the Third International Symposium on Leveraging Applications of Formal Methods, Verification and Validation, which was held in Porto Sani (Kassandra, Chalkidiki), Greece during October 13–15, 2008, sponsored by EASST and in cooperation with the IEEE Technical Committee on Complex Systems. Following the tradition of its forerunners in 2004 and 2006 in Cyprus, and the ISoLA Workshops in Greenbelt (USA) in 2005 and in Poitiers (France) in 2007, ISoLA 2008 provided a forum for developers, users, and researchers to discuss issues related to the adoption and use of rigorous tools and methods for the specification, analysis, verificat...
Radical Innovations of Software and Systems Engineering in the Future
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 9th International Workshop on Radical Innovations of Software and Systems Engineering in the Future, RISSEF 2002, held in Venice, Italy, in October 2002. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from the 36 invited workshop presentations. The authors evaluate all major paradigms and conceptual issues in software and systems design and analysis, especially regarding their potential for modifications to cope with future needs.
Innovative Concepts for Autonomic and Agent-Based Systems
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Radical Agent Concepts, WRAC 2005, held in Greenbelt, MD, USA in September 2005. The 27 full papers presented are fully revised to incorporate reviewers' comments and discussions at the workshop. Topics addressed are social aspects of agents, agent architectures, autonomic systems, agent communities, and agent intelligence.
Model Checking Software
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International SPIN workshop on Model Checking Software, SPIN 2006, held in Vienna, Austria in March/April 2006 as satellite event of ETAPS 2006. The 16 revised full papers presented together with three tool presentation papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections.
Mathematical Foundations of Advanced Informatics
The books in this trilogy capture the foundational core of advanced informatics. The authors make the foundations accessible, enabling students to become effective problem solvers. This first volume establishes the inductive approach as a fundamental principle for system and domain analysis. After a brief introduction to the elementary mathematical structures, such as sets, propositional logic, relations, and functions, the authors focus on the separation between syntax (representation) and semantics (meaning), and on the advantages of the consistent and persistent use of inductive definitions. They identify compositionality as a feature that not only acts as a foundation for algebraic proofs but also as a key for more general scalability of modeling and analysis. A core principle throughout is invariance, which the authors consider a key for the mastery of change, whether in the form of extensions, transformations, or abstractions. This textbook is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science and for self-study. Most chapters contain exercises and the content has been class-tested over many years in various universities.
Petri Net Technology for Communication-Based Systems
This state-of-the-art survey in the Advances in Petri Nets series reports how various well-established and novel Petri net notions and techniques can be employed for modelling communication-based systems, with a particular focus on workflow management and business processes. The book builds on the success of a special program of the German Science Foundation (DFG) on Petri Net Technology as well as on broad participation from the international Petri net research community.
Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2018, held in Maynooth, Ireland, in September 2018. The 9 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 17 submissions. The book also contains two invited talks in full-paper length. In addition, there are 8 invited contributions in honor of Susanne Graf (Director of Research at VERIMAG Grenoble, France) on the occasion of her 60th birthday. The aim of the FMICS conference series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. In particular, FMICS brings together scientists and engineers who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. The FMICS conference series also strives to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications.
Software Technology
A comprehensive collection of influential articles from one of IEEE Computer magazine’s most popular columns This book is a compendium of extended and revised publications that have appeared in the “Software Technologies” column of IEEE Computer magazine, which covers key topics in software engineering such as software development, software correctness and related techniques, cloud computing, self-managing software and self-aware systems. Emerging properties of software technology are also discussed in this book, which will help refine the developing framework for creating the next generation of software technologies and help readers predict future developments and challenges in the fi...
Conquering Complexity
Software has long been perceived as complex, at least within Software Engineering circles. We have been living in a recognised state of crisis since the first NATO Software Engineering conference in 1968. Time and again we have been proven unable to engineer reliable software as easily/cheaply as we imagined. Cost overruns and expensive failures are the norm. The problem is fundamentally one of complexity: software is fundamentally complex because it must be precise. Problems that appear to be specified quite easily in plain language become far more complex when written in a more formal notation, such as computer code. Comparisons with other engineering disciplines are deceptive. One cannot ...
