Illustrates by example the typical steps necessary in computer science to build a mathematical model of any programming paradigm . Presents results of a large and integrated body of research in the area of 'quantitative' program logics.
Provides an integrated coverage of random/probabilistic algorithms, assertion-based program reasoning, and refinement programming models, providing a focused survey on probabilistic program semantics. This book illustrates, by examples, the typical steps necessary to build a mathematical model of any programming paradigm.
The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, VMCAI 2009, held in Savannah, GA, USA, in January 2009 - co-located with POPL 2009, the 36th Annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages. The 24 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited talks and 2 invited tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 72 submissions. The papers address all current issues from the communities of verification, model checking, and abstract interpretation, facilitating interaction, cross-fertilization, and advancement of hybrid methods that combine the three areas.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 20th European Symposium on Programming, ESOP 2011, held in Saarbrücken, Germany, March 30—April 1, 2011, as part of ETAPS 2011, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. The 24 revised full papers presented together with one full length invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 93 full paper submissions. Papers were invited on all aspects of programming language research including: programming paradigms and styles, methods and tools to write and specify programs and languages, methods and tools for reasoning about programs, methods and tools for implementation, and concurrency and distribution.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Unifying Theories of Programming, UTP 2012, held in Paris, France, in August 2012, co-located with the 18th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2012. The 8 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks and one invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions.
This open access two-volume set LNCS 13371 and 13372 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 34rd International Conference on Computer Aided Verification, CAV 2022, which was held in Haifa, Israel, in August 2022. The 40 full papers presented together with 9 tool papers and 2 case studies were carefully reviewed and selected from 209 submissions. The papers were organized in the following topical sections: Part I: Invited papers; formal methods for probabilistic programs; formal methods for neural networks; software Verification and model checking; hyperproperties and security; formal methods for hardware, cyber-physical, and hybrid systems. Part II: Probabilistic techniques; automata and logic; deductive verification and decision procedures; machine learning; synthesis and concurrency. This is an open access book.
This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2020, which took place in Dublin, Ireland, in April 2020, and was held as Part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2020. The 23 full papers, 1 tool paper and 6 testing competition papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The papers cover topics such as requirements engineering, software architectures, specification, software quality, validation, verification of functional and non-functional properties, model-driven development and model transformation, software processes, security and software evolution.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Software Engineering for Resilient Systems, SERENE 2011, held in Geneva, Switzerland, in September 2011. The 13 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers address all aspects of formal modeling and verification, architecting resilient systems, fault tolerance, requirements engineering and product lines, monitoring and self-adaption, and security and intrusion avoidance.
th FM 2009, the 16 International Symposium on Formal Methods, marked the 10th an- versary of the First World Congress on Formal Methods that was held in 1999 in Toulouse, France. We wished to celebrate this by advertising and organizing FM 2009 as the Second World Congress in the FM series, aiming to once again bring together the formal methods communities from all over the world. The statistics displayed in the table on the next page include the number of countries represented by the Programme Committee members, as well as of the authors of submitted and accepted papers. Novel this year was a special track on tools and industrial applications. Subm- sions of papers on these topics were especially encouraged, but not given any special treatment. (It was just as hard to get a special track paper accepted as any other paper.) What we did promote, however, was a discussion of how originality, contri- tion, and soundness should be judged for these papers. The following questions were used by our Programme Committee.
This book presents the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2006, held in Hamilton, Canada, August 2006. The book presents 36 revised full papers together with 2 invited contributions and extended abstracts of 7 invited industrial presentations, organized in topical sections on interactive verification, formal modelling of systems, real time, industrial experience, specification and refinement, programming languages, algebra, formal modelling of systems, and more.
