This Festschrift volume, published in honor of Egon Börger, contains 14 papers from a Dagstuhl Seminar, that cover a wide range of applied research, spanning from theoretical and methodological foundations to practical applications.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of the two International Workshops on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2006, and on Parallel and Distributed Methods in Verification, PDMC 2006, held in Bonn, Germany in August 2006 in the course of the 17th International Conference on Concurrency Theory, CONCUR 2006.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 26th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems, FORTE 2006, held in Paris, France, in September 2006. The 26 revised full papers and 4 short papers presented together with 3 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 177 submissions. The papers focus on the construction of middleware and services using formalised and verified approaches.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods, IFM 2007, held in Oxford, UK. It addresses all aspects of formal methods integration, including of a process of analysis or design application of formal methods to analysis or design, extension of one method based upon the inclusion of ideas or concepts from others, and semantic integration or practical application.
Formal methods have been applied successfully to the verification of medium-sized programs in protocol and hardware design. However, their application to the development of large systems requires more emphasis on specification, modelling and validation techniques supporting the concepts of reusability and modifiability, and their implementation in new extensions of existing programming languages like Java. The 6th International Symposium on Formal Methods for Components and Objects, FMCO 2007, was held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in October 2007. This book presents 12 revised papers submitted after the symposium by the speakers of each of the following European IST projects: the IST-FP6 project Mobius, developing the technology for establishing trust and security for the next generation of global computers; the IST-FP6 project SelfMan on self management for large-scale distributed systems based on structured overlay networks and components; the IST-FP6 project GridComp and the FP6 CoreGRID Network of Excellence on grid programming with components; the Real-time component cluster of the Network of Excellence on Embedded System Design ARTIST, focussing on design processes, and architectures for real-time embedded systems; and the IST-FP6 project CREDO on modeling and analysis of evolutionary structures for distributed services.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods, ICFEM 2006, held in Macao, China, in November 2006. The 38 revised full papers presented together with three keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 108 submissions. The papers address all current issues in formal methods and their applications in software engineering.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods, IFM 2009, held in Düsseldorf, Germany in February 2009. The 21 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers address the whole spectrum of integrated formal methods, ranging from formal and semiformal modelling notations, semantics, verification, refinement, model transformations to type systems, logics, tools and case studies.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Brazilian Symposium on Formal Methods, SBMF 2016, which took place in Natal, Brazil, in November 2016. The 12 papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. They are organized in the following topical sections: analysis and verification; modeling and logic; and model checking.
The aim of the FMICS workshop series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. In particular, these workshops are intended to bring together scientists and practitioners who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. These workshopsalso striveto promoteresearchand developmentfor the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications. The topics for which contributions to FMICS 2008 were solicited included, but were not restricted to, the following: – Design, speci?cation, code generation and testing based on formal methods – Veri?cation and validation of complex, distributed, real-time systems and embedded systems – Veri?cation and validation methods that address shortcomings of existing methods with respect to their industrial applicability (e. g. , scalability and usability issues) – Tools for the development of formal design descriptions – Case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of formal methods, focusing on lessons learned or identi?cation of new research - rections – Impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process and associated costs – Application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forums The workshop included six sessions of regular contributions in the areas of model checking, testing, software veri?cation, real-time performance, and ind- trial case studies. There were also three invited presentations, given by Steven Miller,Rance Cleaveland,and Werner Damm, coveringthe applicationof formal methods in the avionics and automotive industries.
