In 1987, The University of Texas at Austin sponsored the Year of Programming, which consisted of six institutes on selected topics in computer programming. Leading scientists and practitioners were invited from around the world for lectures and tutorials, for discussion and collaboration. The general objectives of these institutes were to advance the art and science of programming and to disseminate the best of what is known about programming theory and practice.
Emerging scientific and industrial applications in today’s world require significant computing power. Modern software tools are available for such platforms but are relatively complex and require the use of innovative programming models. One promising area in modern software design is the development, analysis, and implementation of algorithms and adaptive methods. These advancements in programming are promising but lack relevant research and understanding. Formal and Adaptive Methods for Automation of Parallel Programs Construction: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential reference source that solves the problem of the development of efficient models, methods, and tools for parallel programming automation based on the algebra of algorithms, term rewriting, and auto-tuning paradigms. The results of this book will help to further develop and improve existing research on design, synthesis, and optimization of sequential and parallel algorithms and programs. Featuring research on topics such as auto-tuning methods, graphics processing, and algorithmic language, this book is ideally designed for mathematicians, software engineers, data scientists, researchers, academicians, and students seeking coverage on developing tools for automated design and parallel programs.
In software engineering there is a growing need for formalization as a basis for developing powerful computer assisted methods. This volume contains seven extensive lectures prepared for a series of IFIP seminars on the Formal Description of Programming Concepts. The authors are experts in their fields and have contributed substantially to the state of the art in numerous publications. The lectures cover a wide range in the theoretical foundations of programming and give an up-to-date account of the semantic models and the related tools which have been developed in order to allow a rigorous discussion of the problems met in the construction of correct programs. In particular, methods for the specification and transformation of programs are considered in detail. One lecture is devoted to the formalization of concurrency and distributed systems and reflects their great importance in programming. Further topics are the verification of programs and the use of sophisticated type systems in programming. This compendium on the theoretical foundations of programming is also suitable as a textbook for special seminars on different aspects of this broad subject.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 25th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2023, which took place in Lübeck, Germany, in March 2023. The 26 full paper, 2 short papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected rom 95 submissions. They have been organized in topical sections as follows: SAT/SMT; Verification; Quantitative Verification; Concurrency and Memory Models; Formal Methods in AI; Safety and Reliability. The proceedings also contain 3 keynote talks and 7 papers from the industry day.
This is a gently-paced software engineering text that concentrates on the use of formal methods for the development of high integrity software. It assumes no previous knowledge of formal methods, and presents a practical and comprehensive treatment of the subject suitable for second and third year undergraduates on computing courses, and students on taught master's courses. The book is packed with examples and exercises throughout.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2021, held virtually in November 2021. The 43 full papers presented together with 4 invited presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 131 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: Invited Presentations. - Interactive Theorem Proving, Neural Networks & Active Learning, Logics & Theory, Program Verification I, Hybrid Systems, Program Verification II, Automata, Analysis of Complex Systems, Probabilities, Industry Track Invited Papers, Industry Track, Divide et Impera: Efficient Synthesis of Cyber-Physical System.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 34th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Techniques for Distributed Objects, Components and Systems, FORTE 2014, held in Berlin, Germany, in June 2014, as part of the 9th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques, DisCoTec 2014. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 50 submissions. The papers present a wide range of topics on specification languages and type systems, monitoring and testing, security analysis and bisimulation, abstraction and reduction.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on NASA Formal Methods, NFM 2017, held in Moffett Field, CA, USA, in May 2017. The 23 full and 8 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 77 submissions. The papers focus on formal techniques and other approaches for software assurance, their theory, current capabilities and limitations, as well as their potential application to aerospace, robotics, and other NASA-relevant safety-critical systems during all stages of the software life-cycle.
