Engineering of Software
Software engineering research can trace its roots to a few highly influential individuals. Among that select group is Leon J. Osterweil, who has been a major force in driving software engineering from its infancy to its modern reality. For more than three decades, Prof. Osterweil's work has fundamentally defined or significantly impacted major directions in software analysis, development tools and environments, and software process--all critical parts of software engineering as it is practiced today. His exceptional contributions to the field have been recognized with numerous awards and honors through his career, including the ACM SIGSOFT Outstanding Research Award, in recognition of his ex...
Theoretical and Practical Aspects of SPIN Model Checking
Increasing the designer’s con dence that a piece of software or hardwareis c- pliant with its speci cation has become a key objective in the design process for software and hardware systems. Many approaches to reaching this goal have been developed, including rigorous speci cation, formal veri cation, automated validation, and testing. Finite-state model checking, as it is supported by the explicit-state model checkerSPIN,is enjoying a constantly increasingpopularity in automated property validation of concurrent, message based systems. SPIN has been in large parts implemented and is being maintained by Gerard Ho- mann, and is freely available via ftp fromnetlib.bell-labs.comor from URL ht...
Model Checking Software
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International SPIN workshop on Model Checking Software, SPIN 2004, held in Barcelona, Spain, in April 2004. The 19 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of an invited talk and 2 tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on heuristics and probabilities, improvements of SPIN, validation of timed systems, tool presentations, abstraction and symbolic methods, and applications.
Verification-based Software-fault Detection
Software is used in many safety- and security-critical systems. Software development is, however, an error-prone task. In this work new techniques for the detection of software faults (or software "bugs") are described which are based on a formal deductive verification technology. The described techniques take advantage of information obtained during verification and combine verification technology with deductive fault detection and test generation in a very unified way.
Component-Based Software Engineering
This is the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Component-Based Software Engineering, CBSE 2006, held in Västerås, Sweden in June/July 2006. The 22 revised full papers and 9 revised short papers presented cover issues concerned with the development of software-intensive systems from reusable parts, the development of reusable parts, and system maintenance and improvement by means of component replacement and customization.
Cooperative Bug Isolation
This monograph presents a new and fundamental approach to software analysis that will provide a source of ideas and inspiration for many years to come. It constitutes a thoroughly revised and extended version of the author's PhD thesis, which was selected as the winning thesis of the 2005 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Competition. Ben Liblit did his PhD work at the University of California, Berkeley, with Alexander Aiken as thesis adviser.
Obstructions in Security-Aware Business Processes
This Open Access book explores the dilemma-like stalemate between security and regulatory compliance in business processes on the one hand and business continuity and governance on the other. The growing number of regulations, e.g., on information security, data protection, or privacy, implemented in increasingly digitized businesses can have an obstructive effect on the automated execution of business processes. Such security-related obstructions can particularly occur when an access control-based implementation of regulations blocks the execution of business processes. By handling obstructions, security in business processes is supposed to be improved. For this, the book presents a framewo...
A Paradigm for Decentralized Process Modeling
A Paradigm for Decentralized Process Modeling presents a novel approach to decentralized process modeling that combines both trends and suggests a paradigm for decentralized PCEs, supporting concerted efforts among geographically-dispersed teams - each local individual or team with its own autonomous process - with emphasis on flexible control over the degree of collaboration versus autonomy provided. A key guideline in this approach is to supply abstraction mechanisms whereby pre-existing processes (or workflows) can be encapsulated and retain security of their internal artifacts and status data, while agreeing with other processes on formal interfaces through which all their interactions a...
Architecting Dependable Systems V
As software systems become ubiquitous, the issues of dependability become more and more crucial. Given that solutions to these issues must be considered from the very beginning of the design process, it is reasonable that dependability is addressed at the architectural level. This book was born of an effort to bring together the research communities of software architectures and dependability. This state-of-the-art survey contains expanded and peer-reviewed papers based on the carefully selected contributions to two workshops: the Workshop on Architecting Dependable Systems (WADS 2007), organized at the 2007 International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN 2007), held in Edin...
Composing Model-Based Analysis Tools
This book presents joint works of members of the software engineering and formal methods communities with representatives from industry, with the goal of establishing the foundations for a common understanding of the needs for more flexibility in model-driven engineering. It is based on the Dagstuhl Seminar 19481 „Composing Model-Based Analysis Tools“, which was held November 24 to 29, 2019, at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, where current challenges, their background and concepts to address them were discussed. The book is structured in two parts, and organized around five fundamental core aspects of the subject: (1) the composition of languages, models and analyses; (2) the integration and ...
