  • Publisher: IOS Press

In the last few years we have all become daily users of Internet banking, social networks and cloud services. Preventing malfunctions in these services and protecting the integrity of private data from cyber attack are both current preoccupations of society at large. While modern technologies have dramatically improved the quality of software, the computer science community continues to address the problems of security by developing a theory of formal verification; a body of methodologies, algorithms and software tools for finding and eliminating bugs and security hazards. This book presents lectures delivered at the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) School Marktoberdorf 2015 – ‘Verifi...

Validation of Stochastic Systems

This tutorial volume presents a coherent and well-balanced introduction to the validation of stochastic systems; it is based on a GI/Dagstuhl research seminar. Supervised by the seminar organizers and volume editors, established researchers in the area as well as graduate students put together a collection of articles competently covering all relevant issues in the area. The lectures are organized in topical sections on: modeling stochastic systems, model checking of stochastic systems, representing large state spaces, deductive verification of stochastic systems.

Systems Biology Modelling and Analysis

Systems Biology Modelling and Analysis Describes important modelling and computational methods for systems biology research to enable practitioners to select and use the most suitable technique Systems Biology Modelling and Analysis provides an overview of state-of-the-art techniques and introduces related tools and practices to formalize models and automate reasoning for systems biology. The authors present and compare the main formal methods used in systems biology for modelling biological networks, including discussion of their advantages, drawbacks, and main applications. Each chapter includes an intuitive presentation of the specific formalism, a brief history of the formalism and of it...

The Art of Modelling Computational Systems: A Journey from Logic and Concurrency to Security and Privacy

​​This Festschrift was published in honor of Catuscia Palamidessi on the occasion of her 60th birthday. It features 6 laudations, which are available in the front matter of the volume, and 25 papers by close collaborators and friends. The papers are organized in topical sections named: concurrency; logic and constraint programming; security and privacy; and models and puzzles. These contributions are a tribute to Catuscia Palamidessi’s intellectual depth, vision, passion for science, and tenacity in solving technical problems. They also reflect the breadth and impact of her work. Her scientific interests include, in chronological order, principles of programming languages, concurrency theory, security, and privacy.

Information Theory and Stochastics for Multiscale Nonlinear Systems

This book introduces mathematicians to the fascinating mathematical interplay between ideas from stochastics and information theory and practical issues in studying complex multiscale nonlinear systems. It emphasizes the serendipity between modern applied mathematics and applications where rigorous analysis, the development of qualitative and/or asymptotic models, and numerical modeling all interact to explain complex phenomena. After a brief introduction to the emerging issues in multiscale modeling, the book has three main chapters. The first chapter is an introduction to information theory with novel applications to statistical mechanics, predictability, and Jupiter's Red Spot for geophys...
