This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Logic Programming, ICLP 2008, held in Udine, Italy, in December 2008. The 35 revised full papers together with 2 invited talks, 2 invited tutorials, 11 papers of the co-located first Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms (ASPOCP 2008), as well as 26 poster presentations and the abstracts of 11 doctoral consortium articles were carefully reviewed and selected from 177 initial submissions. The papers cover all issues of current research in logic programming - they are organized in topical sections on applications, algorithms, systems, and implementations, semantics and foundations, analysis and transformations, CHRs and extensions, implementations and systems, answer set programming and extensions, as well as constraints and optimizations.
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...
This Festschrift is dedicated to Thomas A. Henzinger on the occasion of his 60th birthday in 2022. This Festschrift volume celebrates his many contributions in the field of computer science, with 31 papers covering various research and application directions, authored by scientists inspired by his efforts and example over many years.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Computational Methods in Systems Biology, CMSB 2020, held in Konstanz, Germany, in September 2020.* The 17 full papers and 5 tool papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. In addition 3 abstracts of invited talks and 2 tutorials have been included in this volume. Topics of interest include formalisms for modeling biological processes; models and their biological applications; frameworks for model verification, validation, analysis, and simulation of biological systems; high-performance computational systems biology and parallel implementations; model inference from experimental data; model integration from biological databases; multi-scale modeling and analysis methods; computational approaches for synthetic biology; and case studies in systems and synthetic biology. * The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This book, by leading scholars, represents some of the main work in progress in biolinguistics. It offers fresh perspectives on language evolution and variation, new developments in theoretical linguistics, and insights on the relations between variation in language and variation in biology. The authors address the Darwinian questions on the origin and evolution of language from a minimalist perspective, and provide elegant solutions to the evolutionary gap between human language and communication in all other organisms. They consider language variation in the context of current biological approaches to species diversity - the 'evo-devo revolution' - which bring to light deep homologies betw...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation Systems, QEST 2022, held in Warsaw, Poland, in September 2022. The 19 full papers presented together with 1 keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topics: program analysis; parameter synthesis; markovian agents and population models; dynamical systems; tools; applications and automata theory; and applications.
This open access book constitutes the proceedings of the 28th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2022, which was held during April 2-7, 2022, in Munich, Germany, as part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2022. The 46 full papers and 4 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 159 submissions. The proceedings also contain 16 tool papers of the affiliated competition SV-Comp and 1 paper consisting of the competition report. TACAS is a forum for researchers, developers, and users interested in rigorously based tools and algorithms for the construction and analysis of systems. The conference aims to bridge the gaps between different communities with this common interest and to support them in their quest to improve the utility, reliability, exibility, and efficiency of tools and algorithms for building computer-controlled systems.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Quantitative Evaluation Systems, QEST 2020, held in Vienna, Austria, in August/September 2020. The 12 full papers presented together with 7 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers cover topics such as classic measures involving performance and reliability, quantification of properties that are classically qualitative, such as safety, correctness, and security as well as analytic studies, diversity in the model formalisms and methodologies employed, and development of new formalisms and methodologies.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems, FORMATS 2014, held in Florence, Italy, in September 2014. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 36 submissions. The papers cover topics of foundations and semantics; comparison between different models, such as timed automata, timed Petri nets, hybrid automata, timed process algebra, max-plus algebra, probabilistic models; methods and tools for analyzing timed systems and resolving temporal constraints; applications in real-time software, hardware circuits, and problems of scheduling in manufacturing and telecommunication.
