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 ...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods, ICFEM 2007, held in Boca Raton, Florida, USA, November 14-15, 2007. The 19 revised full papers together with two invited talks presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The papers address all current issues in formal methods and their applications in software engineering. The papers are organized in topical sections.
This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 9th International Symposium on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS 2012, held in Mountain View, CA, USA in September 2012. The 16 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They cover topics such as formal models for software components and their interaction; formal aspects of services, service oriented architectures, business processes, and cloud computing; design and verification methods for software components and services; composition and deployment: models, calculi, languages; formal methods and modeling languages for components and services; model based and GUI based testing of componen...
How are users influenced by social media platforms when they generate content, and does this influence affect users’ compliance with copyright laws? These are pressing questions in today’s internet age, and Regulating Content on Social Media answers them by analysing how the behaviours of social media users are regulated from a copyright perspective. Corinne Tan, an internet governance specialist, compares copyright laws on selected social media platforms, namely Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, Twitter and Wikipedia, with other regulatory factors such as the terms of service and the technological features of each platform. This comparison enables her to explore how each platform affects th...
This book constitutes the revised selected papers from the 12th International Conference on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS 2015, held in Niterói, Brazil, in October 2015. The 15 full papers and 2 invited papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. They are organized in topical sections, namely quality of service to withstand faults, component-based software development through research on mathematical models for components, composition and adaptation; rigorous approaches to verification, deployment, testing, and certification.
This Festschrift volume has been published in honor of Frank de Boer, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Frank S. de Boer is a prominent member of the research community in formal methods and theoretical computer science. A brief look at his lengthy publication list reveals a broad area of interest and a versatile modus operandi with: logic and constraint programming; deductive proof systems, soundness, and completeness; semantics, compositionality, and full abstraction; process algebra and decidability; multithreading and actor-based concurrency; agent programming, ontologies, and modal logic; real-time systems, timed automata, and schedulability; enterprise architectures, choreography, and coordination; testing and runtime monitoring; and cloud computing and service-level agreements. For a while, he also liked failures, especially in semantics, and optimistically concluded with the failure of failures. In fact, Frank has an opportunistic approach to research. Rather than seeing obstacles, he finds opportunities.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering, FSEN 2019, held in Tehran, Iran, in May 2019. The 14 full papers and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. The topics of interest in FSEN span over all aspects of formal methods, especially those related to advancing the application of formal methods in the software industry and promoting their integration with practical engineering techniques. The papers are organized in topical sections on agent based systems, theorem proving, learning, verification, distributed algorithms, and program analysis.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop, FTSCS 2013, held in Queenstown, New Zealand, in October 2013. The 17 revised full papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers address various topics related to the application of formal and semi-formal methods to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods, SEFM 2020, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in September 2020. The 16 full papers presented together with 1 keynote talk and an abstract of a keynote talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. The papers cover a large variety of topics, including testing, formal verification, program analysis, runtime verification, meta-programming and software development and evolution. The papers address a wide range of systems, such as IoT systems, human-robot interaction in healthcare scenarios, navigation of maritime autonomous systems, and operating systems. The Chapters "Multi-Purpose Syntax Definition with SDF3", “FRed: Conditional Model Checking via Reducers and Folders" and "Difference Verification with Conditions” are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages, COORDINATION 2005, held in Namur, Belgium in April 2005.
