Foundations of Computer Software: Future Trends and Techniques for Development
This book presents the thoroughly refereed and revised proceedings of the 15th Monterey Workshop, held in Budapest, Hungary, September 24-26, 2008. The theme of the workshop was Foundations of Computer Software, Future Trends and Techniques for Development. The 13 revised full papers presented at the workshop explore, how the foundations and development techniques of computer software could be adapted to address such a challenge. Material presented in the papers spans the whole software life cycle, starting from specification and analysis, design and the choice of architectures, large scale, real-world software development, code generation and configuration, deployment, and evolution.
Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology
The AMAST movement was initiated in 1989 with the First International C- ference on Algebraic Methodology and Software Technology (AMAST), held on May 21{23in Iowa City, Iowa,and aimed at setting the development of software technology on a mathematical basis. The virtue of the software technology en- sioned by AMAST is the capability to produce software that has the following properties: (a) it is correct and its correctness can be proved mathematically, (b) it is safe, such that it can be used in the implementation of critical systems, (c) it is portable, i. e. , it is independent of computing platforms and language generations, and (d) it is evolutionary, i. e. , it is self-adaptable and evolves with the problem domain. Ten years later a myriad of workshops, conferences, and researchprogramsthat sharethe goalsof the AMAST movementhaveoccurred. This can be taken as proof that the AMAST vision is right. However, often the myriad of workshops, conferences, and research programs lack the clear obj- tives and the coordination of their goals towards the software technology en- sioned by AMAST. This can be taken as a proof that AMAST is still necessary.
Formal Methods and Software Engineering
Formal engineering methods are changing the way that software systems are - veloped.Withlanguageandtoolsupport,theyarebeingusedforautomaticcode generation, and for the automatic abstraction and checking of implementations. In the future, they will be used at every stage of development: requirements, speci?cation, design, implementation, testing, and documentation. The ICFEM series of conferences aims to bring together those interested in the application of formal engineering methods to computer systems. Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and government, are encouraged to attend,andtohelpadvancethestateoftheart.Authorsarestronglyencouraged to make their ideas as accessibl...
Decoding Liberation
Software is more than a set of instructions for computers: it enables (and disables) political imperatives and policies. Nowhere is the potential for radical social and political change more apparent than in the practice and movement known as "free software." Free software makes the knowledge and innovation of its creators publicly available. This liberation of code—celebrated in free software’s explicatory slogan "Think free speech, not free beer"—is the foundation, for example, of the Linux phenomenon. Decoding Liberation provides a synoptic perspective on the relationships between free software and freedom. Focusing on five main themes—the emancipatory potential of technology, social liberties, the facilitation of creativity, the objectivity of computing as scientific practice, and the role of software in a cyborg world—the authors ask: What are the freedoms of free software, and how are they manifested? This book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how free software promises to transform not only technology but society as well.
Perspectives on Free and Open Source Software
Leading Free and Open Source software researchers and analysts consider the status of the open source revolution and its effect on industry and society.
Leveraging Applications of Formal Methods, Verification, and Validation
This volume contains the conference proceedings of the 4th International S- posium on Leveraging Applications of Formal Methods, Veri?cation and Vali- tion, ISoLA 2010, which was held in Greece (Heraklion, Crete) October 18–21, 2010, and sponsored by EASST. Following the tradition of its forerunners in 2004, 2006, and 2008 in Cyprus and Chalchidiki, and the ISoLA Workshops in Greenbelt (USA) in 2005, in Poitiers (France) in 2007, and in Potsdam (Germany) in 2009, ISoLA 2010 p- vided a forum for developers, users, and researchers to discuss issues related to the adoption and use of rigorous tools and methods for the speci?cation, ana- sis, veri?cation, certi?cation, construction, testing, a...
Computer Safety, Reliability, and Security
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 39th International Conference on Computer Safety, Reliability and Security, SAFECOMP 2020, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in September 2020.* The 27 full and 2 short papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 116 submissions. They were organized in topical sections named: safety cases and argumentation; formal verification and analysis; security modelling and methods; assurance of learning-enabled systems; practical experience and tools; threat analysis and risk mitigation; cyber-physical systems security; and fault injection and fault tolerance. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter ‘Assurance Argument Elements for Off-the-Shelf, Complex Computational Hardware’ is available open access under an Open Government License 3.0 via link.springer.com.
Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis
It was our great pleasure to hold the 2nd International Symposium onAutomated Te- nology on Veri?cation and Analysis (ATVA) in Taipei, Taiwan, ROC, October 31- November3,2004. TheseriesofATVAmeetingsisintendedforthepromotionofrelated research in eastern Asia. In the last decade, automated technology on veri?cation has become the new strength in industry and brought forward various hot research activities in both Europe and USA. In comparison, easternAsia has been quiet in the forum. With more and more IC design houses moving from SiliconValley to easternAsia, we believe this is a good time to start cultivating related research activities in the region.

This book is Open Access under a CC BY licence. This book constitutes the proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering, FASE 2019, which took place in Prague, Czech Republic in April 2019, held as Part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2019.The 24 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 94 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: software verification; model-driven development and model transformation; software evolution and requirements engineering; specification, design, and implementation of particular classes of systems; and software testing.
FME 2003: Formal Methods
ThisvolumecontainstheproceedingsofFM2003,the12thInternationalFormal Methods Europe Symposium which was held in Pisa, Italy on September 8–14, 2003. Formal Methods Europe (FME, www. fmeurope. org) is an independent - sociation which aims to stimulate the use of and research on formal methods for system development. FME conferences began with a VDM Europe symposium in 1987. Since then, the meetings have grown and have been held about once - ery 18 months. Throughout the years the symposia have been notably successful in bringing together researchers, tool developers, vendors, and users, both from academia and from industry. Unlike previous symposia in the series, FM 2003 was not given a spec...
