Logical Structures for Representation of Knowledge and Uncertainty
It is the business of science not to create laws, but to discover them. We do not originate the constitution of our own minds, greatly as it may be in our power to modify their character. And as the laws of the human intellect do not depend upon our will, so the forms of science, of (1. 1) which they constitute the basis, are in all essential regards independent of individual choice. George Boole [10, p. llJ 1. 1 Comparison with Traditional Logic The logic of this book is a probability logic built on top of a yes-no or 2-valued logic. It is divided into two parts, part I: BP Logic, and part II: M Logic. 'BP' stands for 'Bayes Postulate'. This postulate says that in the absence of knowl edge ...
FM 2008: Formal Methods
This book presents the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2008, held in Turku, Finland in May 2008. The 23 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited contributions and extended abstracts of 5 invited industrial presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 106 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on programming language analysis, verification, real-time and concurrency, grand chellenge problems, fm practice, runtime monitoring and analysis, communication, constraint analysis, and design.
Formal Methods for Components and Objects
This book constitutes revised lectures from the 11th Symposium on Formal Methods for Components and Object, FMCO 2012, held in Bertinoro, Italy, in September 2012. The 8 lectures featured in this volume are by world-renowned experts within the area of formal models for objects and components. The book provides a unique combination of ideas on software engineering and formal methods which reflect the expanding body of knowledge on modern software systems.
Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development
This book constitutes thoroughly revised and selected papers from the 5th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering and Software Development, MODELSWARD 2017, held in Porto, Portugal, in February 2017. The 20 thoroughly revised and extended papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 91 submissions. They contribute to the development of highly relevant research trends in model-driven engineering and software development such as methodologies for MDD development and exploitation, model-based testing, model simulation, domain-specific modeling, code generation from models, new MDD tools, multi-model management, model evolution, and industrial applications of model-based methods and technologies.
Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems, FMOODS 2006, held in Bologna, Italy, June 2006. The book presents 16 revised full papers together with an invited paper and abstracts of 2 invited talks. Coverage includes component- and model-based design, service-oriented computing, software quality, modeling languages implementation, formal specification, verification, validation, testing, and service-oriented systems.
Dependable Systems: Software, Computing, Networks
Modern civilization relies on a functioning information infrastructure. As a result, dependability has become a central issue in all disciplines of systems engineering and software architecture.Theories, methods and tools that help to master the problems encountered in the design process and the management of operations are therefore of utmost importance for the future of information and communication technology. The present volume documents the results of a research program on Dependable Information and Communication Systems (DICS). The members of the project met in two workshops organized by the Hasler Foundation. This state-of-the-art survey contains 3 overview articles identifying major issues of dependability and presenting the latest solutions, as well as 10 carefully selected and revised papers depicting the research results originating from those workshops. The first workshop took place in Münchenwiler, Switzerland, in March 2004, and the second workshop, which marked the conclusion of the projects, in Löwenberg, Switzerland, in October 2005. The papers are organized in topical sections on surveys, dependable software, dependable computing, and dependable networks.
Formal Techniques for Distributed Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems, FMOODS 2009, and 29th IFIP WG 6.1 Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems, FORTE 2009, held in Lisboa, Portugal, in June 2009. The 12 revised full papers presented together with 6 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 42 submissions. The papers cover topics such as formal verification, algorithms and implementations, modeling and testing, process algebra and calculus as well as analysis of distributed systems.
The Logic of Software. A Tasting Menu of Formal Methods
This Festschrift, dedicated to Reiner Hähnle on the occasion of his 60th birthday, contains papers written by many of his closest collaborators. After positions at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Chalmers University of Technology, since 2011 Reiner has been the chaired professor of Software Engineering at Technische Universität Darmstadt, where his team focuses on the formal verification of object-oriented software, the formal modeling and specification of highly adaptive software systems, and formal modeling and analysis in domains such as biological systems and railroad operations. His work is characterized by achievements in theory and in practical implementations, significant collaborations include the KeY project and the development of the ABS language. He has served as chair and editor of important related academic conferences, and coauthored almost 200 academic publications. The contributions in this volume reflect Reiner’s main research focus: formal methods, in particular applied to software verification.
Formal Verification of Object-Oriented Software
This book presents the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the International Conference on Formal Verification of Object-Oriented Software, FoVeOOS 2010, held in Paris, France, in June 2010 - organised by COST Action IC0701. The 11 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. Formal software verification has outgrown the area of academic case studies, and industry is showing serious interest. The logical next goal is the verification of industrial software products. Most programming languages used in industrial practice are object-oriented, e.g. Java, C++, or C#. FoVeOOS 2010 aimed to foster collaboration and interactions among researchers in this area.
CafeOBJ Report
This is a report on the formal definition of the CafeOBJ algebraic specification language, which is a modern successor to the famous algebraic language OBJ. While the equational core of CafeOBJ is just a reshaping of OBJ, CafeOBJ significantly extends OBJ by incorporating several recent major developments in the area of algebraic specification, such as behavioural specification and rewriting logic. The definition of the language parallels its logical semantics based on the so-called institutions, which also provide a methodological framework for structuring the presentation of the basic constructs of the language and their semantics. This report presents all the basic constructs of the language together with their semantics and addresses both the programming in-the-small and in-the-large levels. However, it also discusses proof systems and technologies, as well as methodologies. Examples are provided throughout the report as intuitive support for the definitions of the constructs and for illustrating proof techniques and methodologies.
