This book is dedicated to Professor Martin Wirsing on the occasion of his emeritation from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Germany. The volume is a reflection, with gratitude and admiration, on Professor Wirsing’s life highly creative, remarkably fruitful and intellectually generous life. It also gives a snapshot of the research ideas that in many cases have been deeply influenced by Professor Wirsing’s work. The book consists of six sections. The first section contains personal remembrances and expressions of gratitude from friends of Professor Wirsing. The remaining five sections consist of groups of scientific papers written by colleagues and collaborators of Professor Wirsing, which have been grouped and ordered according to his scientific evolution. More specifically, the papers are concerned with logical and algebraic foundations; algebraic specifications, institutions and rewriting; foundations of software engineering; service oriented systems; and adaptive and autonomic systems.
The papers in this volume accepted for the conference on foundations of software technology and theoretical computer science project research results in - Algorithmics: design and analysis of graph, geometric, algebraic and VLSI algorithms; data structures; average analysis; complexity theory; parallel parsing. - Concurrency: algebraic semantics, event structures. - Logic programming: algebraic properties, semantics. - Software technology: program transformations, algebraic methods. These results together with the formal techniques employed to present them reflect current trends pursued by leading research groups around the world. The papers treat their topics in depth by carefully reviewing existing results, developing and demonstrating new techniques and suggesting further directions for research.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 24th IFIP WG 1.3 International Workshop on Algebraic Development Techniques, WADT 2018, held in Egham, UK in July 2018. The 9 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 13 submissions. The contributed presentations covered a range of topics: specification and modelling languages such as CASL, Event-B, Maude, MMT, and SRML; foundations of system specification such as graph transformation, categorical semantics, fuzzy and temporal logics, institutions, module systems and parameterization, refinement, static analysis, and substitutions; and applications including categorical programming, communicating finite state machines, neuralsymbolicintegration, relational databases, and service-oriented computing.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 20th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, ICTAC 2023, which took place in Lima, Peru, during December 4–8, 2023. The 20 full papers presented in this volume together with 3 invited papers and 1 tool paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. They were organised in the topical sections as follows: Bring Together Practitioners; Researchers from Academia; Industry; Government to Present Research Results and Exchange Experience and Ideas.
This volume contains papers presented at UTP 2019, the 7th International Symposium on Unifying Theories of Programming, held in Porto, Portugal, on the 8th of October 2019. This edition of the UTP symposium is in honor of Sir Tony Hoare, on the occasion of his 85th birthday. The papers contained in this volume were invited, and friendly refereed, original contributions sought from the UTP community. One of the papers is from the distinguished invited speaker Tony Hoare himself. Nine other additional papers compose this volume, covering several aspects of Unifying Theories of Programming.
Examines the nature and value of community and culture from a liberal viewpoint, and links the theories under discussion to more familiar liberal views on individual rights and state neutrality.
This book reflects the paradigm shift now manifesting in Bangladesh’s education system by highlighting recent empirical research. It shares essential insights by presenting research conducted on diverse aspects of current day education in Bangladesh, including policy and governance, equity, access and participation, curriculum and pedagogy, assessment, and education programs and projects run by NGOs. Further, it offers a platform for these unique studies to be showcased and disseminated to scholars and researchers from developing and developed countries alike, and represents a unique reference resource for the education research community in Bangladesh, Asia and all over the world. With Foreword from Professor Serajul Islam Choudhury.
The book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Relational Methods in Computer Science, RelMiCS 2008, and the 5th International Conference on Applications of Kleene Algebras, AKA 2008, held in Manchester, UK in April 2008. The 26 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers describe the calculus of relations and similar algebraic formalisms as methodological and conceptual tools with special focus on formal methods for software engineering, logics of programs and links to neighbouring disciplines. Their scope comprises relation algebra, fixpoint calculi, semiring theory, iteration algebras, process algebras and dynamic algebras. Applications include formal algebraic modeling, the semantics, analysis and development of programs, formal language theory and combinatorial optimization.
This Festschrift is published in honor of Kim Guldstrand Larsen, one of the earliest precursors of computer science in Denmark, on the occasion of his 60th birthday. During the last three decades, Kim Guldstrand Larsen has given major contributions across a remarkably wide range of topics, including real-time, concurrent, and probabilistic models of computation, logic in computer science, and model checking. Since 1995, he has been one of the prime movers behind the model checking tool for real-time systems UPPAAL, for which he was a co-recipient of the CAV Award in 2013. The Festschrift contains 32 papers that feature the broad range of Kim Guldstrand Larsen's research topics, such as formal languages and automata theory; logic; verification, model checking and testing; algorithmic game theory and mechanism design; semantics and reasoning; real-time and distributed systems; and modeling and simulation.
