This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2012, held in Paris, France, in August 2012. The 14 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The aim of the FMICS workshop series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. It also strives to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th East European Conference on Advances in Databases and Information Systems, ADBIS 2001, held in Vilnius, Lithuania, in September 2001. The 25 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper and two abstracts of invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on query optimization, multimedia and multilingual information systems, spatiotemporal aspects of databases, data mining, transaction processing, conceptual modeling and information systems specification, active databases, query methods, XML, and information systems design.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed conference proceedings of the 18th International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2013, held in Madrid, Spain, in September 2013. The 13 papers presented were carefully selected from 25 submissions and cover topics such as design, specification, code generation and testing based on formal methods, methods, techniques and tools to support automated analysis, certification, debugging, learning, optimization and transformation of complex, distributed, dependable, real-time systems and embedded systems, verification and validation methods, tools for the development of formal design descriptions, case studies and experience reports on industrial applications of formal methods, impact of the adoption of formal methods on the development process and associated costs, application of formal methods in standardization and industrial forums.
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER '98, held in Singapore, in November 1998. The 32 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 95 submissions. The book is divided into chapters on conceptual modeling and design, user interface modeling, information retrieval on the Web, semantics and constraints, conceptual modeling tools, quality and reliability metrics, industrial experience in conceptual modeling, object-oriented database management systems, data warehousing, industrial case studies, object-oriented approaches.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2018, held in Oxford, UK, in July 2018. The 44 full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions. They present formal methods for developing and evaluating systems. Examples include autonomous systems, robots, and cyber-physical systems in general. The papers cover a broad range of topics in the following areas: interdisciplinary formal methods; formal methods in practice; tools for formal methods; role of formal methods in software systems engineering; and theoretical foundations.
In this book the author explains domain engineering and the underlying science, and he then shows how we can derive requirements prescriptions for computing systems from domain descriptions. A further motivation is to present domain descriptions, requirements prescriptions, and software design specifications as mathematical quantities. The author's maxim is that before software can be designed we must understand its requirements, and before requirements can be prescribed we must analyse and describe the domain for which the software is intended. He does this by focusing on what it takes to analyse and describe domains. By a domain we understand a rationally describable discrete dynamics segm...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems, FMICS 2018, held in Maynooth, Ireland, in September 2018. The 9 regular papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 17 submissions. The book also contains two invited talks in full-paper length. In addition, there are 8 invited contributions in honor of Susanne Graf (Director of Research at VERIMAG Grenoble, France) on the occasion of her 60th birthday. The aim of the FMICS conference series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. In particular, FMICS brings together scientists and engineers who are active in the area of formal methods and interested in exchanging their experiences in the industrial usage of these methods. The FMICS conference series also strives to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications.
ETAPS 2001 is the fourth instance of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. ETAPS is an annual federated conference that was established in 1998 by combining a number of existing and new conferences. This year it comprises ve conferences (FOSSACS, FASE, ESOP, CC, TACAS), ten satellite workshops (CMCS, ETI Day, JOSES, LDTA, MMAABS, PFM, RelMiS, UNIGRA, WADT, WTUML), seven invited lectures, a debate, and ten tutorials. The events that comprise ETAPS address various aspects of the system - velopment process, including speci cation, design, implementation, analysis and improvement. The languages, methodologies and tools which support these - tivities are all well within its scope. Di erent blends of theory and practice are represented, with an inclination towards theory with a practical motivation on one hand and soundly-based practice on the other. Many of the issues involved in software design apply to systems in general, including hardware systems, and the emphasis on software is not intended to be exclusive.
Databases and database systems in particular, are considered as kerneIs of any Information System (IS). The rapid growth of the web on the Internet has dramatically increased the use of semi-structured data and the need to store and retrieve such data in a database. The database community quickly reacted to these new requirements by providing models for semi-structured data and by integrating database research to XML web services and mobile computing. On the other hand, IS community who never than before faces problems of IS development is seeking for new approaches to IS design. Ontology based approaches are gaining popularity, because of a need for shared conceptualisation by different sta...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Joint 21st International Workshop on Formal Methods for Industrial Critical Systems and the 16th International Workshop on Automated Verification of Critical Systems, FMICS-AVoCS 2016, held in Pisa, Italy, in September 2016.The 11 full papers and 4 short papers presented together with one invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 24 submissions. They are organized in the following sections: automated verification techniques; model-based system analysis; and applications and case studies.
