This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, VMCAI 2004, held in Venice, Italy in January 2004. The 22 revised full papers presented together with 4 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from 68 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on security, formal methods, model checking, software checking, liveness and completeness, and miscellaneous.
This volume contains the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE-20). It was held July 22–27, 2005 in Tallinn, Estonia...
An approach to software design that introduces a fully automated analysis giving designers immediate feedback, now featuring the latest version of the Alloy language. In Software Abstractions Daniel Jackson introduces an approach to software design that draws on traditional formal methods but exploits automated tools to find flaws as early as possible. This approach—which Jackson calls “lightweight formal methods” or “agile modeling”—takes from formal specification the idea of a precise and expressive notation based on a tiny core of simple and robust concepts but replaces conventional analysis based on theorem proving with a fully automated analysis that gives designers immediate feedback. Jackson has developed Alloy, a language that captures the essence of software abstractions simply and succinctly, using a minimal toolkit of mathematical notions. This revised edition updates the text, examples, and appendixes to be fully compatible with Alloy 4.
Transactional memory (TM) is an appealing paradigm for concurrent programming on shared memory architectures. With a TM, threads of an application communicate, and synchronize their actions, via in-memory transactions. Each transaction can perform any number of operations on shared data, and then either commit or abort. When the transaction commits, the effects of all its operations become immediately visible to other transactions; when it aborts, however, those effects are entirely discarded. Transactions are atomic: programmers get the illusion that every transaction executes all its operations instantaneously, at some single and unique point in time. Yet, a TM runs transactions concurrent...
Many applications, including computer vision, computer arithmetic, deep learning, entanglement in quantum information, graph theory and energy networks, can be successfully tackled within the framework of polynomial optimization, an emerging field with growing research efforts in the last two decades. One key advantage of these techniques is their ability to model a wide range of problems using optimization formulations. Polynomial optimization heavily relies on the moment-sums of squares (moment-SOS) approach proposed by Lasserre, which provides certificates for positive polynomials. On the practical side, however, there is 'no free lunch' and such optimization methods usually encompass sev...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Formal Methods, FM 2012, held in Paris, France, in August 2012. The 28 revised full papers presented together with 7 tool papers and 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover several aspects of formal methods, including verification, synthesis, runtime monitoring, testing and controller synthesis, as well as novel applications of formal methods in interesting domains such as satellites, autonomous vehicles and disease dynamics.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, VMCAI 2010, held in Madrid, Spain, in January 2010. The 21 papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 57 submissions. In addition 3 invited talks and 3 invited tutorials are presented. Topics covered by VMCAI include program verification, program certification, model checking, debugging techniques, abstract interpretation, abstract domains, static analysis, type systems, deductive methods, and optimization.
This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Theorem Proving in Higher Order Logics (TPHOLs 2004) held September 14–17, 2004 in Park City, Utah, USA. TPHOLs covers all aspects of theorem proving in higher-order logics as well as related topics in theorem proving and veri?cation. There were 42 papers submitted to TPHOLs 2004 in the full research ca- gory, each of which was refereed by at least 3 reviewers selected by the program committee. Of these submissions, 21 were accepted for presentation at the c- ference and publication in this volume. In keeping with longstanding tradition, TPHOLs 2004 also o?ered a venue for the presentation of work in progress, ...
The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, VMCAI 2007, held in San Francisco, USA, in January 2008. The 21 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures and 2 invited tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of over 60 submissions. The papers feature current research from the communities of verification, program certification, model checking, debugging techniques, abstract interpretation, abstract domains, static analysis, cross-fertilization, and advancement of hybrid methods.
ETAPS 2005 was the eighth 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 conf- ences. This year it comprised ?ve conferences (CC, ESOP, FASE, FOSSACS, TACAS), 17 satellite workshops (AVIS, BYTECODE, CEES, CLASE, CMSB, COCV, FAC, FESCA, FINCO, GCW-DSE, GLPL, LDTA, QAPL, SC, SLAP, TGC, UITP), seven invited lectures (not including those that were speci?c to the satellite events), and several tutorials. We received over 550 submissions to the ?ve conferences this year, giving acceptance rates below 30% for each one. Congratulations to all the authors who ...
