This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Electronic Voting, E-Vote-ID 2020, held online -due to COVID -19- in Bregenz, Austria, in October 2020.

This book presents reflections on the occasion of 20 years on the KeY project that focuses on deductive software verification.Since the inception of the KeY project two decades ago, the area of deductive verification has evolved considerably.

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.

Static analysis of software with deductive methods is a highly dynamic field of research on the verge of becoming a mainstream technology in software engineering.

This volume contains the research papers presented at the International C- ference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX2005)heldSeptember14-17,2005inKoblenz,Germany.Thisc- ference was the fourteenth in a series of internationalmeetings since 1992(listed on page IX). It was part of the International Conference Summer Koblenz 2005, which included conferences covering a broad spectrum of topics and intere- ing ?elds of application for tableau-based methods: arti?cial intelligence (KI), multi-agent systems (MATES), automated reasoning and knowledge represen- tion (FTP), and software engineering and formal methods (SEFM). The Program Committee of TABLEAUX 2005 received 46 submissions from 16 countries. After each paper was reviewed by three referees, and an intensive discussion on the borderline papers was held during the online meeting of the ProgramCommittee,18researchpapersand7systemdescriptionswereaccepted based on originality, technical soundness, presentation, and relevance. I wish to sincerely thank all the authors who submitted their work for consideration.And I would like to thank the Program Committee members and other referees for theirgreate?ortandprofessionalworkinthereviewandselectionprocess.Their names are listed on the following pages. In addition to the contributed papers, the program included four excellent keynotetalks.IamgratefultoProf.DiegoCalvanese(FreeUniversityofBolzano, Italy), Prof. Ian Horrocks (University of Manchester, UK), Prof. Hans Jur .. gen Ohlbach (Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich, Germany), and Prof. Erik Rosenthal (University of New Haven, USA) for accepting the invitation to - dress the conference.

The ultimate goal of program verification is not the theory behind the tools or the tools themselves, but the application of the theory and tools in the software engineering process. Our society relies on the correctness of a vast and growing amount of software. Improving the software engineering process is an important, long-term goal with many steps. Two of those steps are the KeY tool and this KeY book. The material is presented on an advanced level suitable for graduate courses and, of course, active researchers with an interest in verification. The underlying verification paradigm is deductive verification in an expressive program logic. The logic used for reasoning about programs is not a minimalist version suitable for theoretical investigations, but an industrial-strength version. The first-order part is equipped with a type system for modelling of object hierarchies, with underspecification, and with various built-in theories. The program logic covers full Java Card (plus a bit more such as multi-dimensional arrays, characters, and long integers).A lot of emphasis is thereby put on specification, including two widely-used object-oriented specification languages (OCL and JML) and even an interface to natural language generation.The generation of proof obligations from specified code is discussed at length. The book is rounded off by two substantial case studies that are included and presented in detail.

This volume contains the research papers, invited papers, and abstracts of - torials presented at the Second International Conference on Tests and Proofs (TAP 2008) held April 9–11, 2008 in Prato, Italy. TAP was the second conference devoted to the convergence of proofs and tests. It combines ideas from both areasfor the advancement of softwarequality. To provethe correctnessof a programis to demonstrate, through impeccable mathematical techniques, that it has no bugs; to test a programis to run it with the expectation of discovering bugs. On the surface, the two techniques seem contradictory: if you have proved your program, it is fruitless to comb it for bugs; and if you are testing it, that is surely a sign that you have given up on anyhope of proving its correctness.Accordingly,proofs and tests have,since the onset of software engineering research, been pursued by distinct communities using rather di?erent techniques and tools. And yet the development of both approaches leads to the discovery of c- mon issues and to the realization that each may need the other. The emergence of model checking has been one of the ?rst signs that contradiction may yield to complementarity, but in the past few years an increasing number of research e?orts have encountered the need for combining proofs and tests, dropping e- lier dogmatic views of their incompatibility and taking instead the best of what each of these software engineering domains has to o?er.

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.
