Formal methods have been established as the rigorous engineering methodology for the system development. Applying formal methods to a large and complex system development often requires the modelling of different aspects of such a system. For instance, complex systems (such as integrated avionics systems, engine control software) can involve functional and timing requirements that must be eventually implemented as executing code on a communicating distributed topology. This book contains the papers presented at the First International Workshop on Integrated Formal Methods, held at the University of York in June 1999. The conference provided a forum for the discussion of theoretical aspects of combing behavioural and state-based formalisms and practical solutions to the industrial problems of this approach.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods, ICFEM 2012, held in Kyoto, Japan, November 2012.The 31 revised full papers together with 3 invited talks presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 85 submissions. The papers address all current issues in formal methods and their applications in software engineering. They are organized in topical sections on concurrency, applications of formal methods to new areas, quantity and probability, formal verification, modeling and development methodology, temporal logics, abstraction and refinement, tools, as well as testing and runtime verification.
