This volume contains the proceedings of the fourthInternational Joint Conference on the Theory and Practice ofSoftware Development, TAPSOFT '93. Since the first in 1985,the aim of these conferences has been to bring togethertheoretical computer scientists and researchers in softwareengineering with a view to discussing how formal methods canusefully be applied in software development. TAPSOFT '93 consists ofthree parts: an advanced seminar,the Colloquium on Trees in Algebra and Programming (CAAP),and the Colloquium on Formal Approaches of SoftwareEngineering (FASE). The advanced seminar includes fourinvited surveys and four invited conferences. The selectedpapers for CAAP are organized in seven sessions:specifications and proofs, concurrency, automata andcounting, constraints solving, rewriting, logic and trees,analysis of algorithms, and a common session with FASE ontype inference.The selected papers for FASE are presentedin eight sessions: case studies in formal design anddevelopment, compositionality modules and development,formal development, foundations and analysis of formalspecifications, verification of concurrent systems, modelchecking, parallel calculus, and a common session with CAAPon type inference.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Third International Symposium of Formal Methods Europe, FME '96, held in Oxford, UK, in March 1996. FME '96 was co-sponsored by IFIP WG 14. 3 and devoted to "the application and demonstrated industrial benefit of formal methods, their new horizons and strengthened foundations". The 35 full revised papers included were selected from a total of 103 submissions; also included are three invited papers. The book addresses all relevant aspects of formal methods, from the point of view of the industrial R & D professional as well as from the academic viewpoint, and impressively documents the significant progress in the use of formal methods for the solution of real-world problems.

The now well-established series of International Colloquia on Theoretical - pects of Computing (ICTAC) brings together practitionersand researchersfrom academia, industry and government to present research results, and exchange experience and ideas. Beyond these scholarly goals, another main purpose is to promote cooperation in research and education between participants and their institutions, from developing and industrial countries. ThisvolumecontainsthepaperspresentedatICTAC2010.Itwasheldduring September 1-3 in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Therewere68submissionsbyauthorsfrom24countriesallaroundthe world. Each submission was reviewed by at least three, and on average four, Program Committee members and external reviewers. After extensive discussions, they decided to accept the 23 (regular) papers presented here. Authors of a selection of these papers were invited to submit an extended version of their work to a special issue of the Theoretical Computer Science journal. Seven of the papers were part of a special track including one paper on "F- mal Aspects of Software Testing", and six on the "Grand Challenge in Veri?ed Software."ThespecialtrackwasjointlyorganizedbyMarie-ClaudeGaudel,from the Universit' e de Paris-Sud, and Jim Woodcock, from the University of York.
