This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Rigorous State-Based Methods, ABZ 2024, held in Bergamo, Italy, during June 25–28, 2024. The 29 papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: research papers;

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Rigorous State-Based Methods, ABZ 2025, held in Düsseldorf, Germany, during June 10–13, 2025.The 10 full papers, 4 short papers, 2 PhD Symposium papers and 5 case study papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The proceedings also contain one invited talk in full paper length. The ABZ conference series is dedicated to the cross-fertilization of state-based and machine-based formal methods. Abstract State Machines (ASM), Alloy, B, TLA, VDM, and Z are examples of these methods. They share a common conceptual foundation and are widely used in both academia and industry for the rigorous design and analysis of hardware and software systems. The ABZ conferences aim to be a forum for the vital exchange of knowledge and experience among the research communities around different formal methods.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Integrated Formal Methods, IFM 2009, held in Düsseldorf, Germany in February 2009. The 21 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 55 submissions. The papers address the whole spectrum of integrated formal methods, ranging from formal and semiformal modelling notations, semantics, verification, refinement, model transformations to type systems, logics, tools and case studies.

All modern industries rely on large and complex software systems. In order toconstruct such large systems in a systematic manner, the focus of the developmentmethodologies has switched in the last two decades from functional to structuralissues. Formal methods have been applied successfully to the verification ofmedium-sized programs in protocol and hardware design. However, their applicationto the development of large systems requires a greater emphasis on specification,modeling, and validation techniques supporting the concepts of reusability andmodifiability, and their implementation in new extensions of existing programminglanguages like Java.This state-of-the-art survey presents the outcome of the 8th Symposium on FormalMethods for Components and Objects, held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, inNovember 2009. The volume contains 17 revised contributions submitted after thesymposium by speakers from each of the following European IST projects: theIST-FP6 project BIONETS on biologically inspired services evolution for thepervasive age; the IST-FP7 project COMPAS on compliance-driven models, languages,and architectures for services; the IST-FP6 project CREDO on modelling andanalysis of evolutionary structures for distributed services; the IST-FP7 DEPLOYon industrial deployment of advanced system engineering methods for highproductivity and dependability; the IST-FP7 project HATS on highly adaptable andtrustworthy software using formal methods; the IST-FP7 project INESS on integratedEuropean railway signalling system; the IST-FP7 project MOGENTES on model-basedgeneration of tests for dependable embedded systems; the IST-FP6 project PROTESTon property based testing; and the IST-FP7 project QUASIMODO on quantitativesystem properties in model-driven-design of embedded systems.
