This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 22nd IFIP WG 6. 1 International Conference on Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems, FORTE 2002, held in Houston, Texas, USA in November 2002. The 22 revised full papers, 2 tool papers, and 2 posters presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 61 submissions. All current aspects of formal method for distributed systems and communication protocols are addressed, in particular formal specification, testing, and verification of such systems.

This book gives a broad overview of core topics of finite model theory: expressive power, descriptive complexity, and zero-one laws, together with selected applications to database theory and artificial intelligence, especially constraint databases and constraint satisfaction problems. The final chapter provides a concise modern introduction to modal logic, which emphasizes the continuity in spirit and technique with finite model theory. This underlying spirit involves the use of various fragments of, and hierarchies within, first order, second order, fixed point, and infinitary logics to gain insight into phenomena in complexity theory and combinatorics. Students of logic and computer science will find here the tools necessary to embark on research in finite model theory, and all readers will experience the excitement of a vibrant area of application of logic to computer science.

This volume presents the proceedings of the 1995 International Conference on Database Theory, ICDT '95, held in Prague in January 1995.Besides two full invited papers and the abstracts of two tutorials, the book includes the revised full versions of 29 technical contributions selected from a total of 116 submissions. The papers address all current aspects of database theory; they are organized in sections on optimization, nonmonotonic semantics, query languages, concurrency control, advanced models, probabilistic methods, constraints and dependencies, and Datalog analysis.

Finite model theory,as understoodhere, is an areaof mathematicallogic that has developed in close connection with applications to computer science, in particular the theory of computational complexity and database theory. One of the fundamental insights of mathematical logic is that our understanding of mathematical phenomena is enriched by elevating the languages we use to describe mathematical structures to objects of explicit study. If mathematics is the science of patterns, then the media through which we discern patterns, as well as the structures in which we discern them, command our attention. It isthis aspect oflogicwhichis mostprominentin model theory,“thebranchof mathematical logic which deals with the relation between a formal language and its interpretations”. No wonder, then, that mathematical logic, and ?nite model theory in particular, should ?nd manifold applications in computer science: from specifying programs to querying databases, computer science is rife with phenomena whose understanding requires close attention to the interaction between language and structure. This volume gives a broadoverviewof some central themes of ?nite model theory: expressive power, descriptive complexity, and zero–one laws, together with selected applications to database theory and arti?cial intelligence, es- cially constraint databases and constraint satisfaction problems. The ?nal chapter provides a concise modern introduction to modal logic,which emp- sizes the continuity in spirit and technique with ?nite model theory.
