This Festschrift is in honor of Scott A. Smolka, Professor in the Stony Brook University, USA, on the occasion of his 65th birthday.Scott A. Smolka made fundamental research contributions in a number of areas, including process algebra, model checking, probabilistic processes, runtime verification, and the modeling and analysis of cardiac cells, neural circuits and flocking behaviors. He is perhaps best known for the algorithm he and Paris Kanellakis invented for checking bi-simulation. The title of this volume From Reactive Systems to Cyber-Physical Systems reflects Scott's main research focus throughout his career.It contains the papers written by his closest friends and collaborators. The contributions cover a wide spectrum of the topics related to Scott's research scientific interests, including model repair for probabilistic systems, runtime verification, model checking, cardiac dynamics simulation and machine learning.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Automated Technology for Verification and Analysis, ATVA 2020, held in Hanoi, Vietnam, in October 2020.The 27 regular papers presented together with 5 tool papers and 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 75 submissions.The symposium is dedicated to promoting research in theoretical and practical aspects of automated analysis, verification and synthesis by providing an international venue for the researchers to present new results. The papers focus on neural networks and machine learning; automata; logics; techniques for verification, analysis and testing; model checking and decision procedures; synthesis; and randomization and probabilistic systems.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Dependable Software Engineering: Theories, Tools, and Applications, SETTA 2017, held in Changsha, China, in October2017.The 19 full papers presented together with 3 invited talks  were carefully reviewed and selected from 31 submissions. The aim of the symposium is to bring together international researchers and practitioners in the field of software technology. Its focus is on probabilistic and statistical analysis; timed and hybrid systems; program analysis; modeling and verification; formalization; and tools.

Here are the refereed proceedings of the EUC 2006 workshops, held in conjunction with the IFIP International Conference on Embedded and Ubiquitous Computing in Seoul, Korea, August 2006. The book presents 102 revised papers spanning six workshops: network-centric ubiquitous systems (NCUS 2006), security in ubiquitous computing systems (SecUbiq 2006), RFID and ubiquitous sensor networks (USN 2006), trustworthiness, reliability and services in ubiquitous and sensor networks (TRUST 2006), embedded software optimization (ESO 2006), and multimedia solution and assurance in ubiquitous information systems (MSA 2006).

Runtime veri?cation is a recent direction in formal methods research, which is complementary to such well-established formal veri?cation methods as model checking. Research in runtime veri?cation deals with formal languages suitable for expressing system properties that are checkable at run time; algorithms for checking of formal properties over an execution trace; low-overhead means of extracting information from the running system that is su?cient for checking of the property. Applications of runtime veri?cation technology include po- deployment monitoring of system correctness and performance; construction of formally speci?ed test oracles; collection of statistics about system behavior, among others. The Workshop on Runtime Veri?cation was started in 2001 and has been held annually since then. The workshop was co-located with the Conference on Computer-Aided Veri?cation (CAV) in 2001–2003 and 2005–2006;and with the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS) in 2004. In 2007, the workshop was held on March 13, 2007 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, co-located to the Conference on Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) in order to explore the emerging connections between the two communities.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 13th International Monterey Workshop on Composition of Embedded Systems: Scientific and Industrial Issues, held in Paris, France, in October 2006. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from numerous submissions. The workshop discussed a range of challenges in embedded systems design that require further major advances in technology.

This volume contains revised and expanded versions of the papers presented at th the 15 Monterey Workshop, held during September 24-26, 2008 in Budapest, Hungary. The Monterey Workshops series was initiated in 1993 by Dr. David Hislop, a longtime program manager at the U. S. Army Research O?ce, with the purpose of exploring the critical problems associated with cost-e?ective development of high-qualitysoftwaresystems. During their 15-yearhistory,the MontereyWo- shops have brought together scientists that share a common interest in software development research serving practical advances in next-generation softwa- intensive systems. Each year is dedicated to a particular topic of critical - portance. In recent years, workshop topics were "Innovations for Requirement Analysis: From Stakeholders Needs to Formal Designs" (2007 in Monterey, C- ifornia), "Composition of Embedded Systems, Scienti?c and Industrial Issues" (2008inParis,France),"NetworkedSystems:RealizationofReliableSystemson Unreliable NetworkedPlatforms" (2005in Laguna Beach,California), "Software Engineering Tools: Compatibility and Integration"(2004 in Vienna, Austria), "Engineering for Embedded Systems: From Requirements to Implementation" (2003 in Chicago, Illinois), "Radical Innovations of Software and Systems En- neering in the Future" (2002 in Venice, Italy).The topic of the 2008 workshop was "Foundations of Computer Software, Future Trends and Techniques for Development. " Modern computer systems manage very large amounts of information, performing complex computations in a distributed way. At the same time, there is a need to display information in a way that aids human actors in the interpretation of this information and in decision making.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 2010 Runtime Veri?cation conf- ence (RV 2010), which was held in St. Julians, Malta on November 1-4, 2010. The conference program included a mix of invited talks and peer reviewed p- sentations, tutorials, and tool demonstrations. The 2010 Runtime Veri?cation conference was a forum for researchers and industrial practitioners to present theories and tools for monitoring and anal- ing system(softwareandhardware)executions,aswell asa forumfor presenting applications of such tools to practical problems. The ?eld of runtime veri?cation is often referred to under di?erent names, including dynamic analysis, runtime analysis, and runtime monitoring, to mention a few. Runtime veri?cation can be applied during the development of a system for the purpose of program - derstanding, debugging, and testing, or it can be applied as part of a running system, for example for security or safety policy monitoring, and can furth- more be part of a fault protection framework. A number of sub-?elds of runtime veri?cation have emerged over time, such as speci?cation languages and logics for execution analysis, dynamic analysis algorithms, program instrumentation, security monitoring, fault protection, speci?cation mining, and dynamic system visualization. Runtime veri?cationhas strong connections to other ?elds of c- puter science research, such as combinations of static and dynamic analysis, aspect-oriented programming, and model-based testing. Runtime Veri?cation events started with a workshop in 2001 and continued as an annual workshop series through 2009.
