This classroom-tested textbook provides an accessible introduction to the design, formal modeling, and analysis of distributed computer systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings from the 15th International Conference on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS 2018, held in Pohang, South Korea, in October 2018.The 14 full papers presented together with an invited abstract and an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. FACS 2016 is concerned with how formal methods can be used to make component-based and service-oriented software development succeed. Formal methods have provided a foundation for component-based software by successfully addressing challenging issues such as mathematical models for components, composition and adaptation, or rigorous approaches to verification, deployment, testing, and certification.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems, FTSCS 2018, held in Gold Coast, Australia in November 2018. The 10 revised full papers presented together with an abstract of an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions.

The papers cover a large variety of topics, including testing, formal verification, program analysis, runtime verification, malware and attack detection,and software development and evolution and address a wide range of systems, such as cyber-physical systems, UAVs, autonomous robots, and feature-oriented and operating systems.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, ICTAC 2021, organized by the Nazarbayev University, Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop, FTSCS 2013, held in Queenstown, New Zealand, in October 2013. The 17 revised full papers presented together with an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers address various topics related to the application of formal and semi-formal methods to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems, FTSCS 2014, held in Luxembourg, in November 2014. The 14 revised full papers presented together with two invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions. The papers address various topics related to the application of formal and semi-formal methods to improve the quality of safety-critical computer systems.

This Festschrift volume contains 28 refereed papers including personal memories, essays, and regular research papers by close collaborators and friends of José Meseguer to honor him on the occasion of his 65th birthday.

This book constitutes the revised selected papers fromthe 12th International Conference on Formal Aspects of Component Software, FACS2015, held in Niterói, Brazil, in October 2015. The 15 full papers and 2 invited papers presented in thisvolume were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems, FTSCS 2015, held in Paris, France, in November 2015.The 15 revised full papers presented together with one invited talk and two tool papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on timed systems; railway systems; fault tolerance; automotive systems; software and systems analysis; tools.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Formal Techniques for Safety-Critical Systems, FTSCS 2016, held in Tokyo, Japan, in November 2016.The 9 revised full papers presented together with an abstract of an invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 23 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on specification and verification; automotive and railway systems; circuits and cyber-physical systems; parametrized verification.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Eighth International Workshop on Rewriting Logic and its Applications (WRLA 2010) that was held in Paphos, Cyprus, March 20-21, 2010, as a satellite workshop of the European Joint C- ferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS 2010). Rewriting logic is a natural semantic framework for representing conc- rency,parallelism,communicationandinteraction,aswellasbeing anexpressive (meta)logical framework for representing logics. It can then be used for spe- fying a wide range of systems and programming languages in various appli- tion ?elds. In recent years, several executable speci?cation languages based on rewriting logic (ASF+SDF, CafeOBJ, ELAN, Maude) have been designed and implemented. The aim of the WRLA workshop series is to bring together - searchers with a common interest in rewriting logic and its applications, and to give them the opportunity to present their recent works, discuss future research directions, and exchange ideas.Previous WRLA workshops were held in Asilomar (1996), Pont-a-Mousson ' (1998), Kanazawa (2000), Pisa (2002), Barcelona (2004), Vienna (2006), and Budapest (2008), and their proceedings have been published inElectronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science. In addition, selected papers from WRLA 1996 have been published in a special issue of Theoretical Computer Science,and selected papers from WRLA 2004 appeared in a special issue of Higher-Order and Symbolic Computation.
