This volume contains the proceedings of the International Conference on Computer Aided Veri?cation (CAV), held in Edinburgh, Scotland, July 6–10, 2005. CAV 2005 was the seventeenth in a series of conferences dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of computer-assisted formal an- ysis methods for software and hardware systems. The conference covered the spectrum from theoretical results to concrete applications, with an emphasis on practical veri?cation tools and the algorithms and techniques that are needed for their implementation. We received 123 submissions for regular papers and 32 submissions for tool papers.Ofthesesubmissions,theProgramCommitteeselected32regularpapers and 16 tool papers, which formed the technical program of the conference. The conference had three invited talks, by Bob Bentley (Intel), Bud Mishra (NYU), and George C. Necula (UC Berkeley). The conference was preceded by a tutorial day, with two tutorials: – Automated Abstraction Re?nement, by Thomas Ball (Microsoft) and Ken McMillan (Cadence); and – Theory and Practice of Decision Procedures for Combinations of (First- Order) Theories, by Clark Barrett (NYU) and Cesare Tinelli (U Iowa). CAV 2005 had six a?liated workshops: – BMC 2005: 3rd Int. Workshop on Bounded Model Checking; – FATES 2005: 5th Workshop on Formal Approaches to Testing Software; – GDV 2005: 2nd Workshop on Games in Design and Veri?cation; – PDPAR 2005: 3rd Workshop on Pragmatics of Decision Procedures in - tomated Reasoning; – RV 2005: 5th Workshop on Runtime Veri?cation; and – SoftMC 2005: 3rd Workshop on Software Model Checking.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International SPIN workshop on Model Checking of Software, SPIN 2003, held in portland, OR, USA in May 2003 as an ICSE 2003 satellite workshop.The 14 revised full papers and 3 revised tool papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 30 submissions. The book presents state-of-the-art results on the analysis and verification of distributed software systems using the SPIN model checker as one of the most powerful and widely applied systems.

Veri?ed Software: Theories, Tools and Experiments, VSTTE 2010, was held in Edinburgh, Scotland during August 16-19, 2010. This conference is part of the Veri?ed Software Initiative (VSI), which is a 15-year international project that focuses on the scienti?c and technical challenges of producing veri?ed software. Previous VSTTE conferences were held in Zurich, Switzerland (in 2005) and Toronto, Canada (in 2008). The goal of VSTTE 2010 was to advance the state of the art in the science andtechnologyofsoftwareveri?cationthroughtheinteractionoftheorydevel- ment,toolevolution,andexperimentalvalidation.Theacceptedpapersrepresent work on veri?cation techniques, speci?cation languages, formal calculi, veri?- tion tools, solutions to challenge problems, software design methods, reusable components, re?nement methodologies, and requirements modeling. Several of the accepted papers also presented case studies, either in response to published challenge problems or problems of practical interest. Many of the papers were also concerned with concurrent programs.

This system aided the Program Committee in avoiding con?icts of interest during the reviewing and discussion process. There was electronic discussion among the Program Committee m- bersaboutthemeritsofeachsubmission,moderatedbytheProgramCommittee Co-chairs. This year the conference received 32 submissions, of which 11 were accepted, for an acceptance rate of about 34%. Seven of the accepted papers were - authored by members of the Program Committee. We were pleased to have invited talks by Tom Ball, Gerwin Klein, and Matthew Parkinson.The authorsof these invitedtalks also graciouslyconsented to the publication of accompanying invited papers in this volume.
