This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering, TASE 2024, held in Guiyang, China, during July 29–August 1, 2024.The 24 full papers, 2 short papers, 1 invited abstract and 1 invited papers were carefully selected from 76 submissions. The papers presented new results on innovative advances in software engineering, as well as the latest developments in formal and theoretical software engineering methods and techniques.

On behalf of the organizing committee I would like to welcome you all to the second Asian Symposium on Programming Languages and Systems (APLAS 2004) held in Taipei on November 4–6, 2004. Since the year 2000, researchers in the area of programming languages and systems have been meeting annually in Asia to present their most recent research results, thus contributing to the advancementofthisresearcharea.ThelastfourmeetingswereheldinSingapore (2000), Daejeon (2001), Shanghai (2002), and Beijing (2003). These meetings were very fruitful and provided an excellent venue for the exchange of research ideas, ?ndings and experiences in programming languages and systems. APLAS 2004 is the ?fth such meeting and the second one in symposium setting. The ?rst symposium was held in Beijing last year. The success of the APLAS series is the collective result of many people’s contributions.ForAPLAS2004,?rstIwouldliketothankallthemembersofthe Program Committee, in particular the Program Chair Wei-Ngan Chin, for their hardworkinputtingtogetheranexcellentprogram.Iammostgratefultoinvited speakers, Joxan Ja?ar, Frank Pfenning, and Martin Odersky, who have traveled a long way to deliver their speeches at APLAS 2004. I would like to thank all the referees, who helped review the manuscripts, the authors, who contributed to the proceedings of APLAS 2004, the members of the Organizing Committee, who made considerable e?ort to organize this event, and all the participants present at this meeting. Without your support this symposium would not have been possible. Finally I would like to acknowledge the support of the Asian Association for Foundation of Software and Academia Sinica, Taiwan.

These proceedings contain the papers presented at the 8th Internationl S- posium on Automated Technology for Veri?cation and Analysis held during September 21-24, 2010 in Singapore. The primary objective of the ATVA c- ferences remains the same: to exchange and promote the latest advances of state-of-the-art research on theoretical and practical aspects of automated an- ysis, veri?cation and synthesis. From 72 papers submitted to ATVA 2010 in response to our call for papers, the Program Committee accepted 21 regular papers and 9 tool papers. Each paper received at least three reviews. The Program Committee worked hard to ensure that every submission received a rigorous and fair evaluation, with the ?nalprogramselectedaftera10-dayonlinediscussionsviatheEasychairsystem.

A new feature for the ATVA symposium this year were the two co-located workshops, In?nity 2010 (co-chaired by Yu-Fang Chen and Ahmed Rezine) and PMCW 2010 (co-chaired by Jun Sun and Hai Wang).We are delighted with the expanded scope, interactions and depth that the two workshops helped bring to the symposium. Many people worked hard and o?ered their valuable time so generously to make ATVA 2010 successful. First and foremost, we would like to thank all authors who worked hard to complete and submit papers to the conference.
