This volume contains a record of some of the lectures and seminars delivered at the Third International School on Engineering Trustworthy Software Systems (SETSS 2017), held in April 2017 at Southwest University in Chongqing, China.The six contributions included in this volume provide an overview of leading-edge research in methods and tools for use in computer system engineering. They have been distilled from six original courses delivered at the school on topics such as: rely/guarantee thinking; Hoare-style specification and verification of object-oriented programs with JML; logic, specification, verification, and interactive proof; software model checking with Automizer; writing programs and proofs; engineering self-adaptive software-intensive systems; and with an additional contribution on the challenges for formal semantic description. The material is useful for postgraduate students, researchers, academics, and industrial engineers, who are interested in the theory and practice of methods and tools for the design and programming of trustworthy software systems.

This volume contains the proceedings of ICTAC 2004, the 1st International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, which was held in Guiyang, China on 20-24 September 2004. ICTAC was founded by the International Institute for Software Technology of the United Nations University (UNU-IIST). Its aim is to bring together pr- titioners and researchers from academia, industry, and government to present research results, and exchange experience, ideas, and solutions for their pr- lems in theoretical aspects of computing. The geographic focus of the ICTAC events is on developing countries to help to strengthen them in their research, teaching, and development in computer science and engineering, to encourage research cooperation among developing countries, and to improve the links - tween developing countries and industrial countries. The Program Committee of ICTAC 2004 received 111 submissions from over 30 countries and regions. Each paper was reviewed, mostly by at least three r- ereesworkinginrelevant?elds,butbytwoinafewcases.Borderlinepaperswere further discussed during an online meeting of the Program Committee.Thir- fourpaperswereacceptedbasedonoriginality,technicalsoundness,presentation andrelevancetosoftwareengineeringandformalmethods.Wesincerelythankall the authors who submitted their work for consideration.
