The book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation, VMCAI 2007, held in San Francisco, USA, in January 2008. The 21 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures and 2 invited tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of over 60 submissions. The papers feature current research from the communities of verification, program certification, model checking, debugging techniques, abstract interpretation, abstract domains, static analysis, cross-fertilization, and advancement of hybrid methods.

Verification, Model Checking, and Abstract Interpretation

This book contains the proceedings of VMCAI 2007. It features current research from the communities of verification, program certification, model checking, debugging techniques, abstract interpretation, abstract domains, and advancement of hybrid methods.

This book presents current methods for dealing with software reliability, illustrating the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The description of the techniques is intended for a non-expert audience with some minimal technical background. It also describes some advanced techniques, aimed at researchers and practitioners in software engineering. This reference will serve as an introduction to formal methods and techniques and will be a source for learning about various ways to enhance software reliability. Various projects and exercises give readers hands-on experience with the various formal methods and tools.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Computer Aided Verification, CAV 2004, held in Boston, MA, USA, in July 2004. The 32 revised full research papers and 16 tool papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 144 submissions. The papers cover all current issues in computer aided verification and model checking, ranging from foundational and methodological issues to the evaluation of major tools and systems.

The Automated Technology for Veri?cation and Analysis (ATVA) international symposium series was initiated in 2003, responding to a growing interest in formal veri?cation spurred by the booming IT industry, particularly hardware design and manufacturing in East Asia. Its purpose is to promote research on automated veri?cation and analysis in the region by providing a forum for int- action between the regional and the international research/industrial commu- ties of the ?eld. ATVA 2005, the third of the ATVA series, was held in Taipei, Taiwan, October 4–7, 2005. The main theme of the symposium encompasses - sign, complexities, tools, and applications of automated methods for veri?cation and analysis. The symposium was co-located and had a two-day overlap with FORTE 2005, which was held October 2–5, 2005. We received a total of 95 submissions from 17 countries. Each submission was assigned to three Program Committee members, who were helped by their subreviewers, for rigorous and fair evaluation. The ?nal deliberation by the P- gram Committee was conducted over email for a duration of about 10 days after nearly all review reports had been collected. In the end, 33 papers were - lectedforinclusionintheprogram.ATVA2005hadthreekeynotespeechesgiven respectively by Amir Pnueli (joint with FORTE 2005), Zohar Manna, and Wo- gang Thomas. The main symposium was preceded by a tutorial day, consisting of three two-hour lectures given also by the keynote speakers.

The IFIP TC6 WG 6.1 Joint International Conference on Formal Techniques for Networked and Distributed Systems, FORTE 2002, was held this year at Rice University, Houston, Texas, on November 11–14. This annual conference provides a forum for researchers and practitioners from universities and industry to meet and advance technologies in areas of speci?cation, testing, and veri?cation of distributed systems and communication protocols. The main topics are: – FDT-based system and protocol engineering. – Semantical foundations. – Extensions of FDTs. – Formal approaches to concurrent/distributed object-oriented systems. – Real-time and probability aspects. – Performance modeling and analysis. – Quality of service modeling and analysis. – Veri?cation and validation. – Relations between informal and formal speci?cation. – FDT-based protocol implementation. – Software tools and support environments. – FDT application to distributed systems. – Protocol testing, including conformance testing, interoperability testing, and performance testing. – Test generation, selection, and coverage. – Practical experience and case studies. – Corporate strategic and ?nancial consequences of using formal methods. A total of 61 papers were submitted to FORTE 2002, and reviewed by m- bers of the program committee and additional reviewers. The program committee selected 22 regular papers, two tool papers, and two posters for presentation at the conference. The program also included three tutorials and ?ve invited talks.

The RV series of workshops brings together researchers from academia and industry who are interested in runtime verification. The goal of the RV workshops is to study the ability to apply lightweight formal verification during the execution of programs. This approach complements the offline use of formal methods which often use large resources. Runtime verification methods and tools include the instrumentation of code with pieces of software that can help to test and monitor it online and detect, and sometimes prevent, potential faults. RV 2009 was held on June 26-28 in Grenoble, France, adjacent to CAV 2009. The program included 11 accepted papers. Two invited talkswere given by Amir Pnueli on "Compositional Approach to Monitoring Linear Temporal Logic Properties" and Sriram Rajamani on "Verification, Testing and Statistics". The program also included three turorials.
