Formal Modeling and Analysis of Timed Systems 6th International Conference, FORMATS 2008, Saint Malo, France, September 15-17, 2008, Proceedings

This volume consists of the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Formal Modelling and Analysis of Timed Systems (FORMATS 2008). The maingoalof thisseriesofconferencesis to bring togetherdiversecommunitiesof researchers that deal with the timing aspects of computing systems. Both f- damental and practical aspects of timed systems are addressed. Further, three invited talks that survey various aspects of this broad research domain were presented at the conference: “Composing Web Services in an Open World: QoS Issues” (Albert Benveniste); “Recent Results in Metric Temporal Logic” (Jo¨ el Ouaknine); “Comparing the Expressiveness of Timed Automata and Timed - tensions of Petri Nets” (Jiri Srba). FORMATS2008wasco-locatedwithQEST2008(FifthInternationalConf- ence on the Quantitative Evaluation of SysTems) and took place in Saint-Malo, France, during September 14–17, 2008. Detailed information about FORMATS 2008 can be found athttp://formats08.inria.fr/,while, the generic link for the QEST conference series ishttp://www.qest.org. This was a great opp- tunity for researchers of both communities to share their scienti?c interests in timed systems.
